QT Luong’s Talk at Google

I mentioned in a previous post that attending Talks at Google was one of my favorite perks of working there, and that I was disappointed that I’d had to miss QT Luong’s talk “Treasured Lands: A Photographic Odyssey Through America’s National Parks”. It finally appeared on YouTube, so I sat down to watch it today. The talk was very enjoyable; his photos are amazing, and he talked a bit about his process and equipment as well. Having bought his book (which, if you’re interested in the National Parks and/or nature photography, you should definitely buy; it’s a steal at $45 on Amazon), I also found it interesting to hear a bit about the history behind it and how he worked to get it published. With the warm weather this weekend it’s making me wish we were visiting a Park this weekend (although they’re generally insane on national holiday weekends).
