This week, Peter talks to the talented Greek photographer, Maria Kaimaki about her beautiful images and her almost spiritual approach to landscape photography in Greece.
“Photography changed my life in more ways than I could have imagined, it opened a door to a whole new reality, a new way of seeing and appreciating the world around me, a new philosophy and way of life. In photography you learn to focus on what’s significant excluding from your frame the insignificant or ugly elements of a scene. That’s not so far from how people should live their life if you think about it!
Moreover, photography is for me a reason to wake up before the sun comes up, a reason to explore and discover new places and enjoy them in all their beauty. Most importantly it’s the means to collect experiences and memories. Sometimes I’m able to transform those experiences and memories into a picture I can share. Other times they just remain as images in my mind. They are equally real to me either way.” Maria Kaimaki
Maria will be live on Fine Art Photography Weekly, Tuesday, May the 10th at 1:30 Pacific time at http://smibs.tv/live
Two very special guests joined Peter, Wednesday in discussing the upcoming Turkish GP this weekend. Steve Hallam engineered Nigel Mansell at John Player Team Lotus before joining McLaren in 1991. Over the next 18 years he was a part of six World Championships – four Constructors’ and two Drivers’. In a rare move for F1 engineers, Steve switched to NASCAR in 2009. He spoke to us from the North Carolina headquarters of Michael Waltrip Racing, where Steve is now Executive Vice-President for Competition. Joining Peter in the studio is a very familiar guest to regular viewers and the author of the blog ScarbsF1, Craig Scarborough. Craig spoke to us about all the latest F1 technical developments to the background of more superb photographs from Sutton Images. Also, talk about Kimi going to Nascar and Scarbs speculates about Red Bull’s ability to get their KERS system working, all that and more in Episode 19 of The Flying Lap.
We are very privileged to have John Upton on the next episode Photo Espresso. John has been a photographer for over 60 years, having trained with legends such as Ansel Adams, Minor White, Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham. John has spent his professional career as a fine artist, a commercial photographer and a university and college professor in the US and internationally. His work has been featured in countless galleries and since 1999 he has retired from teaching to focus on his photography. Currently, he is working on a project he calls Japanalia which is a work composed of images he has taken over the last 33 years of visiting the country. We are excited to see the story of Japan that his images tell as the culture and country has evolved over the last three decades. Making it all the more relevant, the more recent changes in Japan with the tsunami disaster, we hope to hear John’s perspective given his intimate knowledge of the country.
