"Why?" with Tamara Lackey

5/6/2016

Welcome to "Why?"

I started this new feature to create something different beyond just sharing images from some of the most respected artists in photography today. A post is typically so one dimensional. Rather than just looking at an image and reading why a photographer captured it, created it or simply has it as a personal favorite, I wanted to share the back-stories in their own words with a sound-byte..

Originally I was only going to post one a week on Wednesdays, but I've had so many great artists want to participate that for the moment we'll post a new image each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

In this new episode, Tamara Lackey is sharing one of her favorites. Tamara's business profile is unique. Everyone seems to know her under a different expertise or passion she has for life. She's an artist, photo-journalist, writer, educator, a business owner and online TV host with her show reDefine. On the non-photo side she's a super Mom, wife and a great friend.

You can read more about her on her "About" page, but for now, just enjoy the back-story about one of Tamara's favorite images as she joins John Sexton, Tony Corbell, Scott Bourne and Joe McNally in another new episode of "Why?"

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017.
