WOW ANOTHER WONDERFUL SHOW
Thanks guys
Another good show. Keep up the good work and enjoy your sleep Larry.
Great talk with Zack! I liked it very much.
Great show once again! Love the interview with Mr. Arias! You guys should do more in the future. Thanks!
Introducing the new casual (living room) discussion with a guest photographer is a wonderful compliment to the D-Town show. RC did an excellent job of interviewing resisting the urge to interrupt, just laying back letting Zach tell his story. A great story it was with an excellent lesson for each and every one of us.
Thank you.
Zack is the man…no doubt.
Zack’s interview was very interesting. Good Show.
Cool Episode
Hope they post it when your going to do more LIVE shows!
Always enjoy the shows!
Zack seems like a really nice guy! Alot of wisdom coming from him!
Great show.!
Thanks R.C. and Larry for another D-town episode!
Always enjoy listening to what Zack Arias has to say.
Good show.
Perhaps interviews should be left for The Grid and DTown saved for short tips for photographers. I like Zack Arias, but the format wasn’t what I have come to expect from DTown.
Hi guys, watching you in podcast over iTunes to not miss you …
Good Stuff!
Keep it up!!
Good show!
The Zack Arias interview addressed some issues I have with using models. Thanks to Zack (and RC, of course) for the perspective on the topic.
Great interview with Zack.
I want that FIND book! Pick me!
Enjoyed the interview with Zach, nice new feature for the show.
Just found you guys. Awesome show, zach is inspiring!
Interview was very interesting.
Hey guys! I usually watch the show from youtube or itunes…
Great show folks, and that book looks fantastic
Used some of Peter Hurleys tips yesterday, worked a treat, long live the Jaw Line!!
Good show! Please enter me for the book!
A star laden show today with Zack Arias, references to Jonathan Canlas and his book, and topped off with the connection to Peter Hurley’s work and philosophy. Like the new live format. Bring it on!
What a great episode! Loved the chat with RC and Zach. And I absolutely loved the term ‘character’. Sounds like a great approach to photographing strangers…
another great show of tips. Thanks!
First time watching. Interesting information and great content!
Hi Guys, Love the show, being in New Zealand I get to see it on Friday afternoon when I am struggling to make it to the end of the day. The other good thing is that it inspires me to get my gear out over the weekend. I recently read a book called Visionmongers by David DuCheim, anychance of getting him on the show?
Love the interview with Zach Arias. Great info.
Where are the Gear Tips with Brad Moore? We need more Brad-O!!
–John
Interesting interview. Thanks.
Enjoyed all but loved the bit with Arias
This is really cool that you guys are taking your time to share such VALUABLE info. Canlas’s book would be a nice addition to my reading collection
Love the Zach Arias segment… love it so much I’m thinking I need to start a personal project.
rc is the man
Great Show! I like it. Shoot what you know, charactors or squirrels or tress, for that matter. if you know it and love it you should be able to do it justice in an image.
Love Zach’s perspective..so true!!
Another informative show!!!!!
Keep it up
Nice perspective regarding trying to be a fashion photographer.
Awesome. Please, please, please incorporate more conversations with talented photographers and/or photography related guests in future episodes. I really enjoyed the talk with Zack. That casual format worked well for me.
Like the talk format.
Still wrapping my head around it.
Perhaps a 3rd show is where my head is going? The Grid for the talk show, DTown for “gear” and “15 Minutes of Famous” for the interview thing? I really enjoyed the format, and would love to see more of that. It also makes a nice evolution to DTown, though. Having watched (literally) every episode since inception (back when it was a Nikon show), I can see how it can be hard to keep coming up with new content, without it turning into a “this is new from them, that is new from those”. Really, how many times can you talk about lenses before it gets old? Light leaves the flash, maybe gets coloured, travels through the air, goes into a lens, scrambles about and lands on a recording medium. Everything else is the art.
Dunno. Awesome stuff. Still processing.
Just found your show! Love it!
Great show loved the Bag. Zack had a lot to say about how the media is pegion holing us by the area of the world we live in. So if you don’t live in the right town they will discard your Photo’s and your effforts to expand you skills. because you live in the wrong state or time zone.
Hey, great show with Zack, what time does the Kelbytv.com/onair comes on. I would like to know and watch the show. Thanks
I enjoyed the interview format — a nice break from the usual. And I have a soft spot for MF and LF film, so the book would be great (hint). Thanks!
Great Show!
Thanks for another awesome episode. The interview with Zack was great. Watched on KelbyTV by the way. Back to KelbyTraining now. Thanks everyone.
Squirrels!
Great advice from Zack.
Awesome dudes. Watching this on Itunes.
Great show with some great tips. The gear was certainly not one of Larry’s Cheap Shots!! The coffee talk with Zack was pretty neat give you that real feel of the business and it isn’t all gravy. The tip about the photo review being off is something I thought everyone did already. I guess because I was from a film background and never had that option is why I don’t have it on. I learned a long time ago to get it right in the viewfinder because you don’t get a redo. Keep them coming it’s always an adventure!! Thanks!
Always lern something…Thanks!
Great interview with Arias.
Great Show
great advice Zach
You’ve got to be in it to win it
! Awesome interview with Zach, guys!
Thanks for another good show!
Awesome show. Thanks again. Love Johnathan’s work too glad he is a fellow Utah photog!
cool show
Thanks for another fine episode
I enjoyed the interview.
After 107 comments for 107 shows, I have not won the give away, but I’m still trying.
Always enjoy your show. Keep it up.
Great episode! Great interview! Thanks so much for not screwing around!
great bag
Here I’m watching you from Spain, so I don’t mind if it’s “live” or recorded, but I love this short shows and they are really good…
You guys rock!
Hi.
I don’t normally comment, though I’ve been an avid follower of Kelby Media stuff for some time.
I just wanted to make a request to have more of the kind of thing that you did with Zack Arias on the show. A conversational interview where the guest photog is doing most of the talking and it’s more about their stories/background/approach rather that how do you deal with X problem or whether they agree with the interviewer’s opinion on an issue.
While I like a lot of your shows, this one really stood out for me. More of this please. Also, RC is an awesome interviewer!
nice show
Love the show
great show guys!
love zack!
Great show, nice bag, good interview, few tips
Always very cool to see Zack, thanks for a great show!
My thoughts are that this show is becoming boring. I have downloaded all 107 episodes but in future I will give it a miss…….
As always great show guys, great idea on the mini interview… Would love to see a section on the new Canon 1Dx
Love the talk with Zack. The new bag was really cool to.
Thanks for the Peter Hurley link.
This was great as always…
Great interview with Zach. No BS, no mindless “banter” – just great stuff! Thanks!
Thanks guys. I never miss a show. Thought the interview was a little drawn out – not too long but would have loved Zack to have covered a little more territory.
Loved the interview with Zach. Eye-opening!
You guys are awesome!
Man! Listening to Zack is really cool!!!
Live show! I’ll try to watch it next time.
Zack Arias’ interview was amazing.
Zack needs a new PR man he was
a mess,and please stop saying cool.
love the show thanks guys
excellent show, interview
Cool episode different but good.
Great show as always. Thanks for the Peter Hurley recommendation.
The sound volume is not as good.
“squirrels not girls” hahaha
Zach is always interesting and Peter is the “new” interesting.
Love your podcasts! I listen and watch at the gym on the bike.
Nice double show
Loved listening to Zack and RC hang out. Great rapport between the two of them and definitely an interesting topic for me, having just started shooting Model Mayhem models in the last few months. It’s a fun creative outlet and good practice but I’m under no illusion that it will ever get me any work.
As for the Film is Not Dead book – it’s actually on my wish list on Amazon!
I have an old Mamiya medium-format film camera that I’ve been using occasionally with both color and b&w film. The look is amazing and something that can’t be duplicated on 35mm or APS-C sensors.
My 6x9cm film back has more than 6 times the surface area of a standard “full-frame” 24x36mm (35mm) frame. The effect on depth of field and focal lengths is impressive to say the least!
Having no meter, autofocus, or any electronics, it definitely makes you slow down and consider everything about your shot; especially when you factor in the cost per shot (approx $2/frame)!
Dear DTown
It’s a pity that RC’s interview was with a bitter Zack Arias who had his nose put out of joint by a New York fashion agency, but did he really think that the rest of us should abandon model mayhem and give up on becoming better photographers or models?
Just because he failed does not give him the right to drag the rest of us down. Shame on DTown TV. Shame on RC. ‘’thank’s Zack for doing that’’…rc.
I hope model mayhem make a complaint to photoshop user magazine and turn up at photoshop world to knock the chip of his shoulder.

I love this show. Watch it every time!
Great interview,RC. Looking forward to more interviews of this type.
Wasn’t sure where the interview with Zack Arias was going, to begin with, but turned out to be the best thing I’ve seen for a long while!
Film is not Dead!
Liked the Interview concept! Film isn’t dead!
Always learning something new to help keep the crative juices going. Thanks
Great Show!
Love the show.
Just wanted to let all the landscape photographers here to know that if you want some clouds in your picture just wait till after the rain. A good time is when it rains over night and is sunny the next day.
The reason is because the moisture on the ground and in the air evaporates into the air and that what creates the clouds
Love you guys, but the sound was off (very low volume) compare to you other episodes – bummer.
Love D-Town TV. I get many helpful tips and advice.
Would love to have a segment explain polarizing filters.
Great show guys!
Good show guys! Great video from Peter Hurley!
Great show
Great show.
Great show, fellas. Really loved the sit-down segment with Zack Arias. It’s great to see you guys get out from behind the podium once in awhile, and the casual setting was refreshing. How about shooting at a cafe or bar sometime in the future?
As for the interview with Zack, that kind of insight from working photographers – not on technical stuff, but rather on their experience and insight into the art and industry on a higher level – adds depth and dimension to D-Town TV. It becomes a much more comprehensive online video magazine.
Well done.
I want that book sooooo bad!!
Good show. Enjoyed Zack.
Great show, Zack Arias always makes me think.
As usual, you guys hit a home run…..great show!
Enjoyed the sit down with Mr. Arias.. Thanks
cool episode
how about a tip shooting with neutral density filters… I always miss my focus. love the show
Zack was great, thanks!
I love the show.
Great show and discussion with Zack.
I watch regularly from iTunes.
First, pardon my bad english. But how do I know if im really bad photografher? I cant trust my friends and family to be truthfull? So how do I know if I suck for taking pictures? Im just hobbyist who love taking photos. but Id love to take good ones.
Wow. What a fantastic conversation! Seriously, Zack Arias has a face that I would like to capture. And I loved the Petrol bag too.
You guys Rock!
The interview with Zak was interesting. Wasn’t a big fan of the bag Larry found, but a show on bags would be interesting, What bag do you use, and why? Why didn’t you pick one of the alternatives?
Good show.
Love the conversation with Zack, it would be great to have more of these conversations.
Cheers
Phil
As always Great show. this one the format was nice
Great show guys. Loved the interview with Zack and I for one think RC should take his lead on the beard.
Hey guys, superb show as ever, how great is Zarias?
The guy is an inspiration, very excited to see him finally at Kelby.
Great show!
Nice interview guys, keep on going!
Another great show. Thanks for the all of the work.
Hey! Im watching you from few sources, itunes podcast, your web site http://kelbytv.com/dtowntv/2012/02/23/episode-107/
and with russian translation here http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2790536
Thanks for your work!
I want to see in the next episodes about shooting video on DSLR’s
Great show and really enjoyed the new interview format. Since you asked…I tend to download the podcast and watch it at some point during the week.
As far as topics go…I’d love to understand bracketing as I’d like to do some HDR in the near future.
Thanks again! Really enjoying kelbymedia!
The show rocks and I watch by subscribing from iTunes and syncing to my iPad.
Didn’t see that one coming from Zach.
Love the show!! I’ve got a questipn… In my home studio, I have a beginner set of lights. The main problem I have with them is the recycle time. just as soon as I take a shot, I see the perfect expression, so I shoot & one or more of the lights doesn’t flash. My question is: What is a good versatile light that won’t cost an arm & a leg?
Zack brought it to the point. More of interviews like that one.
A lot of us know, how to press the shutter (and make the pic), but like to go farther and develop ourself (like “do you suck?; photo-critic; etc.”).
Watch the show on the weekend after the show because of baaaad internet on the kelbytv website.
Graet show and great interview guys!
Thanks for the great shows you all are producing.
Great show as always. RC good to see you…
What a great interview with Zack – that man is so down to earth. Thanks RC.
Hi guys,
Really dug the conversation with Zack Arias. By all means, keep indulging your inner Larry King, RC.
Cheers,
Paul
Awesome show, Great tip “Character”
The interview with Zack was awesome and it really hit home. I’m one of those corp photogs that work for a large manufacturer and never thought for a second about creating a portfolio of the people. Oh yeah, I photograph people all the time but it’s never really about the person. It’s about what they are doing, the part, the product or a group that has achieved something. Starting tomorrow–I’ll start focusing (sorry abou the pun) on the people. Thanks!!
Very interesting conversation with Zach. Good work.
Loving the show guys!
Coming here first time. Nice show. Keep up the good job.
Thanks. I watch via iTunes
I enjoyed the new interview segment.
Great Show. Have fun with the live stuff, but please don’t discontinue the podcasts. It’s the only way to watch DTown down here in the subway system!
Great show
Nice show guys
Great show guys.
Zack nailed it. Thanks
Interesting interview with Arias. Wish there would have been some information about Jonathan Canlas’s Film Is Not Dead book, but maybe the giveaways don’t work that way. Thanks!
Helpful as always…
Hi Scott,I ordered thru Amazon the 2nd ulmvoe of your digital photography series. They asked me to do a review of it, so I did. It should be in the review section of Amazon.com. I look forward to also buying the 3rd ulmvoe. I take mostly pics at rock concerts (just saw for the 3rd time last Friday Deep Purple). It’s a sort of spefic kind of photography as we’re right under the stage and the lighting at these concerts changes really fast, throwing quite often out of whack a camera’s sensor (I have the new Nikon D300s and the D90). Was wondering what kind of tips you could give me for this type of photography.Ciao from Italy,Mario Rimati
Great show. Loved the interview with Zack Arias. Great advice, indeed.
I want more of this. The show was becoming a shopping network. I want more about the situations photographers get into.
Nice show guys keep up the good work. I did kelbytraining for three and image change . Pls can i get Adobephotoshop cs5 to edit my pictures,and how can i send my photos to you guy so that someone can tell me good or bad.
thanks
kazeem
Get some sleep Larry! Thanks guys.
Hello chaps, I always watch on the DTown website, here in fact.
About the show, I enjoyed seeing Zack Arias, as I’ve found him an interesting person when I’ve seen him talk, but I can’t agree about not trying to shoot ‘fashion’ if you are not in one of the handful of fashion centres of the World. Shoot what you enjoy, not everyone has the aim of becoming a Professional Photographer. And even if you do want to become a Fashion Photographer, how are you going to learn? You try to imitate before you can innovate.
I’m not a people photographer, but if I was I’d try everything to see what I liked.
The bag feature was a bit weird, here’s a bag that is also a tripod, but it’s not very good, and I wouldn’t use it. Why show it?
Hey, great show with Zack…
Great show guys. Thank very much
This show was just what I needed to see. The interview with Zack was gold. Thanks a bunch.
Great interview with Zack, he always makes sense!
More photog interviews like that D-Town.
I am back. great show
I love that interview with zack arias, can you guys do more interview like this. Thanks.
P.S. can i when the camera bag, just joking but it is a cool bag.
I would love to see more of the one on one interviews like what you did with Zack…. That was awesome.
To answer your initial question, I used to watch your shows via this website – until a couple of months ago. Now when I try to watch via my iPhone, nothing happens; it simply will not play. Very frustrating. So now I have to go over to YouTube to watch your show. Then I come back here to leave a comment. A bit of a hassle, but I can deal with it.
Loved the interview with Zack! More interviews with photogs would be great to see in the future.
Re Photoshop World, when it comes to beautiful Portland, OR or even Seattle, then I’ll be able to go.
Lastly, I’m definitely liking the longer shows so keep ‘em coming!
Cheers!
Great Interview with Zack!
Hey Zack!!!
Love the relaxed atmosphere. Learning a lot from these broadcasts. Thanks!
Loved the conversation segment.
Thanks, great show!
I like Hurley! He’s honest.
I have been watching DTOWN for a year now. I have used many of the tips in my photography. Two of my pictures taken over the year have made the cover on our local publication. Thanks again great sourse of information.
Zack’s words of wisdom were not encouraging. Great to hear, necessary — just not encouraging to emerging pros.
Hi Guys, I’m watching you since the very first episode. Started just to enhance my english by listeting to english content.
Now I’m a big fan of your show and every week keen to see your new episode.
Please don’t stop to create this show. You are always with me on my iPhone….
Cheers, peter

Zack is da man. flat out

Really great conversation with Zack! Thank you.
Great interview with Zack (always thought provoking) + awesome giveaway with the FIND book! Nicely done guys.
Is there a trick for getting a focus on a night sky for trying to capture northern lights or lightning?
Another great show! thanks guys!
dang.. best episode yet..
What an awesome segment with Zack, hopeing to see more of this type of segment.
I like the “Jaw Line” tip.
