Summary

Tony Di Zinno is a photographer whose assignments have led him to six continents in over 58 countries. Easily at home on Hollywood's studio back lots and on the foothills of the Himalaya, this self proclaimed 'photo-sherpa' has made his bones on propaganda by producing iconic images for Nike, Adidas and The North Face among others. Now as a faculty member at the Art Center College of Design, near Los Angeles, CA (his alma mater, PHO 89), Tony teaches various hybrid classes multi-discipline in nature. Tony was invited on the board of Mountain to Mountain, a non-profit foundation working on projects in Central Asia, (Pakistan and Afghanistan). Previously, he had worked with M2M curating for a traveling photo exhibit called the 'Views of the Himalaya' benefiting a village in Nepal. The focus is on the education of young journalists in Kabul (video, radio and photo) with an emphasis on young women in the roles previously prohibited by Taliban extremists. He will soon be returning to that country as part of his work with M2M. www.thecandidframe.com thecandidframe@gmail.com

0:00.0	This is a body an X, and this is the candid frame.
0:19.1	As I mentioned earlier in the year, we continue to make changes to the show, and now they
0:24.5	include expanded content at the Candidframe.com website.
0:28.9	As of this past week, we are planning to include product reviews, commentary tips, and even
0:34.4	video tutorials.
0:36.1	The latter takes the form of YouTube videos, which though they
0:38.7	will not be available as part of the podcast feed, will be viewable on the website or by
0:43.8	subscribing to the YouTube channel. I'm also hoping to tap into the talent of photographers who
0:50.0	have already joined in the Candid Frame Flickr group. It's always been my hope to engage the many talented photographers who listen to the show.
0:57.9	Though I'm not able to interview all of them on the show, I'm nevertheless hoping to find
1:02.4	opportunities for each of us to communicate and share our mutual passion for photography.
1:08.7	So check it out and let me know what you think by visiting
1:11.7	thecandidframe.com. Now, the topics of risk and fear have launched many conversations with my
1:21.1	friend and today's guest, Tony DeZeno, who makes his second appearance on the show.
1:26.6	Though his passion for photography finds him speeding along in fast cars and hanging by his
1:31.6	fingertips off the side of a mountain, two places you are not likely to find me.
1:36.9	We both have a shared mutual respect for each other, both as artists and as people.
1:43.7	His work in Afghanistan has given me another reason to appreciate and respect his path as an artist.
1:51.0	And as he prepares to return again to that country, still rife with war and conflict,
1:56.0	I thought it would be a good time to sit down and reconnect.
2:11.2	Music on, it would be a good time to sit down and reconnect. Hey, Tony.
2:13.1	Good to sit down and talk with you again.
