This week, Ben and I discuss how our holiday celebrations went, which turned out to be rather quiet for the both of us. Keeping in what appears to be a tradition of analog technology, I received a record player from my parents, along with a few records my mother had picked out. After discussing a bit about this analog technology - one which is coming back in much the same manner as film - we turn our attention to the idea of Patreon and free entertainment, a topic brought on by discussions had in the Landscape Photographers World discord channel. We provide our opinions regarding the problem with so many people believing entertainment should be free - think of Spotify and the low monthly cost compared to when you had to purchase each album from your favorite artists - along with what Patreon originally stood for versus what it has become, due to people always desiring something in return. Our conversation shifts, then, toward a poll Ben had put on Twitter which asked whether photographers follow trends, which led to an interesting discussion that has no pure answer.
