A special bonus episode of the On Taking Pictures podcast, outside the timeline of the normal show. We talk about building a Hackintosh. The what, why, how, and how much are all covered. Might be scary for some and fascinating for others.

If this isn’t your cup of tea, enjoy episode #10 from a couple days ago and we’ll be back next week for more of the epistemological photo talk you know and love.
