Speaking of Seeing with Sandi Robertson and Bill Wadman
What starts with a conversation about Bill’s new skateboard, and righting the sins of childhood leads us to discuss overcoming fear and mental paralysis. We also get a bit into the Adobe license news, the portraits of the King Charles, and Jeffery’s ideal trail bike.

In this episode, we talk about why simpler is often the more attractive solution and how not spending your creative life trying to do something new is okay. Plus, is having goals too goal oriented?

We start with Bill going back to his roots in audio, first as a equipment repairman and then in due course a mix engineer. Which leads he and Jeffery into a discussion about getting turned around and losing your bearings. How do you know which direction to go? What if you’ve achieved your original goals and need to find new ones?

Jeffery starts right out of the gate with a deep dive on how we’re supposed to feel about how we’re supposed to feel, which gets us to being overwhelmed while making things, which gets us to tethering to CaptureOne on the iPad and using diffusion filters to get the look we’re after in camera if we can. Less options later, but perhaps that’s what we’re should be going for.

Jeffery’s exploration of media, materials, and IKEA shelving leads us to a discussion of legacy and perspective and hope in creative endeavors. And yes, there’s a bit of follow-up about Bill’s GFX.
This week, we discuss Bill’s new camera purchase and whether the hardware is the problem or if it’s just a stand-in for Bill’s ambivalence about the future of professional photography. You know, casual Bill/Jeffery conversation fare. Welcome to 2023 everyone.

They said it would never happen – that we were through, done for, washed up. Turns out, all it took was a new Mac Mini, Macbook Air, and an iPad Pro for us to dust off the mics and smash that record button. Is it a one off? Will there be more? Time will tell…
This week, we close the loop on 325 episodes of talking about photography, creativity, and sometimes just the ups and downs of life in general. It has been such a privilege to be a small part of your lives for the past six years. Speaking for myself, I am a better person for having done this show, though I would imagine Bill feels the same. This show has—in no uncertain terms—changed my life and whether you have listened to one episode or all of them, thank you for making time in your lives for us each and every week. I don’t think either one of us know what’s next, but I do know that we would love to keep the conversations going. Thank you again for six amazing years.
