It's January 28th, 2008, and this of The Candid Frame.

Today's guest is Tony Dazzino.

He's a photographer and a friend of mine that I originally met a couple of years ago

at the Jay Maisel workshop in Santa Fe.

And we crossed past again when I started teaching at the Art Center College of Design.

And from the conversations I've had with Tony and a couple of other photographers there,

I knew just by the sort of sympathetic nature of our conversations that he would be an ideal

guest for the show, and he doesn't disappoint.

My only lament about it is that this interview could probably have gone on for two hours

because as soon as the recorder was off, there was just some fantastic conversation that I wish could have got it in this podcast,

but after about 40 minutes, I knew I had to cut it off at some point. So more than likely,

you'll be hearing from Tony again, entertaining the idea of doing an episode this year

with more than one photographer getting maybe two or three

to sort of sit down and a round table and sort of discuss things.

But that's going to involve a little more technical savvy than I'm capable of right now,

but something to aspire to.

But back to Tony.

And I think what's really interesting about Tony, he's known

a lot for covering

sports. Lamont's racing,

extreme sports,

mountaineering, the whole plethora of things, and you'll find out more
