"How to Take Great Pictures with Smartphones and Apps"

What do you use to take pictures of your kids, your friends, your family, your vacation destinations? It's all but surely a digital camera of some kind --- and it might well be a "personal device" such as an iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Windows phone, or Blackberry. Photography --- like everything else nowadays connected with technology --- ain't what it used to be.... Our guest on ST is the British photographer Adam Bronkhorst, whose written several books on taking pictures, including the recently-published "SnApp Shots: How to Take Great Pictures with Smartphones and Apps" (Chronicle Books). It's an accessible guidebook, intended for both beginning and veteran shutterbugs, that sorts through the multitude of photography apps, demonstrating and clarifying the many different effects made possible by such apps. It's a how-to photography text for the twenty-first century, so to speak.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
