It's December 18th, 2011, and this is The Candid Frame. Like many of you, I view tens of thousands of photographs on a computer screen.

But whenever I have the opportunity to see a finely crafted print displayed on a gallery wall,

the experience changes.

Because when you experience an image on paper, it demands that I linger and observe it in a way that doesn't usually happen

when I'm speeding through images as quickly as I can click on a mouse.

This week I had the opportunity to attend a preview of the next exhibit at the Annenberg Space

for Photography in Los Angeles, where the news show Digital Darkroom is scheduled to open.

It was there that I had the opportunity to interview today's guest and the guest curator for the show, Russell Brown,

who is also known as the senior creative director at Adobe Systems.

The exhibit, which includes work from Jerry Ullsman, Maggie Taylor, Joel Grimes, and others,

is more than just an exhibit of what's possible with modern or even traditional technology.

But what's really possible when imagination, passion, and hard work come together to create vision.

If you're in Los Angeles through May, I highly recommend you attend the show.

But even if you can't, I hope you'll enjoy our conversation with Russell Brown.

Russell, welcome to the Candid Frame.

I'm here at the Annaberg space for photography.

And I've just seen an amazing exhibit that you just curated.

And why don't you tell our listeners who haven't had the opportunity to see it yet what the show is about?

So you're right.

This is an amazing show.

This show is like looking into my brain.

That's pretty scary.
