    98 - Puppies 4 Sale

    Showcasing the dichotomies between life and death is something I am focusing on as I continue to photograph various found bones and skulls. Meanwhile, Ben thinks about new skates and society’s obsession with buying cheap items that are thrown out rather quickly. Our artist of the week is Eugene Theron.

    97 - Plant-Based Ben

    Was it a mistake to turn down a temporary position with decent pay, despite poor gut feelings? Is this dream of mine something that can become a reality, or should I take the money and be like everyone else? Will Ben continue on this plant-based journey? Our artist of the week is Alex Jones.

    95 - Feelings of Uncertainty

    Pollen is at the front door again, ready to knock me down and stuff me up. That won’t stop Ben and I from discussing the 2024 solar eclipse or the idea that we should give our photographs more time to grow on us, much like we do with redesigned vehicles. We also talk about my recent pursuit of a mentor, to better help me grow as both a photographer and a writer — and, perhaps, as an individual. Our artist of the week is Kenny Thatcher.

    94 - Pulling Threads

    As Ben celebrates four years as a full-time landscape photographer, we discuss the small changes in life that can make a large difference. We pull threads as we contemplate how careers will shift with the introduction of AI, and we ponder the effects of immediate gratification on what tasks we choose to focus upon. Our artist of the week is Sho Hoshino.

    93 - Angry White Man

    The thread which weaves our conversation together this week, is our desire for connecting more deeply with nature. From planes powered by humans to barefoot hiking boots, Ben and I continue to consider how we may better change our lives to be more natural. Further, I contemplate whether recent events are some sort of sign that the path I’m currently taking, is the correct one. Our artist of the week is Brett Dennen.

Refreshing

It’s so nice to listen to a photo inspired podcast that isn’t about the photos. It’s about thoughts and life. I have to wonder if some of the negative reviewers actually read the title of the podcast.

BTW I am one of those guys that keeps going to the same place. I love it, it reminds me of the proverb, ‘No man steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and it’s not the same man.’

Puppies

Listening to the nightly ritual that you have with your dog Emmy, it struck me that she has trained you very well. I’ve had many dogs now large ones but I’ve also had 5 pound Yorkies, who slept through the night. I might assure myself that there’s nothing Medical about the nighttime issues, but other than that you’re going to have to brave through the wake ups she’s giving you. I am not sure this will get better. I have 3 Chow Chows, and they can be very stubborn,as the breed is known for, my husband and I are have been trained very well to open and close the doors to let them out.

Great podcast for creativity that isn’t gear obsessed

I really enjoy podcasts and YouTube videos where I can watch or listen to photographers and their process so I can learn when I’m not out myself. Or when I just want something calming to experience related to photography. Hats off to these guys for talking about the creativity and the art of photography rather than “top lists” or gear-focused reviews. Highly recommend you add this to your list!
