While editing the last episode, I decided to split the conversation in two so that we wouldn’t end up with an episode far too long.
This episode is the second part of that conversation, and we discuss the good and the bad of hosting your own photoblog, as opposed using third-party services.
Also, if you have a few seconds, head on to our latest poll and help us figure out how the photography podcasting market has evolved since we started publishing.
Enjoy the show…

In our Urban Exploration (or UrbEx) discussion we covered a lot of material from the legality of it, some equipment suggestions, safety, and much more. If you are at all interested in the topic, you really need to listen to this one.
As we hinted (sort of) in the last episode, the main topic for today’s show is Urban Exploration. As usual, we got a couple of guests really familiar with this topic to help us in the discussion: Sean Galbraith, which was with us on #47, and Sam Scholes (or on flickr). Both Sean and Sam have extensive experience in Urban Exploration, with Sean co-staring on a TV series (PhotoXplorers) and Sam having several exhibits with his UrbEx photos (one coming soon).
Before this, we discussed the new re-design of Flickr, and the upgrade of the Flickr/Getty partnership (if you remember we had an initial discussion about this partnership on episode #21). While the general feeling is that this is good for photographers, the possibility that photo buyers will approach the photographer directly for a license instead of contacting Getty is very very small. What are your thoughts on this? Will you allow photo buyers to request a license through Getty (even at a loss of 80%)?
In our Urban Exploration (or UrbEx) discussion we covered a lot of material from the legality of it (since it usually involves entering into private property), to philosophy, some equipment suggestions, safety, and much more. If you are at all interested in the topic, you really need to listen to this one.
