  • Daily Q: Do You Need to Travel to be a Travel Photographer?

    I've started a new segment today called the daily Q.  I'm taking a question off of instagram and answering it here on the podcast on a near daily basis.
    Today's question comes from Instagram user @dudebehindacamera and is "Do I need to travel the world for my style to be considered travel". 
    So, essentially: do you need to travel to be a travel photographer.
    If you want to ask a question for the Daily Q, drop me a message on My Instagram.
    And, don't forget to check out the latest on my YouTube Channel.

  • The EOS R and A Rant About Camera Fanboys

    I have the Canon EOS R in my hands now and I wanted to talk a bit about the camera and how I feel about it.  Most of all, I wanted to talk about some of the deficiencies - or at least some of the things I'll need to get used to with the camera.
    Also, I go off on a bit of a rant about camera fanboys. Or, I guess tech fanboys in general.

    This isn't so much a photography podcast as it is an update on where things have been going. I was in Namibia leading a photography tour, and I was way too busy to be uploading. So, this is kind of just a message to say: I'm back.

  • Photography Contests are a SCAM
    Photography contests are a scam. Sure, not all of them. But most photography contests are simply clever way to get people to give their work away for free.
