Connecticut Phodcast

After a lapse of time, we're back with an all new PHODcast, recorded shortly before my surgery in January. Mr Joe Crawford (FOTOjoe to YOU, thank you very much) stopped by for a very candid (R Rated language, put the kids top bed) PHODcast. We talk about living The Life in Los Angeles, film school and living in an apartment building with The Exorcist: check it out...direct link HEREsubscribe in iTunes HERE

Eric Foley - a glutton for punishment - comes back in here to talk about things that have changed for him and his business in the last three years. He also opens up at the end about some super personal stuff - Eric Foley 'raw' if you will.Be forewarned: this PHODcast is a tad more abstract than usual ( if that's even possible )...have fun-take a listen!Oh yeah - and we talk a bit about Sweet Brown too...Photo of Mr Foley by Iris Photographydirect link HEREsubscribe in iTunes HERE

So in order to try and keep things interesting this time around we have a DJ, Mike Connolly who was kind enough to pop by and talk about all things music and wedding, as well as his long line of jobs, making bleach (do people MAKE bleach??!) and how the Macarena saved his life (well, not EXACTLY his life, but you'll see...)direct link HEREsubscribe in iTunes HERE!

Well folks, the PHODcast is back for a Limited Time, and we start up again with Meg LaBarbera of Creative Image Collections who was nice enough to come on in and get me started up again. As always we chatted about how she started, her past and this time - a helicopter in the desert. No joke---direct link hereitunes here!

I luckily had the amazing opportunity to sit down with the ever-inspirational Eric Laurits during the Inspire Boston closing party. Eric has had quite an interesting past that has brought him to where he is in photography today. And remember kids, be careful where you place your commas.....http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/Eric-Laurits.mp3

This time around we continue to break the mold a bit by having a caterer in for a talk! Jonathan Jennings of Pavilion catering and the Barns at Wesleyan Hills gives us his perspective on the Wide World of Weddings---

The always lovely Candice Dowling Copploa of Jubilee Events is my first full-length PHODcast in months! And it was a joy to sit down with this talented wedding planner to get things started again. It is also great to get a fresh, non-photographic view of the wedding biz. Excuse my slightly clogged sounding cold-riddled head during this one.This is a rather long talk at nearly 75 minutes---once you open that Chardonnay and you never know WHAT will happen!!Please enjoy and don't forget to subscribe in iTunes !!!http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/Candice-Dowling-Coppola.mp3

Miss Nikki talks about her college days, shooting children and her general confusion with years and dates. Someone buy this girl a calendar...This is also the first PHODcast to use 2 separate mikes---let me know what you think about the sound--I keep trying to improve it as best as I can each time!http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/nikki-nicole.mp3

....recent D.C. transplant Mr Tony Fiorini comes on in and talks about his time at newspapers, days in the darkroom and travel in the high seas!http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/tony-fiorini.mp3

Today we meet Ross Taylor - an honest to god Photojournalist. I was introduced to Ross through John Gayalda, and was immediately enamored with his incredible work, that puts much of the work we wedding guys call 'photojournalism' to shame. Spend some time at his website before you listen, as his stories and descriptions will have that much more meaning. This podcast is probably less 'funny' than you may have come accustomed to, but listen up and you may learn something--http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/ross-taylor.mp3

Jane Shauck of Iris Photography sits down for a bit and chats about her commercial work, the Mets and light bulbs. yes thats right, light bulbs.http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/jane-shauck.mp3

Miss Leslie Dumke climbs into the hot seat in a lotus position to discuss childrens photography, her art inspirations and her brief time as a super-secret spy...http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/leslie-dumke.mp3

Miss Val McCormick is here with us today - and we chat about weird jobs, moving around a lot and forklifts. Seriously. http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/val-mccormick.mp3

Firefighter and photographer Erik Maziarz is here to talk about his family, his beginnings and his joining of Carla Ten Eycks photographic team - check it out!http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/Erik-Maziarz.mp3

Today I have the pleasure of introducing Eric Langlois of Raw Photo Design. Diet Coke in hand, Eric tells us about his relatively recent meteoric ascent into the wedding world, as well as becoming Connecticut's Mr. Boudoir. I kid you not.He's so raw he was not wearing underpants.http://www.norman-photography.com/phodcast/eric-langlois.mp3
