Lately I've been thinking about where we are on our photographic journeys, and wondering if we ever really come out of beta. They say it takes 10,000 hours to really master something, but does that mean that you have to hide in a closet until you've done your time?...
This week we talk about the idea of creating an introduction video for your web site and services, as well as some thoughts on time management mistakes that I sometimes make. Also, some exciting news about a new education platform called The Arcanum, which I've just...
OK, so just a quick episode this week, because things have gone a bit pear-shaped with my Web site and I don't have the time to do a full episode. I am in the middle of switching Wordpress themes, and despite some initial testing, there are some gaping issues and I'm...
Today we follow up on the portrait shoot that I did at the end of March, with an episode on how I fulfilled the first print order, including creating various print sizes on roll paper, and we'll also touch on trimming and decurling the prints, and a little reflection...
Now into 2014, I thought I'd carry on my tradition of selecting my favorite ten photos from the previous year, and I found the process so difficult this year, that this is what we'll discuss today, as I believe this is something that we can all learn from, especially...

I touched on this in another Podcast episode a few months ago, but today I wanted to take a little more time to reflect on how I'm finding it necessary to be a bit of a Jack of All Trades! Of course, to succeed, we need to master (or at least strive to master) some...
It's just coming up to three years since I incorporated Martin Bailey Photography K.K. so today I update you on how things are going, what adjustments I've made to my business model, how things are shaping up, and a little bit about how I see us proceeding over the...
Today I discuss the topic of influence and affinity, with regards to who influences me, who I feel I have an affinity with, and how I feel these things fit into our photography. This is in response to a suggestion from long-time listener Morton Goldberg. First let me...
