  • EP 16 - Environmental Impact

    This week, as we battle the heat, we thought it apt to discuss our environmental impact as photographers. This led us into discussing Ben's new print portfolios, as he's made alterations to lessen the waste. And, of course, we found ourselves shifting topics a bit to that of money and motivation.

  • EP 12 - How We Change

    Today, we are discussing how we change. Not necessarily as artists but, rather, how we change as we grow older, from being a kid to an adult. This goes hand-in-hand with the realization that the mental difference isn't so straightforward, isn't so exact. We also speak a bit about mental health and the consequences it has on how we change, as well.

  • EP 9 - Those That Came Before Us

    In this episode, Ben and I discuss the monetization of photography projects - specifically through Patreon - along with our influences through landscape photography, and how we can use jealousy as motivation, rather than allowing it to bring us down.

  • EP 7 - Full Time Photographer

    In this episode, Ben and I discuss what it means to be a full time photographer, what it's actually like as compared to how it appears on social media, and how it affects our creativity and mental state, specifically when it comes to burnout and the apparent glorification of it.
