Lots of good topics tonight including an update on +Jan Kabili and +Ron Clifford’s new Photoshop Hangout show. Thoughts on this week’s new Lightbox updates. An inspiring sunset post by +Scott Jarvie. An update on the upcoming Los Angeles Photowalk on Sunday with +Trey Ratcliff and +Tom Anderson which will probably be the biggerst G+ photowalk we’ve seen thus far. I had coffee with Trey, Tom and +Lytro’s+Eric Cheng this morning where we got to see the new Lytro camera live in action and much more. Don’t miss this great show tonight.
Ivan gives all of the background on how this great book came into being and also shares with us some of his own work from here in the United States and also his home country of the Soviet Union.
In addition to Ivan’s work and the Plus One Collection book, show topics include, Exposed, The G+ Photography Journal, Tom Anderson’s HDR work in Hawaii, the hot new photo bookmarking site Pinterest, and Google’s advertisement at the Grammy’s about using Google as a backup for your cellphone photos.
I took this photo at a wedding that I shot a while back with my good Pal Ivan Makarov. Ivan is our special guest tonight on Photo Talk Plus. In addition to talking about the latest Plus One Collection book that he’s spearheaded, he’s also going to be sharing a lot about his own work and techniques on the show.
Join my cohost Lotus Carroll along with this week’s panelists Google’s Ricardo Lagos, Kerry Murphy, Nick Gatens, and Keith Barrett, as we talk with Ivan about the upcoming book and his own work as well as discuss some of the biggest Google+ Photography stories of the past week.
Trey Ratcliff also makes a surprise visit in the second half of the broadcast.
In this episode we talk about the New Nikon D800 and the new Canon 24-70 L Series lens, the winner of Chrysta Rae’s Scavenger hunt Kimberly Pemberton, an update on Carlos Miller’s arrest (including the video he was able to recover that the Miami PD allegedly deleted), and we talk about sensor cleaning techniques.

Lotus Carroll and I had a fantastic time interviewing Carlos Miller of the famed Photography is Not a Crime blog for Episode 9 of Photo Talk Plus. Interestingly enough Carlos had just been arrested 24 hours earlier for photographing an Occupy Miami protest. This was Carlos’ third arrest for his photography (he beat the rap on the first two). Carlos has championed photographers rights since starting his blog which covers all sorts of photographer rights issues online.
In our interview with Carlos, he talks about the arrest and the fact that the police deleted his video footage of his arrest after arresting him. Unfortunately for the Miami PD, Carlos was able to retrieve the video footage that was deleted. (see below). In the recovered footage it clearly shows that there were other individuals filming the police activity and what appears to be Carlos’ being singled out for an arrest simply for participating in his Constitutionally protected 1st Amendment right to videotape the police.

I thought today would be a good day to post a photo of New York City. I took this photo in the dead of winter while it was raining/snowing in Central Park.
