Derrick Story and Scott Bourne teamed up to teach Aperture classes at Macworld 2007, and I had a chance to meet Derrick there. He is a super nice guy and a well respected digital photographer. Derrick also appears on the iLifeZone (now hosted on Podango) , but I had never listened to his The Digital Story podcast on digital photography, music, video, etc. As with many podcasts produced by people whose first ability is not broadcasting but expertise in niche markets, Derrick’s delivery is folksy and pragmatic. He really knows his stuff and THAT makes up for any lack of broadcast polish. (I am not suggesting that he is not great to listen to, just that you will notice a difference between a Derrick Storey and a Leo Laporte, who has a rich broadcasting background.)

The thing I like is that he really truly teaches. He gives assignments and has his audience submit work for critique and coaching.
If you are a digital creativity enthusiast like I am you will get your time’s woth from Derrick.
Go to The Digital Story site. Download and listen to the latest edition of his podcast (22 min.).

Learn! Enjoy!
