Press Release Summary: Atherton, California- PodTech releases Photowalking above
Silicon Valley with professional photographer Marc Silber, its latest video, by
Robert Scoble, PodTech's VP of Media Development and originator of the series.



Press Release Body: Scoble said, "This is a different kind of photowalking than we
usually do. First.we have a real, professional photographer (he even has the license
plates to prove it). Second.we go for a nature walk up in the Long Ridge Open Space
Preserve above Silicon Valley. The photographer is Marc Silber, who also teaches
photography and has an
ebook on how to make better photographs"

Silber, in his fifth decade as a professional fine art photographer recently
released his ebook Taking Memorable Photographs which is available as a free
download along with Photowalking at www.silberstudios.com/blog

Silber's passion for photography is evident in this video and his ebook. But there
is another aspect to the story: Long Ridge Ranch, where the video was shot, was in
part gifted by the Silber family to the Midpeninsula Open Space District in the
70s-decades before "green" was to become the mantra. Silber was the ranch caretaker
and as he put it "I knew every tree, critter and pine cone on the entire 400 acre
ranch. We were so fortunate to be able to prevent the destruction of the vast open
space that we now enjoy."

Photowalking combines Silber's easy style and clear presentation with some down to
earth fundamentals of fine art photography. As an example, "Ansel Adams taught his
students to go out with a hole cut in a 3x5 card and simply look for images, with no
concern for complicated equipment." with a shot of Silber showing Scoble's camera to
look through the hole and thus learning to "frame" a photograph.

Since this edition of Photowalking's release, blogs have been popping up with
acclaim for the video, such as Lightening Mods: "Fellow professional photographer
Marc Silber makes environmental portraits, natural landscapes and abstracts and now
he takes us through a Photowalking journey above Silicon Valley where he talks about
his photography experiences, shares some of the most interesting aspects of
Landscape photography and also give some good tips for catching great Landscape
images."

Marc Silber is a fine art photographer, living on the San Francisco Peninsula with
his wife, children and retriever "Whitney" (named for the mountain, which they have
climbed.) He has a extensive catalog of black and white photographs as well as color
photographs taken around the world on his many adventures. He is passionate about
photography, loves to show his work and to teach photography. "Photography has
given me a way to continuously see life newly. I love the joy of a fresh image,
captured and shared with others-and I love to teach others how to take great shots."
