3.6 out of 5 stars from 13 ratings
  • Terrible audio quality

    This podcast has great potential but is let down by two key areas. The first is the appalling audio quality, with inconsistent levels which make it impossible to listen to without having to ride the volume control. The audio of the guests is also often very poor. If a guest can’t provide good audio then they shouldn’t be allowed on the show. The other issue is the fact that “listeners’” photos are reviewed. It’s a podcast!!! Stop talking about visuals.

  • Good stuff but audio levels all over the place

    I like this podcast. Has interesting topics but the audio levels of the hosts are either too loud or too soft. It’s frustrating and often listen to something else because of it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A conversation with Jonas Wilson (EP215)
Q: How did your journey as a photographer begin and who inspired you?
Jonas describes a gradual shift from aspiring YouTuber and general photography to a focused street/landscape photographer, influenced by travel and the social I.D. around sharing work online; family not being photographers, but peers and the web played a big role.
A conversation with Doug Porter (EP213)
Q: What was the experience like transitioning from a film-based lab environment to digital imaging, and how did it affect the work you did?
The shift was seismic: a move from large-scale analog processing to digital workflows altered everything from speed to the types of projects pursued, yet it also unlocked new creative possibilities and required adapting tools and processes while preserving artistic intent.
A conversation with John Norris (EP206)
Q: What sparked your journey into photography?
John Norris explains it started in his teens with a camera lent by his father, which ignited a lifelong passion and set him on a path of exploration and learning.
A conversation with David Imel (EP202)
Q: When did photography enter your life and what sparked that interest?
Imel explains that photography entered his life in the late 2010s, sparked by a combination of travel opportunities and a desire to document experiences beyond engineering chores, with Fujifilm X-T2 and later panoramic formats changing his trajectory.
Steve Parish Shares the Lessons of a Lifetime Behind the Camera (EP200)
Q: How do you view technology and AI in your work?
He advocates using AI as a tool to enhance, not replace, authentic creativity, urges clear ethical guidelines, and emphasizes maintaining personal voice and teaching through transparent processes.
