		<title>102 &#8211; Layering images with interesting elements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photography podcast #102 discusses layering your photographs with interesting elements.

		<title>99 &#8211; Controlling brightness in photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photography podcast #99 discusses how to control brightness in your images.

		<title>Backgrounds Matter Dammit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that separates newbie photographers from experienced photographers is the ability to see beyond the foreground or main subject. Most photographers that are starting out forget that 2 dimensional photos had multiple planes (foreground, midground and background) before the shutter release button was clicked. This is especially true of street photography. Thoughton, [...]]]></description>
