Storm Chasing with Eric Meola

This podcast was recorded on Tuesday May 22th, 2007 in New York City. Eric sits down with George to have a conversation about his photography, his passion for color, and how he approaches the challenge of making authentic photographs when working in indigenous cultures.    This "video" podcast includes photographs by Eric Meola. It can be viewed by downloading it directly into iTunes (if you are accessing it by subscribing via the Music Store), or by copying it into iTunes on either a Mac or a PC (if you've downloaded it from my iDisk). Once copied into iTunes, it can be transferred to a Video iPod, and viewed that way as well.     (Note that if you do download from the iDisk, and NOT through an iTunes subscription, when viewing it on an iPod, you will access the video from the top-level Video menu (then "Movies" or "Video Podcasts".... depending upon how you downloaded it), and NOT from the top-level Music menu. If you can even find it under the Music menu, you will not see the photographs.)     Finally, it's possible that only the audio track will be heard on devices other than Apple Video iPods, and the photographs will not be seen.     The views and opinions of the participants in this podcast are their own, and do not reflect or represent those of Adobe Systems.
