Friends,

After nearly six years and over 150 episodes, we�ve come to the conclusion that it�s time to retire our microphones and bring the curtain down on The Image Doctors podcast. This is not a decision that we made lightly, but it is something that was in our best interests. We would like to thank all of you who have followed us from our humble beginnings in December of 2005 and also those of you who maybe just recently discovered us.

We never expected The Image Doctors to be such a popular production within the photography community. We are especially thankful to all of the great photographers who have joined us over the years to help enlighten our listeners on exciting ways to foster their interest in photography. Even more than that, we are humbled by the sheer number of our listeners who have written us or posted on our Facebook Page to ask questions, suggest topics, or offer their thanks for our tidbits. Without you, we�d never have made it this long. Finally, we�d like to thank Nikonians.org for their steadfast commitment to delivering The Image Doctors podcast free to everyone around the world.

We wish everyone who supported us the very best going forward and good light.

-Jason Odell & Rick Walker
