E04: "Bear traps for Santa Claus." with Parker Pfister Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I speak to Parker Pfister. Parker has tons of stories, and I love hearing Parker's stories. In this conversation with him, we will talk about the Horsemen system, 6 by 9, 2.7-megapixel cameras in the transition between those two things, and we will talk about radioactive lenses and bear traps on the roof. Parenting is also related to bear traps. This is the conversation about life, photography about old and new tools, and how to bring them together to create art that expresses who we are as people and looks for our vision to come together with things that were never intended to be used together at the same time.

Parker and I have many things in our lives around anxiety and stuff we've had to overcome, so I'm sure that we will be woven in here in our conversation with Parker.

I want to welcome you!

Join us in having a good conversation with Parker Pfister.

E03: "Take the First Step..." with Andrea Gulickx Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I bring on Andrea Gulickx. We talk about finding one thing that we can approach fearlessly. Andrea is a professional photographer living in the Netherlands who leads workshops on macro photography, abstract landscapes, and smartphone photography. She found photography was the one area of her life she didn't care what other people thought about her, and she and her photographs approached this as, "I am going to be good at this, I'm going to find my vision, I'm going to move forward and do something that I'm proud of."

Today, we're here to explore the idea of Moving Through Fear, and Lensbabies mission statement, as we empower artists and move through fear to discover extraordinary, creative freedom.

Don't miss out, and Let's get into the show!

E02: Failure is the Path to Success with Robert Pugh Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I speak with Robert Pugh; we talk about his journey and how photography pretty much saved his life and gave him a way out of some struggles around his mental health, emotional state, just a sense of purpose that he needed to have and something to dig into that has sustained him. Robert will take us through not only some very personal parts of his journey but also will give us things to walk away with. He gives us multiple workshops, week-long workshops to work through because he will give us assignments that can provide us with a way to learn an assignment that is short and sweet, and his words that isn't super daunting going in but can be profound in terms of our takeaway.

I hope you will enjoy this conversation with Robert and me as we explore his story!

Let’s dig into the show!
