#332: You Did That Wrong, Make It Right
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.

#331: I Was On A Sofa
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?

#330: Losing Your Bearings
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?

#329: Interpretation At Every Step
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.

#328: Between the Accolades
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.
#327: Going Back To Move Forward
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.

#326: Special Episode – Apple Announcement Oct 2018
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…
#325: Closing The Loop

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.

#324: Another Stick in the Spokes
Alfred Stanley Johnson
With only one more episode of OTP left, this week we actually start with a discussion around photography—specifically, focusing on the tools (either hardware or software) you need or will actually use in your creative workflow. Sometimes we get caught up in looking at all of what a camera or piece of software does or is capable of doing without looking at what we actually need it to do. Also, a continuation of last week’s discussion where we talk about Don McCullin’s view that at least some of his professional life was wasted documenting the human suffering associated with war. Alfred Stanley Johnson is our Photographer of the Week.

#323: There’s No Control Group in Life

This week, a discussion around knowing (or thinking we know) when it’s time to change directions, whether in a body of work, a relationship, where to live, etc. Also, what happens when the dream you wanted isn’t the reality you get? Plus, according to a federal judge, photos on the internet are fair use…yes, even yours. Don McCullin is our Photographer of the Week.
