- 86 - Jump Cuts
It’s rainy and somewhat miserable in both California and Pennsylvania as we record this, though Ben has the upper hand with his (slightly) warmer weather. In between a connection outage or two, we talk about the ongoing plant-based experiment and its effects on cycling, as well as the idea of having an emotional attachment to food. We then find ourselves speaking on rapid jump cuts in television shows and whether long form content will find itself with a niche audience, not too dissimilar to how film has been resurrected. Finally, we end the show with another recommendation, this time of large format portrait photographer Bryan Birks.

50 min - 85 - Spandex on Rails
Sparked by an hour-long walk, Ben and I discuss the importance of routine and the creation of a daily schedule. Though it may seem odd to plan out your day to the hour, is it really all that different from what we do when we work for someone else? Not to mention, it may actually help us to feel better both mentally and physically, while also becoming a bit more productive.

41 min - 84 - Miracle Material
This week, Ben reveals a super secret trick that will help ensure your YouTube videos look seamless, even if the content was shot several days apart. We also discuss the idea of camouflage as a fashion statement, and how a minimalist wardrobe can be rather beneficial, despite the odd looks you may get from people you work with, like your dogs and cats. Perhaps more pertinent to photography though, we talk about Ben’s 3rd volume of his Unpolished eBook series, how he may end up sleeping next to his bike in his 4Runner, and whether we crop our large format film images.

45 min - 83 - Punch in the Face
As Ben and I continue our journeys in landscape photography, we find ourselves with a strong desire to learn more about both the natural world around us and the role nature plays in fueling our bodies. To be an advocate of nature means not only to speak on the importance of environmental protections but, perhaps more importantly, to live a more natural life. What that means, of course, is up for debate, at least to an extent. Not everyone can realistically live in a cabin in the middle of the woods with minimal outside contact. Still, we can dream. Nonetheless, all of this is on our minds as we discuss the making of fruit leather, the idea of eating primarily plant-based foods, and how simply being in nature without the camera can be more enjoyable than making a photograph.

41 min - 82 - Not in Public
While the information shared via TikTok, Instagram Reels, and social media in general can rarely be trusted, there are times when it connects in such a way that your habits begin to make a bit more sense. Habits such as constantly procrastinating despite enjoying the activities you are avoiding. This week, Ben and I spend a majority of the episode discussing the impact that childhood praise has had on me in adulthood. Specifically, we discuss how a lack of being challenged in life can lead to a fear of failure, especially when these challenges are faced in a public manner.

42 min - 81 - Puppies in Spandex
With Christmas now behind us, Ben and I finish out the year by discussing what is perhaps the most pivotal part of running a YouTube channel: The negative comments. Sparked by one comment in particular, we discuss how returning to a location time and again can actually be beneficial, making you a better artist, than if you were to travel to exotic locations. Not to mention the knowledge you obtain around the delicate areas of a location you know by heart, as well as the more original photographs you may come away with. As usual, we also discuss a bit about cycling before finishing off the episode, and the year, with puppy talk.

41 min - 80 - Jersey Pocket
Given the number of spam calls we receive each day, Ben and I ponder whether working at such a call center would be a lucrative career choice. Even if it did bring in a bundle of cash, it wouldn’t likely lead to much growth on a personal or professional level. Perhaps this is much like being an influencer, but that’s something neither Ben nor I are about to find out anytime soon. Regardless, we do manage to swing the conversation toward actual creative topics, such as zine production and the difference between them and calendars on a yearly basis.

42 min - 79 - Personal Chef Money
We start off strong this episode by discussing bladder control, which somehow leads us somewhat nicely into discussing the correlation between motivation and meeting our needs. As we riff on sleep and stress, we chat about deadlines and presentations, as well as Ben’s use of a 100-mile bicycle ride as a reward. And while on the topic of cycling, we talk about how, at the end of the day, we just want to feel good.

49 min - 78 - A Weird Arnold Palmer
What does apple juice, iced tea, and a water wagon — whatever that is, exactly — have in common? About as much as they have to do with photography, which isn’t much. But, that’s the fun of it, right? This week, we’re talking about healthy habits, kayaking, and following rules. We also discuss Ben’s 2023 print portfolios and the release of Nature Vision Magazine’s third issue. And I make the mistake of using a “dirty word” to describe what Ben is to many people.

43 min - 77 - Flooded Kayak
Not having a proper introduction last week, that just felt weird. Yeah, it’s a bit more work to include them, but it’s fun to try tying everything together. Speaking of fun, this week we are joined by a very special guest as we discuss the Thanksgiving holiday and how time simply flies by without a care in the world. We talk about social media no longer being all that personal, and how blogging could be a way for me to share the photographs taken on my Ricoh. Again we find ourselves thinking about the ideal creative life, which, for Ben, involves flooded kayaks and blueberry creme pie as the money rolls in.
