F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
The importance of developing a cohesive portfolio cannot be understated for landscape photography. It is quite possible one of the most challenging things we face in order to showcase our work and to develop as artists. It can lead to better presentation of our work and a more well-rounded collection of images. Additionally, it is the corner-stone for the development of any print or book project. Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, William Neill, is a legend in the landscape photography world. Having worked worked at the Ansel Adams Gallery in the 1980's, William's work is prolific. He has been a writer for Outdoor Photography Magazine for over 20 years, he has published over 10 books, and is widely seen as one of the foremost experts on photographing Yosemite National Park. On this week's episode, we discuss: How working for Ansel Adams influenced William's career. Minor White's influence on William's approach to making images. The impetus behind William's new book, Yosemite: Sanctuary in Stone. In depth discussion about the images that were selected for his new book. Common mistakes photographers make when presenting their portfolios. How to become better curators of our own work. William's book, The Photographer's Portfolio Development Workshop (use the code WNEILL40 for 40% off ANY Rocky Nook book)!

In this episode of the Paul Weller Fan Podcast, we hear the story of a man known on your Style Council sleeve notes as Jezar - who's actually Jeremy Murray-Wakefield. From a random beginning, meeting John Weller and joining Solid Bond Studios in 1984 as a junior assistant for Peter Wilson to keyboard sequencing on Our Favourite Shop through to his promotion to Chief Engineer for elements of The Cost of Loving and on the Confessions of a Pop Group album. We hear the studio secrets of Solid Bond from the original analogue equipment to the transformation to digital, heaps of creativity and trying new things, experimentation and the creation of those songs that we know and love. We hear about Jezar's "epic fail" and something that effected the course of his life in many ways and his switch of career after TSC - following some advice from John Weller - and how the vast majority of this life since has been focused on the usability of technology.

Today marks the debut of the Billboard Insider podcast. Our first guest is John Weller, co-publisher of Billboard Insider and a co-owner of Billboard Loans, LLC, an out of home lending fund. John talks about out of home lending, what he thinks of the leverage of Lamar, Outfront and Clear Channel Outdoor and where we are in the lending cycle. John Weller In one word how would you evaluate the leverage of the three public out of home companies. Let's start with Lamar. Consistency. The reason for that is they typically have lower leverage…their debt/cashflow is currently 3.3 times. And that provides them with growth like we saw with the Fairway acquisition. How about Outfront? Aggressive. They obviously have been making big bets on transit, particularly with their New York and Boston contracts, and leverage is a bit higher but it's still in a reasonable range…they tend to run in the 4.5 range. And that brings us to Clear Channel Uncertainty. They're currently leveraged at over 8 times which is too high. It needs to over time be brought down lower. The uncertainty is what happens later this year when…Clear Channel separates from iHeart. There's a lot of opportunity but what happens may depend on their ownership group which initially will be made up of the iHeart lending group…I don't think they're going to be a very patient group and they may look to monetize their investment… Where are we in the current out of home lending cycle? As you go through a cycle you'll come out of a recession..with practical, conservative lenders…They'll stick to their knitting. The next phase you'll see will be lenders searching for growth. And that will be when growth in profits is slowing from their existing customers and so you'll start to see a push to bring in new business. The next cycle, and this is where we are now, I would call the frenzy of growth. Lenders become very aggressive in search for growth opportunities and start looking beyond traditional markets to maybe consider some other markets. And we're in this part of the cycle. It's been very favorable to outdoor. And then typically as you enter into a recession there going to pull back and we'll start the whole cycle all over again, but that pullback usually means that it can be a little difficult on smaller owner operators… Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Never miss a Billboard Insider article.

John Weller the co-founder of Floorforce.com explains why independent flooring retailers should not dwell on the box stores or the mega-retailers but should focus on the things that have made them successful and how to leverage them with a digital strategy.
John B Weller and Cassandra Brooks are a married couple based in Boulder, Colorado. Cassandra Brooks is an incoming Assistant Professor in Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. She’s worked in marine science and public outreach for twenty years, with the last 13 years largely centered on the remote reaches of Antarctica. She recently completed her PhD at Stanford University studying international ocean policy, with a focus on marine protection in the Antarctic. During her previous graduate work at Moss Landing Marine Labs, she studied Antarctic toothfish in the Ross Sea, a population that supports the most remote fishery on Earth. Cassandra was formally trained as a Science Communicator through the University of California Santa Cruz and has published more than 150 articles and multi-media stories about marine science and the environment. She has also worked with international non-profits to produce media promoting policy designed to protect ecologically important regions of the globe while writing policy reports to identify important areas for marine protection in the Antarctic and elsewhere. She currently contributes to National Geographic’s Ocean Views blog while working as a science advisor for international conservation organisations. John Weller is a partner with organizations that fight for marine protections around the world. After graduating from Stanford in Economics, he achieved critical acclaim as a writer and photographer. An impassioned observer of nature, he followed a path through the Colorado desert to the waters of the Antarctic, and has been working on Ross Sea conservation as a SeaWeb Fellow since 2005. After four trips to the Ross Sea, including three months of diving under the ice as a guest of the United States Antarctic Program, Weller compiled a library of Ross Sea photographs that has been published in dozens of magazines; used by conservation organisations to publicize the Ross Sea all over the world; and showcased at the 2009, 2011, and 2013 Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings. He produced many short films, has an upcoming book, and has worked closely with scientists, policy-makers, and conservation organizations invested in the Ross Sea. John co-founded The Last Ocean project to campaign for the protection of the Ross Sea, which Cassandra also became involved in. In our conversation they describe the incredible story of their campaigning work over many years to seek strong protection for one of the remotest and most pristine marine habitats on Earth. We cover learning to deep sea dive, why toothfish are some of the most interesting marine creatures out there, how to prepare equipment for an Antarctic trip, John’s underwater discovery about how Weddell seals stun their prey, and how you get 24 nations plus the EU (including China, Russia and the US) into a room to negotiate together. And of course we find out whether they were successful in getting global protection for this incredible place. This is one of the longer, maybe the longest, conversation I’ve recorded so far. But it is rich in detailed descriptions of the Antarctic landscape, tips on photographing in extreme environments and analysis and background on how to run an international nature conservation campaign.

On Tuesday, Nov. 26, How On Earth brings you two features: Feature #1: (start time 5:53) STEM, as you may well know, stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Many math and science topics are introduced throughout most years of primary education, but technology and engineering -- not so much. We live in a world surrounded by things imagined and designed and built by engineers, from roads and buildings to computers and appliances and even food, drugs and clothing. So it's important to understand engineering if we want to understand these life necessities. An educator tackling this issue is Dr. Christine Cunningham, vice president of research and educator resource development for a project called "Engineering is Elementary." It was developed by the Museum of Science in Boston. Cunningham is featured in an article, written by former How On Earth contributor Breanna Draxler, called "E is for Engineering" in the December issue of Discover magazine. Cunningham talks with host Joel Parker about how teaching engineering to very young students can be done. Feature #2: (start time 14:45) Arguably the healthiest marine ecosystem on Earth is the Ross Sea in Antarctica. It’s so pristine largely because it is protected by a 500-mile-wide shield of floating sea ice, and, well, it’s not exactly easy to get to. But in recent years the Ross Sea has come under threat, largely from New Zealand industrial fishing ships that are hunting as far south as they can for the Antarctic toothfish, which was rebranded as Chilean sea bass for U.S. and other consumers. John Weller is a nature photographer and conservationist living in Boulder. He has documented the beauty and fragility of the Ross Sea in his new book, The Last Ocean. Weller also co-founded a nonprofit, called The Last Ocean Project, that is dedicated to protecting the Ross Sea and other fragile marine ecosystems. Weller talks about the science and art of these environments with host Susan Moran. (You also can hear a previous interview with Weller on KGNU's Morning Magazine.)
