157: Jon Whitaker - Music vs. Landscape Photography: Compare and Contrast

Welcome to episode 157 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.  I am sure you noticed some different intro music this week. That is because it is the music of this week's guest, Jon Whitaker.  Jon is a professor of music at the University of Alabama and a great photographer. This week we did a deep dive comparing and contrasting music and photography, both from a learners and a teacher's perspective. We also discussed some parallels in the music world as it relates to popular music and popular styles of landscape photography.  Over on Patreon this week, we talk all about the concept of finding your voice and what Jon has learned about it in the music world and how it might apply to your photography world. Please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon! There's a ton of bonus content over there for subscribers!  Here are the photographers Jon recommended for the podcast:1. Phil Sisto.  2. Alyn Wallace. 3. Todd Rosenberg.
