#335: The Lesson In This Season of My Life

What’s Jeffery working on lately? If not, why not? Also, does everyone think they’re a fraud deep down and just keep it to themselves? Christian Witkin is our Photographer of the Week.

#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.

#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.
