Hey, Rosh -
I just wanted to let you know that your LinkedIn link over on the New Media Photographer site is incorrect – it points to the “my profile” link, which means if I click on it, I get my own page.
I would have said something over on NMP, but had a heck of a time finding a place where I actually could drop you a message that was out of the blue like this. I would use LinkedIn, but I’m not ready to upgrade my account just yet. (I’m at http://www.linkedin.com/in/primalrhythms, btw – I’d welcome the connection if you care to add me.)
I found you first as I discovered Prosperous Artists in my initial foray into the world of podcasts, and later added NMP, and then today you personal podcast… As a photographer who’s trying to escape a career as a software developer, I am both inspired and informed by the content you provide.
Respectfully,
Randy
