A big folder of family photos to Bill leads him and Jeffery to discuss family history. We also go deep on the concept of a workspace and what it takes to make a good one. Plus we take a gander at a NYTimes piece which considers culture dead. Karl Bissinger is Photographer of the Week.

How do you hold onto inspiration and remind yourself later? Your process is the result of your experiences. Perhaps it’s better to lean into how you work rather than force yourself into someone else’s system. A great AI rebuttal on the NYTimes and South African photographer Peter Magubane is our Photographer of the Week.

Some thoughts on last week’s in-person episode leads Jeffery and Bill to discuss how copying is never a perfect copy and why that’s a good thing. A recent conversation about AI imagery from the NYTimes is discussed and we answer a listener question about physical controls for Lightroom. Alain Laboile is our Photographer of the Week.

Bill spends hours digging midi data out of a 17 year old file to open up a box that already had a bow on it. Also, should you cater to the camera or let the camera cater to you? All this and 80’s-90’s fashion photographer David Seidner is our Photographer of the Week.

Bill regales Jeffery with stories from his “Sleep No More” experience this past weekend. Which of course leads the two of them into discussing communications within an organization and deciding when you’re old enough to just be yourself, regardless of what other people think. The recently passed Elliott Erwitt is again our Photographer of the Week.

Does the way we learned to use the tools we use hold us back when those tools inevitably change under our feet? The Apple TV+ series “The Supermodels” teaches us a lesson on the value of a good subject and the role of collaboration as tool for improvement. At the end Bill throws in some musings on the musical Merrily We Roll Along that’s currently on Broadway and asks Jeffery to weigh in on what it all means. Larry Fink, may he rest in peace, is our Photographer of the Week.
