She will testify in the sexual assault trial against convicted rapist that began in Los Angeles Monday. Then, If you've seen any ads about ballot propositions in November's election, they've probably been about legalizing sports-betting.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday called the shooting over the weekend in Buffalo, New York domestic terrorism and spoke about the dangers of white supremacy. But this is not a new problem. The alarms have been ringing for years. Then, a judge in Los Angeles struck down California's Women on Corporate Boards law saying it violated the equal protection clause in the state constitution. Many lawmakers say they knew the law was on shaky legal ground to begin with but they point to the changes it made in corporate boardrooms. Next, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has created a vast digital surveillance program secretly amassing the personal information of millions of immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria launched the “Bridge to Home” program on Monday. It's goal: to speed up the construction of affordable housing. Next, if approved by the legislature the state will give counties money to expand the courts to focus on getting severely mentally ill and chronically addicted people off the streets and into shelters. But some mental health professionals have concerns about how the so-called Care Court would work in the real world. After, Dr. Lamont Jackson will be the next superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District. What challenges will he face as leader of the state's second largest district? Then, a $3.5 billion mega project may soon be replacing the original Seaport Village and Central Embarcadero.

Eric Kunsman and I talk about his work, Fake News Archive Project: A Historical Archive of the Donald J. Trump Presidency. Eric is looking for people interested in the next election, and any archive enthusiasts, to search through his screen captured collection of news headlines from the past almost four years and to highlight, through your own social media, the stories that were impactful to you but, because of the overwhelming news cycle, may now be lost to history. Here is his description of the work: This is my approach at recording history in the tumultuous times we live in and a historical approach to looking at the Presidency of Donald J. Trump and his claim of “Fake News.” These images are to serve in a historical context and not as a political statement. This project started the day after Election Day and will continue until (TBD.) I started by imaging only CNN due to the President's verbiage and quickly realized I needed other major news sources as a comparative measure. The use of multiple news sources serves as a barometer and allows the viewers to view this in its historical context.

How the f**k did Rodney Cofield Jr. go from getting a free camera from a grant to providing freelance work for the likes of Turner Sports, Bud Light, Nike and adidas? Today we are chatting with Rodney Cofield Jr. Rodney graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Mass Communication. Upon graduating, he tried his hand in a few different careers before he was able to pick up a camera through a grant he wrote himself. He started making a name for himself shooting local high school football games, and eventually, he picked up a second degree in Video and Photographic Arts from Georgia Southern. Today, he runs his own content production company based out of Atlanta called iSmooth Media. So how did Rodney provide a service in a space and a city that really needed it? And did we finally answer the question: Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Jane Szabo is a Los Angeles based fine art photographer, with an MFA from Art Center College of
Design in Pasadena, CA. Her work investigates issues of self and identity. Using self-portraiture and
still life as a vehicle to share stories from her life, her work merges her love for fabrication and
materials, with conceptual photography. Szabo brings many facets of visual art into her photographic
projects, incorporating sculptural, performance and installation elements into her work. Her imagery is often infused with humor and wonder, ingredients that draw the viewer in, inviting them to linger and to have a dialogue with the work, and themselves. Her background in the film industry, creating prop and miniatures for theme parks, and overseeing set construction for film and television, undoubtedly informs her creative process. Szabo’s photography has been exhibited widely, including solo shows at the Museum of Art & History in Lancaster, CA, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, the Yuma Fine Art Center in Arizona, and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Oceanside Museum of Art, the Griffin Museum of Photography, Houston Center of Photography, Tilt Gallery, Davis Orton Gallery, The Colorado Center for Photographic Arts, San Diego Art Institute, Los Angeles Center for Photography, Gallery 825 in Los Angeles, the Kaohsiung International Photographer Exhibition in Taiwan, and Foto Fever in Paris, France. Her photographs have been featured in many publications and blogs including: The Huffington Post,
Lenscratch, Mono Chroma Magazine, Silvershotz, Bokeh Bokeh, L’Oeil de la Photographie, F-Stop
Magazine, Foto Relevance, Fraction, Your Daily Photo, A Photo Editor, Don’t Take Pictures, Art &
Cake, Diversions LA, ArtsMeme, and others. Jane Szabo’s work is in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA), the

My guest this week is Naty Howard. Naty is a sacred healer and wellness warrior. She is the author of the upcoming book ‘Your Mighty Inner Healer', a certified Anusara Yoga Teacher, Shamanic Practitioner, a certified QRA™ Practitioner, and a landscape painter. She holds a certificate in Ayurvedic Living Nutrition and a BAA in Photographic Arts. Naty's work and passion are anchored in the awareness that every breath and every action are an opportunity to transform. She offers classes and workshops to awaken into sacredness, come back into alignment of body, mind and soul through deep reverence. She offers tools and practices for those who seek to power up their health, ignite their transformation and spark their revolution, that are anchored in Earth and ancestral wisdom. Having healed herself from extreme heavy metal toxicity causing numbness on the right side of her body, she now offers others tools and practices for deep healing, for the reclaiming of your self, your power, freedom, purpose, best potential, your buried soul treasures and the possibility to truly reclaim your mightiness. I recently met Naty at a Sacred full moon ceremony where she walked us through a yoga practice, some meditation with deep belly breathing and then she took us through a guided spiritual journey. I'd never done one like this and it was a pretty cool experience. I missed a good chunk of the journey that everyone else got, as I kinda fell asleep. But according to Naty that's what my body needed at that time.   You can follow Naty on Instagram   @naty_howard   Facebook   Sacred Yoga Spirit Medicine   And you can contact her on the intrerwebs @   natyhoward.com   If you want more information on the Oil Dudes, you can check us out on the web at   theoilgirlscanada.ca/the-oil-dude   or on Facebook   @theoildudespodcast    and Instagram   @the_oil_dudes   and Twitter   @strattosphere76   A little disclaimer for the legal side of things.

Elizabeth Moss is dedicated to recognizing Maine’s role in American Art.  She opened her gallery in 2004 after completing a master of art's program in museum studies and curatorial research at George Washington University. While in Washington she worked at the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden and was a member of Zonta International and a founding member of the Smithsonian Young Benefactors.  In 2010, she founded the nonprofit arts organization the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts and was its Executive Director from 2010- 2014 and today heads the Advisory Board. In 2013, she was a finalist in Maine Family Business Awards for Elizabeth Moss Galleries and the gallery was named one of the top 500 Galleries in North America by Blouin International's website ArtInfo.  She is also an active member of the Women's Executive Forum. As director of Elizabeth Moss Galleries, she has exhibited at international art fairs in NYC's 28th Street Armory and Boston's AD20/21 at the Cyclorama.  Artworks from her gallery have been included in the Art in Embassies program and are in the corporate collections of LL Bean, Acadia Insurance and Maine General Hospital and countless private collections in the US, France, Saudi Arabia and Finland. Click to tweet: .@emossgalleries is sharing her story to inspire you on Women Taking the Lead https://womentakingthelead.com/227 #inspiration Playing Small Moment At the start of her business, Elizabeth was told by two well-known gallery owners that she should move to a more popular area. Elizabeth knew that she would probably flourish in a lofty place away from the strip mall she was in, but stayed put. It may not have been glamorous, but she wouldn’t have survived if she had followed their advice. The Wake Up Call In 2010, a client inquired about a painting that had been in their family a long time. With Elizabeth’s love for art history, she took a look at the painting and saw the beauty shine through. Discovering that the painting had an incredible history, Elizabeth realized she has just as much to offer as everyone else outside of Maine. What Are You Excited About? Elizabeth wants to focus on branching outside of Maine, possibly nationwide. Current Business Challenge Elizabeth feels like there is a retraction in art market. With recent politics, there is a little uncertainty in where it’s all going and the unknown can impact a nonessential industry like art. Leadership Practice Elizabeth’s relationships with everyone she knows. Advice For Younger Self It’s okay if you’re not 100% every day. It’s ok to be 60-70% sometimes as the days you are 124% will even it out in the end.

In this episode of Creative Photoshop we go into a different direction. For several years I have taught a class called Polaroid Creativity: Analog Input/Digital Output. Most recently I offered this class at Grossmont College in El Cajon, CA in conjunction with the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. It begins by making Polaroid Image Transfers and Emulsion Lifts with DayLab Printers and Copy System units. Students experiment with a variety of images and test the process. In classes in bygone years that would be the extent of our experiments. But now with scanners, printers, and most of all Photoshop these Polaroid materials can be enhanced, retouched, and enlarged, greatly expanding the artist’s expression. In this podcast we explore the Epson driver for scanning, discuss scanner settings and bring an Image transfer and Emulsion Lift into Photoshop for enhancement. We cover techniques for retouching; cleaning up borders, adding noise to enhance enlargement and adjustment layers to fine tune and correct our input. In our next episode we will explore some creative techniques combining these images with other sources and discuss output options. I hope you enjoy this episode. Creative Photoshop has now passed the 300,000 download plateau. I thank all of you who have been listeners. As always, I would love to hear from you with comments or suggestions.
