A happy 2023 to you, dear listener. I hope that you are well.

I am starting off 2023 with something completely different. See, I have things to deal with, so my priorities right now have to be elsewhere. So, what I want to do is share with you the first episode of my podcast, What Is Photography?

This is the original recording, published in October 2020.

I will pick up on this in the next episode, where I will give you my thoughts on what is after all a fundamental question about photography. And this is something that I have a lot to say about.
