The Royal Photography Society This week Marcus is doing the show solo, without Sam, and talking to Dr Michael Pritchard from the Royal Photography Society(RPS).  Michael's story Photography has been something Michael has been involved in since he was 11  years old.  He started working as a Saturday boy in a professional studio in the late 70s. The studio did a wide range of different work from weddings, studio and commercial work. He also got to work in the black and white darkroom. This really sparked Michael's passion for photography. They allowed him to do his own work there, using the professional dark room. Michael went to university, but would always come back in the holidays and do more work and use the dark room. He started to develop a love of the history of photography and joined the RPS as a junior member as he wanted access to the historical group within the society. He used to go to the RPS's London location in London and meet with the historical group. Michael got a job at Christie's as they knew of his historical knowledge of cameras and photographs. He was organising auctions at Christie's. Michael learnt a huge amount about the history of photography through this work.  Michael still now has a small amount of historical cameras which he still uses from time to time. He worked in Christie's for about 20 years. He then moved to do a Phd in the history of photography. While there he still did some work from Christie's and for the British Library who had gained the Kodak library and needed help organising it. Michael also did some teaching at DeMontford university on a module on the history of photography. Then in 2011 as he was finishing his Phd he was approached about applying for a role of the RPS as director general. Since then the role has been split in two and he then moved to the programs and education side of the role.   What does the RPS do for photographers? The RPS is a registered charity and a membership organisation. There ultimate goal is member education, helping them become better photographers. Most members of the RPS are amateur, although some are professional. Some photographers get letters after their name showing their work has been recognised by the RPS. The RPS has a journal the has been going for over 150 years. The RPS do a lot of work with the local universities. The RPS has moved from Bath to Bristol. The Bristol location gives them a large exhibition space and an auditorium. Their exhibition changes every year, but some of the work can date back to the start of the RPS. The RPS is a community of people, about ten thousand members. Part of the RPS's work is building that community. Michael also reminds us that photography should be fun and sometimes we can forget this.   Artificial intelligence Marcus asked Michael about AI. The RPS has issued a statement about AI. Generative AI is something the RPS is wrestling with. The RPS doesn't see AI generated images as photography. There is also the use of AI in software. So the software in your smartphone, the software in photoshop all uses AI. The RPS is comfortable about most of that, be it autofocus, setting enhancement etc. But then this software is starting to go forward doing things like replacing the sky. That is then an issue as it is no longer really a photograph. The RPS is actively wrestling with these issues. A lot of photographers are already using AI in their practice and Michael thinks it is better to work with AI than fight against it, but within certain parameters. He sees no reason why photographers can't embrace it into their practice, as they did with digital when that came out.

I met Michael Pritchard many years ago when I heard him speak at a holiday party for a roomful of social service types tasked with lifting up the disenfranchised in our community. That afternoon, he fed our collective souls with a combination of storytelling and humor unlike anything I had ever seen before. After the crowd began to thin, I summoned up my courage to introduce myself to him.At the time I was running a fledgling nonprofit, with not enough money and too much work and a handful of students I was tasked with inspiring. The only problem was, I was burned out. I'd been burning the candle at both ends for a long time and the work was starting to get to me.I don't know what i said to him. I don't suppose matter. But whatever it was, Mike knew what I needed. He  looked me in the eyes and gave me a pep talk, one that hit me right in my heart. He invited me to bring my students to “shadow him” when he visited a local school district, performing a handful of shows for the students.I watched as he paced back and forth. A caged tiger searching for prey.  He told stories that made the kids laugh uproariously. He ran through a series of impersonations, from Yoda to Wookies and many more. He had them eating out of the palm of his hand.And then he lowered the hammer.“How many of you know someone who gets picked on, bullied or is the last one to get picked to play,” he bellows. Dozens of hands shoot high in the air. He invited student after student to share their stories.  The tears flow and Mike is there to stand beside them, to witness their courage. To challenge the students to stand up for one another. To choose kindness over cruelty.  “Hurt people hurt people,” he reminds them. Mike is the change he wants to see in the world. He began his career on both the comedy stage and as a juvenile counselor in San Francisco's Youth Guidance Center. In 1980, Michael Pritchard won first place in the San Francisco International Stand Up Comedy Competition as well as winning the prestigious California Probation Officer of the Year.Offers from Hollywood rolled in including a guest appearance on an Emmy Award winning episode of “Taxi.” His sensational stand up comedy billed him with Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld,Dana Carvey and Whoopi Goldberg. But Michael knew he was being called for something else.A deeply spiritual man, Mike draws  from his counseling background, and began using humor to inspire. His broad audience base - from corporate employees, healthcare workers, and government and state officials - have honored him with countless standing ovations and numerous awards As a result of his work, Michael Pritchard has been featured on CNN, NBC's The Today Show, The Tonight Show, CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt, Time Magazine and People Magazine.He's done seven educational series for PBS and distribution has been seen by millions and focuses on youth guidance in the areas of violence prevention as well as a appearing in The Happy Movie. To learn more about Michael Pritchard, please visit his website here.To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about Suzanne, visit her website.To learn more about the inspiration for this podcast, please check out Suzanne's memoir,  Estrellas - Moments of Illumination Along El Camino de San

“The two most important words that you can say are I am”, says Jimmy Carrethers, inspirational speaker, teacher, personal development trainer and life coach. “But be careful with that because whatever you attach those two words to, you become.”When Jimmy Carrethers was a young boy, he struggled to find his voice. He was so afraid to speak that when he was just 8-years-old, he locked himself in the garage, lined up all his stuffed animals in a row and proceeded to preach to them from the Bible as he balanced himself on a stack of milk cartons. It was there, he says now, that his public speaking career really began.  His childhood was not an easy one. Marked by violence and without positive role models, he struggled with confidence and self-esteem.  That is until one day when a martial arts teacher told him he believed in him and things began to change. This is a conversation about the power we have to change the course of our lives. About what happens when we learn to believe in ourselves and help light the way for others. Jimmy's “preaching” is filled with story, humor and truth. As an inspirational speaker Jimmy educates people on how to build self-esteem, self-compassion, and develop great communication skills in order to create a working and learning environment that promotes social/emotional wellness.  Jimmy's desire to help people reach their true potential has made him one of the most admired and sought after speaker and trainer. His experience in the power of human potential, combined with his dynamic, humorous, and inspirational speaking style, makes for an exciting and motivating environment.  He encourages people of all ages to “Live with PASSION!!” and to realize that your “PAST is NOT your POTENTIAL”.   Jimmy has worked with several non-profit organizations, providing coaching and training and is now teamed up with Mr. Michael Pritchard, PBS Host Comedian at Heartland Media Foundation. Together they have traveled around sharing their incredible, captivating and inspiring message of HOPE, LOVE, COMPASSION and TEAMWORK. You can reach Jimmy Carrethers at (510) 894-9235 or (925) 272-8104To Find Jimmy Carrethers on Social MediaOn Facebook @  Facebook.com/LifeEnhancers1On Instagram @ jcarrethers21To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about the inspiration for this podcast, please check out Suzanne's memoir,  Estrellas - Moments of Illumination Along El Camino de Santiago. Find Suzanne on Social Mediahttps://www.suzannemaggio.comOn Instagram: @mamasuzannaOn Facebook: @suzannemaggioauthorOn Twitter: @bottomofninth

I was, and remain, extremely honored to have an opportunity to spend time with one of my heroes: Michael Pritchard From his website: Michael Pritchard is a nationally acclaimed keynote speaker praised by the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and Time for his ability to use humor to inspire and educate his audiences on life skills. Using his unique humorous style, he empowers his young audience with social and emotional skills and influences them to make good choices.

I really could go on and on about him; I told you, he's one of my heroes! Probably best if you just sit back and listen… as I did. When in the presence of real-world wisdom: listening is a good idea. :-) If you are interested in Michael's services and gifts, you can find him at his website, michaelpritchard.com

Richard West talks to Michael Pritchard, Director General of the Royal Photographic Society about his future plans for the organisation.

SONGS OF WATER is an adventurous and exciting band from North Carolina. Their bluegrass textures driven by the uncommon use of the Appalachian hammered dulcimer, followed by the brooding foundation of heavy percussion makes their music rich and passionate. With band leader Stephen Roach�s world music influence, the classical background of violinist Marta Richardson, the Spanish infused guitar of co-founder Jason Windsor, and multi-instrumentation of Greg Willette, Luke Skaggs and Michael Pritchard, Songs of Water creates a unique sound that reaches beyond the common. MEGAN McCORMICK is a 23-year-old Nashville-based singer, songwriter and guitarist with her roots in bluegrass and her heart in rock. The sexy, raw, heavy, beautiful rock & roll of her debut CD, “Honest Words� really caught our attention. Megan grew up listening to the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Steely Dan, but her most essential influences were from her musical family in Alaska. McCormick has won two International Bluegrass Music Association awards for Recorded Event of the Year in 2006 (“Back To The Well�) and again in 2009 (“Proud To Be A Daughter of Bluegrass�) .This past year, she also landed her song, “Bullseye�, in the Emmy-Award nominated film, Prayers for Bobby, featuring Sigourney Weaver.
