    That interview was absolutely awesome… Caleb gave great insight into his world, which is important in any interview..Thanks, Caleb .I wasn’t too sure if he had more than one cat, but somewhere around minute 13:00 it felt like that Neo and the black cat deja vu moment.. LMAO !!! You did a Terrific Job interviewing him, Aaron.. Solid, Baby!

    Watched this on the tram going home last night, and since the conversation box was was kinda small on the iphone, i didnt know what lived in your house Caled until you mentioned it was cats, kinda spooky. Couldnt really ask the person sitting next to me “did you see that in the background, what was it?”.

    Caleb, I like the idea to do things now, rather then just trying to find the right time for right things, and i think that applies for everything. I often find myself browsing the internet for photoshop tutorials, photo tips, gear reviews.. when i really just want to take photographs. I am not gonna produce more work, just because i know all the new technical terms, and techniques in photoshop. Sometimes i just want to press pause, and get the time to learn and do all the things i want to do.

    Have a nice weekend all, going to Stockholm myself, to new photo exhibitions and vacation time.

    Great interview! so i was walking through the art supply store at the Maryland Institute College of Art today to buy some stuff for a project and noticed the book “Altered Image” on a shelf and was taken back to see one of your images on the back cover! thought that was pretty awesome! anyway keep up the awesome tutorials and interviews.

    So true what Caleb said… the quality is important but the connections are MORE important! I am so struggling with connections, I always spend time getting better, learn more with tutorials but at the end of the day I really need to work more on the connections. Really trying that! It is just really hard sometimes.

    I just added you on twitter Caleb (that I actually just started because I liked what you said in this interview). K, now I have to go and find out how twitter works…

    Any of YOU GUYS here on twitter as well? Let me add you! :D

    @ Aaron : great idea, great interview, loved it!
    @ Caleb: great interview, you have some great shots, I esp. loved the one with the guys in a row and the ties in the wind!!

    The discussion about social networking really struck home.   I just started using Google+ based on the recommendation from others that it is a great vehicle to connect with other photogs.   I just added Aaron and Caleb.  Next I have to make my profile relevant and start posting.
    Aaron, I was wondering if you had created a Phlearn circle that you would share?  Hash tags related to Phlearn, etc..?

    glad you got some stuff out of it!!

    thank you very much! twitter is very awesome.  Who you follow becomes like your news feed!  So if you follow photographers and the like your stream becomes super relevant about photography.  And that goes for everything! sports, photography, filmmaking, news, whatever.

    glad you liked it!

    for sure! i do the same thing. A lot of times ill do nothing but research and realize, “all this information isnt helping me if im not taking time to apply it”  so you definitely have to “do!”

You only need new gear if you can define exactly how your current gear is limiting you and how the new gear would remove the limitation. If you can’t the money would be better spent on workshops and other forms of training.
