Monday's Show

Sunday's El Paso Times Opinion page had a cartoon by Nacho Garcia depicting three victims of the culture of exposure; Helen Thomas, General McCrystal, Representative Susie Byrd. (See bottom of blog post).

On the Monday edition of "The Lisa D Show" we'll talk about the culture of exposure, how it can ruin a career in 13 seconds and how you can protect yourself/your job in the age of the 24 hour news/information cycle. Below are some good sources to browse before we open the phone lines and we'll kick off the show with an interview with Monday news analysis with Chris Babcock. Call the show from noon-1 p.m. and we'll discuss this topic and more, 915-880-4376.

Info: I'm Doing El Paso sets out to prove wrong one old adage about the Sun City. There's plenty to do here and we've got proof. We at IDEP are a group of young professionals who believe that people who say there's nothing to do around here are either not opening their mind or have their eyes closed. From Monday happy hour drinks with co-workers and friends to concerts and plays on the weekends -- ELP days are filled with places to go and people to meet. We are old pros at happy hours and special events, and we want you to be too.
After all, this is what makes El Paso one of the coolest places in the world.

6.17.10: Today's Show

Today on "The Lisa D Show" at noon we will talk to the minds behind KOI productions, Bianca Cervantes, Creative Director. Tune into the show at KHRO 1150 AM or stream the show at www.talkradio1150.com.

Info: As with real life scenarios, in photography and film, we're careful when we choose our surroundings.
Autofocus doesn't always work in dark moments, forcing me to manually to see the light.
Fast shutters are good for immediate gratification, but a slower pace reveals much more.
Flashes and strobes are good for professional glamour, but nothing beats sunset lighting to expose beauty in it's most natural form.
Creative, modern art can flourish with choppin and screwing. But it takes a gifted eye to engage a viewer with the raw truth of an unedited shot.
Our first camera was a Rebel.
As are we.
