I’ve listened to this podcast for a long time and I think Jeff Carlson is great! He’s knowledgeable and entertaining. But I can’t take Kirk’s complaining, moaning, and whining any longer; he’s just not worth it. I’m unsubscribing.
I find the conversations interesting and informative. They bring out many issues of interest to photographers - particularly those who work in Apple computing ecosystem.
Jeff and Kirk have a wonderful, fun and informative podcast about photography and the apple ecosystem. I look forward to every show- they are knowledgeable, affable and direct. None of the fulff which so many podcasts insert. Highly recommended to anyone interested in photography as an art/craft, as opposed to gearheads. A podcast for grownups. Bravo!
Lots of useful information presented in a pleasant way by two guys that love photography as much as I do. Thanks guys!
