EP 16 - Environmental Impact Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

This week, as we battle the heat, we thought it apt to discuss our environmental impact as photographers. This led us into discussing Ben's new print portfolios, as he's made alterations to lessen the waste. And, of course, we found ourselves shifting topics a bit to that of money and motivation.

EP 12 - How We Change Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Today, we are discussing how we change. Not necessarily as artists but, rather, how we change as we grow older, from being a kid to an adult. This goes hand-in-hand with the realization that the mental difference isn't so straightforward, isn't so exact. We also speak a bit about mental health and the consequences it has on how we change, as well.
