- CK Interviews Artist / Photographer Katie Cooke
What a pleasure it was to interview this Edinburgh, Scotland artist, Katie Cooke. If you enjoy the art of pinhole photography, then I'm sure you will find much to like when you see Katie's photos on her Slowlight blog. I find her to be one of those rare modern day renaissance artists, who are multi-talented. She mixes and creates art in photography, book making, writing, graphic design... I also found that using the iChat software for this interview process proved to work well. It enabled us to talk quickly in mostly in words and pictures. Katie's kindness and willingness to finish the interview made the process even better. Thank you Katie and I wish you all the best, wherever your artistic journey takes you!

- CK Now Selling Custom Made MintyCams
I never thought I'd be using my site to sell things, but after getting a number of emails from people all over the world, I decided now might be the best time to start. For those people who want to get involved in mintycam pinhole photography, but don't necessarily want to take the time and effort to make their own, this is a great alternative. Even though I enjoy making cameras, I still needed to come up with a price that would cover my material costs as well as shipping. And for those who want their cameras personalized, I will be spray painting (with stencils) the customer's initials on the back of the tin. See link for more information.

- CK Interviews Photographer Nicolai Morrisson
I too was interested in finding out more about this talented photographer. So I came up with my own questions for Nick to answer. I soon would discover that Nick had all sorts of creative skills which would explain the amazing work I saw on Flickr. I like his online interview idea so much, I decided to keep that creative volley going on in my site. So the birth of Shop talk was created. Currently I have two photographers scheduled for interviews, so please check back. I will post those interviews in this feed when they come online.

- Photographer Nicolai Morrisson Interviews Chris Keeney
Nick and I met a while back on Flickr and soon found ourselves interested in each others work. Nick, being the innovator he is, asked me if I would be interested in doing an online interview with him. "Why not," I thought and soon found myself reaching deep to answer Nick's very well craft questions. You can now read that interview in Nicolai's Photon Detector blog.

- CK Launches A New Series Of Online Interviews With Creatives
Seeing someone's creative work can certainly be inspiring, but when you have a chance to "get inside their head", that's a whole different story. I will be asking selected artists questions that will give the reader a better understanding of their creative process. Hopefully thse conversations will inspires other to create their own magic and in return, inspire others to do the same.
