Photography Chats on Twitter

Harlan Erskine and I hosted biweekly chats on Twitter using the hashtag #fotochat. We were lucky to have some really terrific guests (see below) and generated some wide-ranging and interesting discussion on topics from artistic originality to photo book publishing to getting gallery representation.
