So I have an idea that I would like to get your feedback on and one of the things that I'm considering adding into the show is some kind of regular photography assignment.

And this could be something that we could do maybe once a month or once every two weeks or

maybe once a week I don't know what that schedule would look like but you know a

lot of times when I prepare the shows that I do there's a topic or something I

discuss and people have questions on that but we sort of move on to

other things and I think that might help address some of that continuity and also some of the problems

and questions that people have with things and so I'm curious to know

whether you guys would find this useful or not. You know we talk about a lot of

things on the show and last week I used the term creating meaningful work and a lot

of people surprisingly didn't know what I meant by that.

Creating meaningful work means pushing yourself to create something that means something,

whether that's to you or whether that's in a greater context and you're not going to create a masterpiece every time but

pushing yourself to do that will improve your work as a photographer. You need to do

something that means something and so I think that this would be something that could address that in some

ways. So the way it would work is we could talk about a technique or a concept or

something and then there would be some kind of assignment-based form so that you as a

photographer could put that into practice. I think this would be beneficial to

people who watch the show, it'd be beneficial to me certainly because I could

participate and when I prepare these and I think this could be something that could be

be something that could be really interesting.

About a year and a half, two years ago I did something similar and we were doing

these photo challenges that would result in book giveaways and
