Summary

Four More Years, Four More Years……… For those who do not know, FroKnowsPhoto launched on June 1st 2010 and June 1st marked the four year anniversary of the site.

Wow, I have never lasted in a job longer than a year let along four years at the same place. I owe so much to you guys out there you continue to support all of the content. I read your e mails, I see your comments and I truly appreciate all of the support.

I took some time during this weeks show to discuss the future and where I think things are going for me and the site. I answered questions about the last four years as well as read some of your favorite moments. Regardless of wether you have been a reader since day one or you just found the site this week, THANK YOU.

So here is a HUGE THANK YOU for your support and to the future where ever it takes FroKnowsPhoto.com.

In honor of the four year anniversary I am going to give you a code worth $5 OFF your order of $19 or more at Store.froknowsphoto.com. The code is "4years".
This sale will run until June 7th 2014. The code is good towards regularly priced items. So if you are trying to purchase a combo deal the code will not work.

I am giving Heidi control of 40 FREE thingies to randomly give away in orders. There will be a BlackRapid Strap or two, Lens Cloths, DVDs, Winter Hats, Mouse Pads and anything else she want's to give away randomly. Be sure to leave a comment in the comment section with why you should get one of those 40 random pieces of goodness.

Stephen hits us with his photo news as he has for almost a year at this point before we jump into a really interesting interview.

A few weeks back when I was in Israel I sat down with Mr. Benjamin Von Wong. His work is “tremendous”, thought out and full of quality and imagination. There are very few photographers out there who can think and see the world the way Von Wong does. I think you will glean some really important information from this interview.

Enjoy the show and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes and YouTube.

0:00.0	So I think people like the mobile idea, buddy. I think so too. I'm thinking we're going to have to pull off some mobile for all talks. Maybe I'm trying to talk with Creative Live about doing something there in Seattle when I get out there. So it would be before you needed to be back for the 12th. And we would open it up, but we would still do the charging thing. 15, 20 bucks. I haven't figured out exactly what it would be, but we do need to cover expenses that way. We definitely would
