0:00.0	This is Abadi an X and welcome to another episode of the Candid Frame.
0:20.3	One of the things that I really love about photography is the opportunity it provides me to not only make photographs that reveal my world to others, but that allow me to catch glimpses of people and cultures and places that I'll never have the opportunity to explore for myself.
0:39.4	And that's one of the underlying powerful things about photography that often gets lost.
0:45.2	It's easy to get preoccupied with what the latest piece of kit is going to be released soon or
0:50.9	some technique using Photoshop or something along those lines.
0:55.5	And the power of photography lies in its ability in a single photograph to reveal to each
1:02.2	other what our lives are like, how we see the world differently.
1:06.5	And it's one of the things that I love most about photography.
1:10.0	And it always impresses me
1:11.9	when I have an opportunity to talk to someone who really gets that.
1:15.6	And today's guest, Colby Brown, is one of those photographers.
1:19.5	He's a travel photographer, but he's also a humanitarian, and he uses the camera to not
1:24.6	only make beautiful photographs of some incredible landscapes, but he also uses
1:29.7	his cameras to serve the lives of other people. And he encourages you to do that yourselves.
1:35.7	So regardless of where you are in the world or your skills as a photographer, he impresses
1:40.6	on each of us that we have something to bring to the table as photographers
1:45.2	and as artists.
1:46.1	And I hope that this conversation really helps to inspire you to think more beyond what
1:51.1	your next piece of camera equipment is going to be in 2013 and to think out how you can
1:56.4	contribute to the greater community of photographers and people not only in your community, but around
2:02.0	the world. So I hope you enjoy our conversation with Colby Brown.
2:11.2	This episode of The Candid Frame is sponsored by Adobe Lightroom 4. Perfect your photography
