- 96 - A Necessary Change
In the age of podcasts and streaming services, are introductions to what we watch truly necessary? Or am I wasting my breath by summarizing what you’re about to listen to anyway? Our artist of the week is Mary Brisson.

54 min - 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.

49 min - 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.

50 min - 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.

43 min - 92 - Knowing When The Story Ends
Ben’s recent completion of his long awaited century ride leads to a discussion primarily around plant-based eating habits. If you’ve ever wondered what Ben eats in a day, your answer awaits. Though, I wouldn’t be too excited — he eats the same breakfast and lunch every day. In this episode, we also touch on the idea of knowing when a story should end, brought on by a movie I watched the other night. And perhaps most important is our featured photographer: Todd Dominey.

46 min - 91 - Creating Beauty from Hate
Once again off social media, my mind floats toward the idea of slow productivity, of slow growth - something which has been discussed ad nauseam between Ben and I, but its importance in this world of hustle and bustle cannot be overstated. This brings us to questions such as whether legacy even exists in the modern era, and if the supposedly endless options for making money, are harming rather than helping us.

46 min - 90 - Tap Dancing in Death Valley
My recent interview with Talking Landscape Photography has me thinking about the ways we organize our photographs for presentation, particularly the debate between online galleries and the recent trend of free eBooks. This is especially pertinent as I work to revamp my website, as well as edit through the year-long backlog that has built up. And now that I have the freedom of digital with a system I am quite enjoying, the likelihood of my creating work more frequently has only gone up. An overarching question which remains when thinking about this, however, is whether my hunger for photographs will ever be satiated.

55 min - 89 - Flipping Burgers
Though it didn’t seem to go all that well, I finally had a job interview the other day. The last position I interviewed for was in October, for an outdoor retail company, and previous to that was an interview in July for a teaching position. So, maybe I was a bit rusty; or maybe they knew immediately that I wasn’t the right fit. Either way, after a bit of ranting off the air, Ben and I discuss what this means and what my plans are moving forward.

48 min - 88 - Glistening Mud
Ben has returned from his most recent trip to Death Valley, where he experienced a slight existential crisis while photographing glistening mud. This leads to a conversation around anxiety and film photography, as well as the veil of perfection with digital cameras. Once again, I am attempting to replace my large format film kit with digital, this time with the Fuji GFX50s. Will it actually work? I - along with many others - have my doubts. But perhaps there’s something different about this one…

48 min - 87 - Slow Gross
For the longest time, people have realized there is a certain power to such simple acts as walking, especially when it comes to thought generation. Of course, this doesn’t mean all the ideas we come up with while walking are going to be good ones. What is more important though, is ensuring we maintain a sense of intentionality behind everything we do, whether it’s being on social media or creating a far-too-stringent daily schedule. Most of this episode revolves around mindset and slow growth, two topics which are on perpetual repeat for Ben and I. For this week’s recommendation, we highlight nature photographer Taylor Picard and her eye for intimate details, which rivals the best out there.
