Apologies for the audio on this episode. Hadn't dialed in the new setup yet. Will be better on the next one.

Well, I think that the first in-person chat went really well. I had a great time talking with @sloancam about how he got started and what he digs about photography. We talked about our creative practices and just about life in general. We got a little into upcoming projects and I invited him to be part of some wheat paste projects coming up this spring/summer. I think this will be the first of many in-person chats.

“I tend to use photography as a means for adventure rather than explicitly as a form of art or self-expression. My camera pushes me to go out and explore, whether locally on a short walk with my dog, or on a longer trip.

Photography has enhanced my appreciation of the many small things that I find all around me. I tend to be a big planner, but when I’m out taking pictures, I am pulled back to the present and what’s right there in the moment, rather than always looking ahead and planning for the future, so my work is really just a reflection of the moments I find interesting along those adventures.”
