For the past 12 years, I have brought you conversations with great photographers. From legends to

lesser known photographers, it's always been my goal to introduce you to people who not only produce

great work, but who are also inspirations. Over the past few months, as I've met many of you,

you have shared how much the show has meant to you.

I'm not only flattered by that, but it has encouraged me to produce more conversations for many years to come.

Your financial support has also been invaluable.

It has allowed us to create the free Candid Frame app and the new Alexa skill.

It has also helped us to invest in microphones, recording devices, and software that's helped

us to improve the sound quality of the show and improve the website.

It's also helped us to travel, to meet photographers in person, to conduct interviews face to face, which

provides a wonderful dynamic to our conversations. If you love what we're doing here, and it's

making a difference in your photographic life, I encourage you to donate today. You can support

the work we do here by contributing as little as $2 a month to our Patreon campaign.

That modest donation helps us to bring a quality show to you every week.

Contribute today by visiting patreon.com forward slash the candid frame.

I've known Rick Salmon for years now, including serving as his editor when I worked for outdoor photographer and digital photo pro magazines.

I've always appreciated the enthusiasm and the passion that he brings to both photography and photo education.

Whether it's through his books, magazine articles, and workshops, he has encouraged countless people to pursue their passion for photography.

In his latest book, the Route 66 photo road trip, he created a little something different.

Along with his wife Susan, they produced a book that explores the richness of America's Route 66.

The book provides valuable information for those who love combining a road trip with photography.
