It's finally here, the Avengers Megacast where we discuss Avengers Endgame, the future of the MCU, and our experience with the Marvel Universe over the years. 

It's a spoiler-y episode, so if you haven't seen Avengers Endgame, stay far away.

Hey guys! In this week's episode, I talked to Andrew Bailes about his experience singing background for Willie Nelson and other bands, and then moving to China. It was an accidental interview (the best kind), because this episode was very unplanned, but that's half the fun! If anything, this episode of the podcast is a document of Andrew and I meeting, which is pretty neat. This is a two part episode, with the second being more with Tim who teaches me about hunting. 

I came with the gear to record two people, so I had to switch to a different microphone mode on my recorder, so the audio quality gets iffy at some points, but I think it turned out pretty great for us being outside on Tim's porch. 

Stay tuned for Part II which will be released later!

Hey guys! Sorry for missing last week's show! Have a brand new guest coming at you later this week!

In today's episode, I talk about the story of my photography career and discuss the recently released article about "Photographer" Being One of the Worst Jobs in the US right now by the numbers. You can read the article here:

I have a lot of questions about the data on this study and I don't believe it's entirely inclusive of the whole industry, but I do believe there's a lot of accuracy in it.

I give a few examples of pros who are leaving the photography world due to it's decline, notably Jeremy Cowart. I read his biography last week and you should too, check it out here:

Short one this week! I've had a bunch of stuff going on, but I wrote a blog about how the world of "wedding photography blogging" I could talk about this topic all day, but you can read the post here: https://www.willmalone.com/blog/2019/4/9/blogging-its-just-what-you-do

I have a bunch of stuff I want to fix in the post, but it's out there, so I'll do a follow up later. 

Basically, I just push back at the idea that people need to feel pressure to blog photo sets just because other photographers do it. You do you.
