Life Between the Poles
Welcome to Life Between the Poles. This is a podcast about Photography and my obsessive hyper focused observations of humanity and how it intersects in my life. I'm a retired photojournalist and commercial photographer spanning 35 years but I do continue to shoot personal work with multiple digital and analog cameras. With this podcast their will be content that has nothing to do with photography but has every thing to do with how I interpret daily life around me. This podcast also has nothing to do with football goal posts but does deal with the glass half full and the glass half empty and everything in between. Thank You for listening!

Street Photography Defined
I've been doing some but learning more about the craft of Street Photography by reading books and watching YouTube documentaries on various photographers old and new about their methods for moving through the public space capturing humanity. It seems to me that Street photography is defined with a very wide brush but primarily means candid. What is now called street photography sometimes has nothing to do with the human condition but more of a graphic illustrative art form. It's with this knowledge that I am trying to figure out if I want to attempt this and what do I want to say in reference to the images.
Thank you for listening and help me grow this channel. Have a great day. Many of the photographs I talk about here are on Facebook: Brad Armstrong the Avatar picture is my wife and I with Smokey the Bear, Instagram @ shade_image / commercial and editorial portraits Instagram @ barmst360
