You seem to like this podcast, but I don’t feel like I’ve dialed it in just right yet. I reflect on how I’ve dialed in other creative things I’ve done, like my blog.

In public places in the US, you have a Constitutionally protected right to make photographs. But is it always wise to exercise that right?

I’ve been doing a lot of walking with a camera over the last several months. It’s helped me cope with some stuff.

If you want to improve your skills in any creative endeavor, the best way is to keep practicing. I find that putting practice on a schedule, making it routine, is a power move.

I love a bargain, and the N2000 offers a great deal of bang for the buck. You can pick up bodies on eBay all the time for $50 or less, sometimes much less.

I’m a Pentaxian first and foremost, even though I own plenty of cameras from other makers. In this episode, I walk through the five series of manual-focus 35mm SLRs Pentax manufactured over time, and offer my thoughts and recommendations.

I shoot a lot of expired film for a guy who says he prefers fresh film. In this episode, I share tips for getting the most out of any expired film you might shoot.

I am primarily a documentary photographer, recording and cataloging the world around me. Because I’ve built decent skills, my photographs are often pleasing, sometimes even beautiful and emotionally powerful. But in my opinion, that isn’t enough to make them art.

Here are some documentary photographs I’ve made that I personally find to be evocative.

You might be ride-or-die for film, and if you are, I salute you. Even though I favor film, there are times when I reach for one of my digital cameras. In this episode, I share when those times are, and why.

If you’re a creative, it’s natural to want people to see your creative work. The trouble is, it takes a great deal of energy to promote your work, when you’d probably rather use that energy creating more work! I speak about what I do to promote my work, and talk about what you can realistically expect the return to be.
