Usually, the "SmugMug Corner" photographer interviews, sponsored by SmugMug.com, show up on the Corner Blog every other Friday... but due to the 2011 Photograph of the Year hub-bub that was going on last week, we decided to move the interview from last Friday to today. But it was definitely worth the wait - we have over 2 dozen photos that accompany one of my favorite SmugMug Corner interviews to date (and we've had over 100(!) of them). Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like for you to meet Howard Brown.

The time of year has come when the weather is just horrible. At least in Northern New York it is horrible. Up here the skies are gray, it’s rainy, it’s cold, just no fun to be outside at all. Many of us are faced with a similar problem, it’s discouraging and you just don’t want to get up and go out and photograph things. Now is the time to go to Florida! If you time it right you can save a ton of money going down there and avoid all the tourists as well.

Friday is my favorite day of the week around the Corner - every Friday we either have a SmugMug Corner photographer interview (where we meet a photographer from SmugMug.com), or we have a Corner Member Close Up (where we can browse through some photos, and get to know one of our very own photographers from the Corner). This week we meet Jim Harris (aka jaharris1001), who's been a member of the Corner for about 2.5 years. He placed in the 2009 Photograph of the Year contest, won the August 2008 Photograph of the Month contest, and recently picked his his second Photograph of the Month win by winning the October 2010 Photograph of the Month contest. Jim answered every single question we sent his way (usually we only get 4-5 answers out of the "Bonus Questions" section from each interview), so enjoy the extra long interview below, along with over 20 of his favorite photographs!

In our popular photographer interview series "SmugMug Corner," we meet Glenn Price: freelance 3D character modeler and nature photographer. Check out the 10 fantastic bird photographs that accompany the interview below.

Despite the fact that the voting and the winner announcement was a couple of days later than normal, that, by no means, makes the winning photograph any less than fantastic. Jim Harris (aka jaharris1001) of Deltona, Florida won the August 2008 Photograph of the Month contest with his photo titled “Pilons and Morning Colors.”

Every Friday, for almost half a year now, we've interviewed and got to check out a bunch of photographs by a "SmugMug" photographer in our weekly feature "SmugMug Corner." This week is no different (just pretend it's Friday, ok? I totally forgot yesterday - so to make up for it, you get an extra long interview, with double the amount of photographs than normal), and we meet pro photographer, author and teacher: Jim Wilson.
