Episode Details

Can you believe it’s November already?  It seems like summer just started and now we’re heading back into winter…at least up here in the norther hemisphere.

First I’d like to give a plug to our Facebook  group called the  The Street Photography Community. It’s a small but mighty and very active group of highly motivated street photographers who are there to help each other in all areas of street photography.  Check it out by visiting http://talkstreetphotography.com then click the Join button.

I’ll be doing a good bit of traveling in the next several weeks, some of which will affect our publishing schedule.

Cuba and Traveling Light

I’ll be going to Cuba next week which is really exciting.  As a child of the Cold War, Cuba was always this mysterious place that was verboten for Americans.  Now that we’re able to go there (with several oddball restrictions) it seems like photographers are flocking to the place.  They say that it’s ideal place for street photographers full of friendly people, beautiful colors, and amazing light.

As with every trip I take, I’ve been stressing over what camera gear to bring.  I have this debate with myself before every trip.  Do I take an interchangeable lens body (In my case a Fuji XT-1) with several lenses.  Or do I stick with my trusty Fuji X100F with a fixed 35mm equivalent lens?  That way I have no decisions to make other than camera settings.

So I decided to go with  the fixed lens option and take only the X100F. I’ve done this on every other trip over the past several years and have never regretted it.  Plus I’m leaving my laptop at home and taking only an iPad to store and process my photos.  I’ve been trying to refine my remote workflow over the past year or so and this will really put it to the test.  Apple Photos for iOS has come a long way as an editing tool and its ability to integrate with 3rd party apps.  In my opinion Photos in iOS 12 is a big improvement.

November SPM Issue publish date 1 week early

We always publish the magazine on the 15th of each month.  However, because I’ll be away that day, without access to the Internet, we decided to publish the November issue on Thursday, November 8.  I like to be available shortly after publication in cas
