This week you’re going join me on my Snow Monkey Photography Tour and Workshop, from Jan 28th to Jan 30, 2010, as I discuss the trip along with looking at some of my images.
Prefer to listen? There’s an audio player at the bottom of the post.
This year was the first time I added the option to join me for a three day tour to photograph the Snow Monkeys in Nagano Prefecture, before we headed off to Hokkaido. Ten of the 12 people that had signed up for Hokkaido chose to join me for the Snow Monkey leg, and two more people that live locally had signed up just for the Snow Monkey trip, so we maintained our fully booked status and headed off to Nagano on a chartered bus, on the morning of January 28th. It took us the scheduled 4 hours to get over to Nagano, and we stopped [...]

David Burren
I’ve teamed up with professional Australian nature photographer David Burren to host a photography expedition to South Georgia and Antarctica from November 8th to 26th this year.
Today it gives me great pleasure to welcome David to the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast to answer questions on the expedition.
Note that David and I aiming to take a group of around 20 people. We’re already getting people signing up, and places are limited, so if you want to come, you’ll need to book SOON. The booking form is available at antarctica2010.com. Once we are fully booked, there will be a wait-list.

Today we take a look at the results of the January MBP/WebSpy Photography Assignment, on the theme of Square Crop.
Prefer to listen? There’s an audio player at the bottom of the post.
The Square Crop assignment was much more difficult than I had imagined it would be to come up with something compelling, but many of you rose to the occasion, and as usual, posted some incredible images. Let’s look at the three images that amassed the most votes from their peers, as usual, in reverse order.
In third place, we have Super Digital Girl, real name Leslie, with a superb photograph, “Ballerina” (below). Leslie sent me a little information on this photograph, as follows:
This past year I have been working on more documentary style photography so I decided to take a workshop in Connecticut with Elizabeth Opalenik to get in touch with my creative side again. The focus of the workshop [...]

A friend recently forwarded me a link to a great post on his blog about balancing multiple passions. As many of you know, I have a busy full time job in Tokyo, outside of photography, and do a pretty good job of balancing the “day-job” with my photography related activities. It ain’t easy, and I touch on this below, but basically, I really enjoyed the article, and sent some comments to my friend about what he’d written.
First, you’ll probably want to read the article, Managing multiple passions- make most of your hidden talents, by Anuj Magazine, and then come back here and read my comments on the article, with some advice of my own on this subject.
And here are my comments:
I read your blog post with great interest. You write very well, and although I intended to scan over it, I ended up reading it fully.
I thought the [...]

Finding time for photography can be tough when you have a day job. In this Podcast episode I talk about how I manage my time using theory learned in business.
This Podcast was originally released on the 14th of May, 2007.
Prefer to listen? There’s an audio player at the bottom of the post.
First, in the audio, you’ll here a message from a listener, Chris. This Podcast episode was my answer to Chris…
I have to say before we start that what I’m about to talk about is the things I bear in mind, from my own experiences and things I’ve learned in business over the years. Some things might work for you, and some might not. Take the advice that you think will help, and throw out the stuff that doesn’t click. Basically though, I have a day job that keeps me really busy here in the heart of Tokyo, and I [...]
