Ben was recently a guest on Derrick Story’s The Digital Story podcast, talking about The Practicing Photographer and the overall concept of practicing. The episode, “Ben Long Says a Photo Practice Might Not Be What You Think,”
Photographer/Writer Ben Long joins the show this week to explain his ideas on how to grow as a photographer, as outlined in his new book, The Practicing Photographer. In the interview, I ask him how practice can be fun. He tells me I have it all wrong. And off we go! I’m pretty sure this is a half hour that you’re going to enjoy.
We’ve been friends with Derrick for decades; he’s a great photographer, podcaster and educator in his own right, and his questions about the book are insightful and fun.
About 30 years ago, I purchased a painting from a then 24 year old young artist Ben Long from Ber’ei Kibbutz, Israel who came to my door in Kingston, Ontario Canada. Would this be the writer photographer Ben Long?
The artwork was called ‘Dreams’.
Sorry for the delay, but no, this is not the same Ben Long.
