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.

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.
