Grant Brittain photography part 3 podcast. When one takes a photography class or seminar one hears the voice of the lecturer in their head long after. In fact every time I pick up a camera I hear professors, fellow photographers, and students telling the things. Things like watch your background, or is the kicker light correct and is your horizon straight. Well for the last 3 days I have heard Grant Brittain’s voice in my head. Because I have been editing the podcast we made together. And like other generous photographers, Grant’s voice will be in my head.

“you’ve got the God of skate photography”

I will miss hearing J. Grant Brittain talk about photography, creating a magazine, and the golden days of skateboarding. But we have these recordings to inspire our art and sometimes even make us laugh. And if you need more of Grant Brittain pick up one of his prints and put it in the place where you make your art. You can also go to his website or one of his shows.
