Question: How do you record 500 podcasts?

Answer: One at a time, for years and years!

This week we celebrated Brooks' 500th podcast with a LensWork staff party. It's too late for you to enjoy the cheesecake — which disappeared fast — but you can listen to the 500th podcast, or any of the 499 that preceded it, here.

And to avoid missing any of the next 500, sign up for our podcast RSS feed, or for the free subscription via iTunes.

We are announcing a new folio by David Grant Best, Mountains of My Desire.

Enchantment with mountains has been a life-long passion for David Grant Best. So, too, has photography. Not surprisingly, combining these two pursuits has allowed David to produce a stunning body of photographic work in the high mountains that breathes the thin air, light, and inspiration of the lofty peaks he has scaled. Ten of David’s best images from his decades-long love affair with the Pacific Northwest Cascades, the Canadian Rockies, and the California Sierras.

We just posted a sneak preview of the contents for both LensWork #81 and LensWork Extended #81 on computer DVD — you can download the Current Issue Preview (7.7 mb) from our website.

Both editions feature portfolios by James P. Bourret, Mark J. Davis, and new work by LensWork alums Cole Thompson and Josef Hoflehner. Thompson's unique viewpoint is also highlighted in another LensWork Extended portfolio, as well as the stunning color work of Camille Seaman and a surprising color project from James P. Bourret.
