1. Fill the hangout with fun photographers.
2. See what happens!

Frederick Van Johnson, Jared Polen (FroKnowsPhoto), Varina Patel, and Jay Patel join me to discuss their current photo projects and show us some of their work. Good stories and fun times! Also, since there seemed to be a lot of questions around my Aurora Australis photos, I did a Live how-to during the show. We finish the show sharing our G+ Photographer Discoveries: Ian Thomas, Adam Lerner, Brent Schnarr, and Michael Bonocore.

Thanks to Leo Laporte, Tony Wang, Keith Barrett, and Dave Veffer for helping out with the whole production!
