Why not? We have the golf, hunting, racing, tennis, and the soccer channels on TV why not a channel about photography. I don't know if many of you have watched TechTV, it's all about technology about gaming, computers, etc. and a photography channel could be similar. Interviews with photographs, Camera and lens reviews, editing software reviews and tips. The list could go on. Do you think that would be a good idea?

I did a search on the Internet to see it there was a such channel and the only thing I could come up with was 'the photography channel' which is online. I visited the site and was amazed at the content. Photographers being interview and describing the pictures they took. I have not look throughout the site but the videos interviews I have watched were very interesting. To hear the photographer explain why the photo was taken, what they were thinking was great.

If you have time visit the site and see what you think. You can go to this article and read about the website. It has a link to the Photography Channel.

Just Imagine this brought to television. I don't see where they would have a problem with sponsorship. You know Canon, Nikon, Minolta, etc. would be advertising along with Adobe and other editing programs not to mention computer companies.

It just makes me wonder why no one has dedicated a channel to photograph? or at least that I can find.

Bump (if you don't want to read the post at least when you have time view some of the interviews. They tell the story from the photographers point of view). I found it emotive and good. Maybe you will too.

Video interviews I thought was very nice:
Photographer " Neil Leifer" - Neil Leifers Portraits
Photographer "Karen Ballard" - The Girl that shot Saddam
Photographer "John Ficara" - Distant Echoes

There are a lot more. Very interesting.

They have a Horse Racing TV also. I would love to see a Photography Channel. I used to watch TechTV but when Comcast bought it it went to shit IMO. Thanks for the links Scott. Maybe we can start a pettion for a Photography Channel.
