Photography Television is Here
- November 6th, 2008
In my book, I dreamed about a 24 hour cable TV show dedicated to photography.
Then, when fantastic resources like Photography Mentor and The B School came along, I was convinced my vision was happening sooner than I thought. On the heals of individual efforts like the Simple Photo Minute in the early days of video podcasting (as well as the more updated and upcoming AskDane.com), these pioneers have begun to create mass amounts of content to really drive where we’re headed.
Now it’s looking like another significant player has arrived with the announcement of The Photography Network.
Led by industry icons, Denis Reggie, Bambi Cantrell and Joe Buissink, this is sure to make a dramatic addition to the learning landscape. I was excited, humbled and a little surprised to be included in their promotional video (click The Concept in the lower left when you go to the site) but am really glad to be seen as someone playing a part in the leading of our incredible industry. And as Seth Godin says, lead we must!
These are extraordinary times to be a photographer and gaining access to the best and brightest will really help to raise the stakes for all of us.
Super stoked!

This is so awesome! When I was younger there used to be a show sponsored by Canon where the photographer would go out and about and shoot nature stuff. I don’t remember what channel it was on or who the photographer was but I always tried to tape it. I maybe saw like 5 episodes but it was enjoyable. This new network sounds so awesome. I will definitely check it out.

I just have to say that Dane Sanders is the one of the amazing writer, photographer, teacher and now a full fledged star. I can’t wait for this to take off and see Dane and this industry go up another level; I am so proud and blessed to be a small part of this.
