I just got back from nearly two weeks in British Columbia, Canada. I spent two weekends in Victoria, five days on Salt Spring Island, and a lot of time at the new, beautiful Lúz Gallery, a contemporary fine art photography gallery just now celebrating it’s one year anniversary. While I was there, I spoke with a number of wonderful photographers along with the two owners of the gallery, Diana Millar and Quinton Gordon. On the last day of my visit, I sat down with Quinton to talk about the what he and Diana hope for the gallery, their preferences for artist submissions, how they select artists, and about their passion for educating, viewing, and promoting fine art photography.

I thought, when I completed the interview, how wonderful it would be to start a Photo Radio series of interviews with other artists, curators, gallerists, educators, and collectors. I hope these will be as beneficial to you as I’m anticipating they will be to me. If you have any suggestions for interviewees, please feel free to let me know. My plan is to do at least one a month. Of course you will be able to find all of the interviews on this blog, but I have also created a separate one, just for this series. You can find that at www.photoradioblog.com.
Thanks for listening!
