Phil Penman is a world renowned street photographer. An Englishman in New York for 25 years he's shot major world events, chased weather across the globe and more recently turned his hand to books and workshops. More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Top shot © Kristof Ramon   The dynamic arena of competitive cycling photography is not for the faint of heart. This grueling specialty requires a mix of split-second reaction times, intuitive technical mastery, and the ability to anticipate—and even more important—embrace risk. It takes a special breed of photographer to continuously capture every ounce of emotion packed into this sport, from bruising injuries and bitter disappointments to the exaltation of a win.    For today's show, we've brought together two passionate cycling aficionados, former competitive cyclist and renowned street photographer Phil Penman and Kristof Ramon, a cycling photography specialist who recently released his first book on the subject. While they're introduced as strangers, get ready to be wowed by the synchronicity of their shared experiences, and the remarkable chemistry that grows between them over the course of the show.   Most people's awareness of competitive cycling revolves around coverage of the Tour de France or other major races shown on TV. Our conversation delves much deeper than this, to reveal what happens behind the scenes, and show both the intensity of purpose and the many stages of suffering that's a hallmark of this sport. Kristof's book is titled The Art of Suffering for a reason. As he aptly sums up in the book's opening quote: “Where the conditions get grimmer and the riders start to suffer, that's when the more interesting stories begin.”   Guests: Phil Penman & Kristof Ramon   Episode Timeline:   3:56: Phil Penman's connection to the competitive cycling world and how his insight as a cyclist informs his photography of the sport.    7:45: The logistics of photographing competitive cycling and the perils of damaging photo equipment.   10:36: The creative aspect to photographing competitive cycling and how to think outside the box to get impactful shots.   15:16: The many stages of suffering involved in competitive cycling, and the pride riders take in having this documented visually.   20:35: Photographer access, the difference between training rides and race days, and the distinctions between agency access and working independently.   26:26: Changes to Kristof's photographic approach and the influence of social media in the sport's evolution.   31:31: Technical aspects of cycling photography, understanding light, capturing speed, and putting in the time so to react intuitively to picture opportunities.   43:44: Episode Break   44:53: Communication strategies, building rapport with riders and teams, and people skills given the sport's international reach.   47:51: Cycling's rich history as a professional sport, and recent changes initiated by British Team Sky that helped the sport evolve.   54:45: The back story to Kristof's Art of Suffering book project and how his collaboration with cycling writer Matt Rendell helped identify suffering as a narrative element.   58:40: Working with clients, balancing that work with personal projects, and developing a distinctive voice as a photographer.    1:06:15: How to start out as a competitive cycling photographer, questions about credentials, and adapting to new networks to distribute your work.   1:13:23: Balancing technical aspects of action photography with the desired emotional response while building in certainties and calculating risk.     Guest Bios: British-born, New York-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the ever-changing scene of New York City's streets for more than 25 years. and he has quite a bit of experience in the world of professional cycling himself.   In his career as a news and magazine photographer, Phil has photographed major public figures and historical events. His reportage following the 9/11 terrorist attack was featured in major print publications and media broadcasts worldwide, and his work covering New York City's pandemic lockdown is in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.    In addition to exhibiting at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Phil's signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching photo workshops for Leica Akademie. Phil's books, "Street" published in 2019, and "New York Street Diaries" published in 2023 both became best-sellers and have been featured at New York's Museum of Modern Art.   Kristof Ramon is a pro-cycling photographer who covers some of the world's most prestigious races, including the Tour de France, the Giro d' Italia, the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011.    Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof's reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he's able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof's first book, The Art of Suffering, was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing.   Stay Connected: Phil Penman Website: https://www.philpenman.com Phil Penman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philpenman/ Phil Penman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philpenmanphotography/  Phil Penman Twitter: https://x.com/Penmanphoto  Phil Penman Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Penman   Kristof Ramon Website: https://kramon.be/ Kristof Ramon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kramon_velophoto Kristof Ramon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kramon/ Kristof Ramon Twitter: https://x.com/kristoframon  Kristof Ramon Photoshelter: https://kramon.photoshelter.com/ Kristof Ramon Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/  Kristof Ramon at Lawrence King Publishing: https://us.laurenceking.com/products/the-art-of-suffering

Stan's guest is historian Jane Calvert, author of Penman of the Founding: A Biography of John Dickinson, published in October by Oxford University Press. Dickinson was at the forefront of the Revolutionary movement but refused to sign the Declaration of Independence and has been largely forgotten. Calvert argues in her new book that without John ...Continue Reading »

In PENMAN OF THE FOUNDING: A Biography of John Dickinson, historian Jane E. Calvert sheds light on the Founding Father that history forgot. In addition to his numerous contributions to the fight for American independence, Dickinson championed a number of important causes; including the abolition of slavery, the rights of women, and better conditions for the poor. Comprehensive, thoughtful, and sweeping in scope, PENMAN OF THE FOUNDING is a stunning tribute to an unsung hero of the American revolution. Jane E. Calvert received her PhD in history from the University of Chicago. She has taught at St. Mary's College of Maryland, the University of Kentucky, and Yale University and is currently director and chief editor of the John Dickinson Writings Project. Her work, which has been supported by leading research institutions as well as federal agencies, focuses on the intersection of theology and political theory in the Colonial and Founding Eras.

As the founder and CEO of Jim's Group, Jim Penman created one of the biggest franchising businesses in the world. A passionate, dedicated and unique business person, Jim joins us to share insights into what drives success and happiness. With many Jim's franchises in Penrith, the business has come a long way from the early days of Penman himself mowing lawns.

As today's guest writes in the introduction of her new book Penman of the Founding: A Biography of John Dickinson, “For more than two hundred years, John Dickinson has suffered from an image problem that no one in his day would have thought possible." In Signers' Hall at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the statue of John Dickinson stands alone in a corner, hand pensively on chin, apart from the action of the Federal Convention…Alternatively, they might imagine him in the manner of the musical 1776, strutting across a stage, ever to the right, never to the left, with ruffles aflutter, singing jubilantly about his conservatism. There he at least possesses the virtue of energy. Or they could imagine him as HBO's pale, sweaty, scowling disbeliever in the American cause, opposite a stalwart John Adams. But none of these images of him is accurate.” That is if we have any images of him in our heads at all–which, to be honest, is highly unlikely. This conversation aims to change that.  Jane E. Calvert is Founding Director and Chief Editor of the John Dickinson Writings Project, which under her guidance has produced three of a projected 13 volumes of Dickinson's prolific output. She is the authority on Quaker political thought, which she has delineated in Quaker Constitutionalism and the Political Thought of John Dickinson. Penman of the Founding is now the definitive biography of John Dickinson, and hopefully the basis for much more scholarly work.

"We cannot be happy without being FREE." Those words come from John Dickinson, who saw LIBERTY as the foundation of everything else. Once almost as famous as Benjamin Franklin, Dickinson is almost totally forgotten today. Known as the “Penman of the Revolution,” he was a fierce defender of natural rights, the father of the Articles of Confederation, a leading opponent of the Stamp Act, a supporter of the Constitution, and much more. To honor his birthday, we're diving into the life and legacy of one of America's most underrated and ignored founding fathers. The post Most Underrated and Ignored Founder: John Dickinson, Penman of the Revolution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

We believe in transparency, so we had our CEO, Jim Penman, respond in full to the news.com.au hit pieces so that anyone looking at a Jim's franchise can make up their own mind. To learn more about Jim's, call 131 546 or www.jims.net

During the mid-1800s, one third of all paper money in America was thought to be fake. It was the golden age of counterfeiting, and one exceptionally talented con artist stood out from all the rest. His fakes were nearly perfect…but for a trademark tell. Known to law enforcement only as “Jim the Penman,” this celebrity criminal led many Americans to wonder: can great art truly be criminal? GuestsEllen Feingold, curator of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History

Chapter 1What is MindfulnessOnce upon a time, in a world filled with chaos and distraction, there was a book called Mindfulness by J. Mark G. Williams and Danny Penman. This book became a guiding light for those seeking inner peace and clarity in their lives. Through its pages, readers learned the art of paying attention to the present moment, of being fully aware of their thoughts and emotions without judgment.With practical exercises and insights, the book taught readers how to cultivate mindfulness in their daily lives, bringing calm and balance to their minds. As they delved deeper into the teachings of the book, they discovered a profound sense of inner serenity and connectedness to the world around them.In the end, they realized that true peace could be found not in the chaos of the outside world, but within themselves, through the practice of mindfulness. And so, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, guided by the wisdom of Mindfulness.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of MindfulnessWilliams and Penman employ a clear and accessible language style that effectively conveys the principles and practices of mindfulness. They utilize descriptive and evocative language to help readers understand the emotions and meanings associated with mindfulness techniques. Their writing is persuasive and engaging, encouraging readers to delve deeper into the practice of mindfulness. Overall, their use of language serves to effectively convey the benefits and importance of mindfulness in everyday life.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of MindfulnessMindfulness, defined as the practice of being present and aware in the moment, has had a significant impact on literature, culture, and society in recent years. This practice has gained popularity as a tool for managing stress, improving mental health, and enhancing overall well-being.In literature, mindfulness has been explored as a theme in various works, with authors incorporating the practice into their characters' journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. Books such as "Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn and "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh have become influential texts in the field of mindfulness literature, encouraging readers to cultivate a greater sense of presence in their daily lives.In terms of culture, mindfulness has permeated popular media and entertainment, with numerous apps, websites, and podcasts dedicated to teaching mindfulness practices and techniques. Additionally, mindfulness-based therapies, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), have gained traction in the mental health field as effective tools for managing anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.Society as a whole has also embraced mindfulness, with schools, workplaces, and community organizations incorporating mindfulness practices into their programs and initiatives. Mindfulness training has been shown to improve focus, attention, and emotional regulation, leading to more productive and compassionate interactions among individuals.Overall, mindfulness has had a profound impact on modern society, changing people's ways of thinking and encouraging a more mindful, present approach to living. Its influence on literature, culture, and society has helped to promote a greater sense of awareness, connection, and well-being among individuals around the world.Chapter 4 Other Accessible Resources1.

By Adam Turteltaub The annual Navex Whistleblowing, Incident Management and Benchmarking Report provides valuable insights into what's going on across the corporate compliance landscape. To get the highlights we spoke with Carrie Penman (LinkedIn), Chief Risk & Compliance Officer for Navex. The 2023 data showed that reporting reached an all-time high, with 1.57 reports for every 100 employees, up from 1.47 the previous year. Substantiation reached an 11 year high at 45%, which indicates that compliance teams are getting both more and better reports out of the workforce. Anonymity remained dominant, with 56% of reports arriving that way. Substantiation rates for anonymous reports held steady at 33%, which is lower than the 50% for reports given by an identified individual. Accounting-related incidents accounted for 4.3% of reports, a relatively small number. However, they were notable because they had the longest period between the observation of suspected wrongdoing and reporting. They also were the least likely to be reported anonymously. Third party reporters were likelier to report on business integrity issues, such as human rights, bribery and conflicts of interest. Substantiation rates were similar to those of anonymous reports. So what should compliance teams be doing as a result of this data? First, she recommends continuing to build trust in reporting systems. Second, prepare for an increased number of reports. Listen in to learn more about what is going on in incidents and whistleblowing.

What does it take to build a massive franchise from scratch? Tune into this episode as we have a little bit of fun, discovering what's at the heart of the largest franchising chain in the Southern Hemisphere. We recently had the honor and privilege of interviewing someone we've admired for many years: the incredible Jim Penman, one of Australia's most iconic entrepreneurs, and founder of Jim's Mowing. If you're an Australian, you know exactly who we're talking about. If you're not, let me fill you in. Jim is one of those childhood heroes for many of us in business. He started Jim's Mowing back in 1982 with just a $24 investment. Now, he's got 5300 franchise businesses generating over $500 billion annually! What we loved most about this interview is how real, relatable, and honest Jim is. We went in not knowing what to expect, which often makes for the best conversations.

While pursuing his history PhD at Latrobe University, Jim Penman quickly found that research in the area of his passion—epigenetics—would require a significant amount of money for such a massive research project, so Jim established a side gardening company. With a $24 investment, this became a full-time mowing service in 1982.  With the success of the Jim's Group, he was slowly able to start funding that research. Now, his team includes a full-time scholar and several graduate students at a La Trobe University lab with many academic papers published in renowned journals. Jim has written that research into his books including “Biohistory: Decline and Fall of the West.” Dr. Penman believes that a thorough examination of epigenetics will lead to a resolution of many of societies biggest challenges, including depression and obesity. Over forty years later, the Jim's Group has 48 divisions and more than 5,000 franchisees in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Jim's most successful franchises include Jim's Mowing, Jim's Cleaning, and Jim's Dog Wash. Jim continues to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the company and is readily available to all of his franchisees as well as any customer with a significant complaint.   Connect with Jim Penman: ➡ Jim Penman's website: https://jims.net ➡ Jim Penman's Email: jim@jims.net ➡ Jim Penman's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejimpenman/ ➡ Jim Penman's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejimpenman/ ➡ Jim Penman's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejimpenman/   Connect with Direct Selling Accelerator: ➡ Visit our website: https://www.auxano.global/ ➡ Subscribe to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DirectSellingAccelerator ➡ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auxanomarketing/ ➡ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/auxanomarketing/ ➡ Email us at grow@auxanomarketing.com.au If you have any podcast suggestions or things you'd like to learn about specifically, please send us an email at the address above.

From bustling metropolises to sleepy neighborhoods, we discuss the magic of street photography as a means of documenting the ever-evolving tapestry of urban life. Phil also shares his tips and techniques for consistently finding interesting images to capture.

Jim Penman is an Australian entrepreneur who turned a simple gardening gig into a massive franchising empire with Jim's Group. Starting small in 1982, he grew his lawn care and cleaning services into Australia's largest franchise network, expanding internationally. Despite his business success, Penman has attracted controversy for his self-published books and ideas related to biohistory, which some critics view as problematic.

A name almost totally forgotten today, John Dickinson was famous - known as “The Penman of the American Revolution.” A true Lockean in support of liberty, life and property - he helped lead the opposition to the Stamp Act, the Declaratory Act, the Townshend Acts - and much more. The post John Dickinson: A “Great Worthy of the Revolution” first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
