With each new episode of "Why?" we're not only seeing some incredibly beautiful images, but learning a little about each artist. We look at hundreds of images every day, but we rarely hear the backstories. This new episode has a story so many of us can relate to.

David Akoubian is in the "Why?" spotlight today. He's a Tamron Image Master as well as an educator, artist and writer. Just click on David's image to visit his website and enjoy the images in his galleries. And, if you're interested in an outstanding workshop, it's just a click away. David has his "Spring in the Smokies Workshop" coming up in early May.

At the end of the podcast David and I talked a little about Tamron's workshops around the country. Just click on the thumbnail to the right for more information on all of their local and nationwide events.

I love how this image drives forward the emotion that you described in watching the stars. It portrays that longing as well as a sense of calm serenity. It is interesting about how therapeutic photography can be for anyone. This image is really powerful. Not because it is taken with the correct exposure settings and composition, but because of the heart and emotion that is poured into the shot. Thank you for sharing!
