I think that our unifying motivation is curiosity - an unrelenting, never-ending curiosity - an &quot;itch&quot; to know more about something and to learn about that thing through photographing it. I was prompted to think about how we should cultivate the itch - our curiosity - and not the scratch by this quote from photographer Sabasti\u00e3o Salgado: \u201cIf you\u2019re young and have the time, go and study. Study anthropology, sociology, economy, geopolitics. Study so that you\u2019re actually able to understand what you\u2019re photographing. What you can photograph and what you should photograph.\u201d Links for this Episode:  The Italy Photography Workshops for 2017  Sicily: Photographing a Sense of Place - May 26 to June 2, 2017 Tuscany: Exploring the Eternal Moment - June 17 to June 24, 2017   Sab\u00e3stiao Salgado - View some of his work     Steps, Medici Chapel, Florence, 2016 - Photograph by Jeff Curto   &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Jeff Curto's Camera Position","author_url":"http:\/\/www.cameraposition.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/4811471\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/4811471"}
