Ben Horne Interview, Nature Photography with Leica, and Comparing the Leica SL2 and Leica SL2-S
In all seriousness, this episode centers on my incredible conversation with Ben Horne, a full-time nature photographer based in California. Ben uses large format film and takes us along on his popular YouTube channel. His channel, by the way, may be the oldest dedicated landscape photo channel on the web.
Keeping with the nature theme, I just returned from a few days in the far north shooting images and video of owls and other wildlife for work. I was able to rent a Leica SL2-S to complement my SL-2. As a result, I can compare and contrast them for you.

Interview with David Bickley, Leica Ambassador, Leica Akademie Instructor, and Leica DC Staff Member
I am so pleased to finally publish my wonderful conversation with David Bickley. David is a Leica Ambassador, a Leica Akademie Instructor, and a staff member at Leica DC. David is a great conversationalist, an innovator, and a creative powerhouse. We have a great conversation about the history and venerability of the Leica brand, about David's love of the M10-D, and about the struggle of creativity.
We also open with some listener messages and feedback and why I am happy to accept my first 1-star review ;)

Straight Out Of Camera: Updates, Listener Email, Blurb Publications, Struggling To Find Inspiration
This episode is something new. I’m calling it straight out of camera because it’s essentially whatever comes to my mind, with hardly an edit in sight. This is the real me.
This episode I talk about a wide variety of topics in a short amount of time (well, a relatively short amount of time for me anyway). Please let me know what you think! My objective is to fill in some of the blanks between interviews and more formally structured episodes, just to make sure I’m sharing and staying in touch with you.
In this episode we hear from a UK listener, Chris, whose experience is much like my own. We also cover some issues I had with Blurb publishing, some creative block I’m having, and some of the emotional turmoil of trying to be a social photographer during the pandemic.

Interview With Tayler Chaparelle, New Leica Q2 Photographer And Friend Of The Show
This interview has been a long time coming. I am proud to speak with my friend Tayler Chaparelle, an EMT based in South Carolina. Tayler's incredible story resonated with me the first time she bravely emailed me months and months ago. After a bout with PTSD, Tayler struggled with depression and found her way out with her camera. Now, she is on the verge of owning her first Leica, a Leica Q2. It only took her 650 hours of overtime to get it! Tayler is a special soul and I know you will enjoy meeting her.

I will talk about my publication recent history as an amateur enthusiast photographer and how I got there on my own, and with help from my career in the nonprofit world.
I will also go over a series of listener messages, talk about my favorite podcast, and explore my own stumbling, bumbling pathway to shooting fully manual and working with a Leica M10-D.

Working Class Cameras: Getting A Leica In The Hands Of Photographers That Would Cherish Them Most
This episode explores my dream of building a community to create a resource to help them achieve their dreams. Can we come together and prove that Leica cameras are not just luxury ornaments for the rich? That Leica cameras are valuable, durable, incredible tools that have a heritage of changing the world for the better? I believe we can.
Inspired by a listener that wrote me about her own battles with depression, her intense career as an EMT, and her photographic journey that saved her life, this idea may take years to put in place but would be worth it in the end.
Please listen and share this episode. If we were to make this happen, we need to make this audience and community grow!

This one is a little longer, I guess I felt lonely!
I am also trying to edit a little lighter, and keep more of my own voice in here. I hope it still works for you, though there may be a few more “ummmms” and “ya knows” in there ;)

Making Time, Shooting Dirty, And The Leica Q2
It can be hard to set aside time to be creative, no matter if you are a photographer or musician or knitter or baker. In this episode, I am going to tell you a little about how I have integrated photography into my life. It isn’t easy, but if you believe in yourself and these around you believe in you, too, I bet you can make it happen.
I’ll talk a little about my recent trip to New York and workshopping at the International Center of Photography, as well as an ongoing tattoo photo project.
The photos section will be all about the concept of dirty frames. That is, the active practice of polluting your frame with out of focus foreground elements, unusual compositions, partially obscured subjects, and motion blur.
Finally, we will talk about the Leica Q2 and recent firmware updates from Leica.
