An experimental episode; this is a musical episode and NO its not me singing. 

Does anyone actual read this? If I was to put in a load of gibberish would anyone notice.

Apparently Anchor allows up to 4000 characters in this space, the sure is a lot, I'm not sure that I could use up that many.

This sure is a really strange episode although I think that music is the food of love, so play on, Sam.

I could put an artist statement here but what should I write.

My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and unwanted gifts. With influences as diverse as Rousseau and John Lennon, new tensions are generated from both explicit and implicit narratives.

Ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of the zeitgeist. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of distress, leaving only a sense of dread and the inevitability of a new understanding.

As shimmering forms become frozen through diligent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the limits of our era.

Maybe I could place the answer to, today's Wordle. I don't do Wordle but I do know the answer is five letters.

Maybe a photography joke,

Two photographers are walking down the street

one of them trips and fall to the ground

the second immediately fall down next to him and says: "excellent angle! What are we shooting?"

I wonder if this could become a multi listened to episode and people will be talking about it for years to come, a bit like the pandemic.

WOW! I just realised that I have typed 2222 words, no make that 2241, no damn it keeps going up, that's what she said.

No I've not been drinking , I'm just in a playful mood and wondering if anyone will see this, maybe I'll have a pop at someone and 

see if they notice,  no that wouldn't be nice and it was only meant as a joke, like all of this rubbish I'm typing here.

Maybe its time to stop this malarkey and just end this now.

I could tell you how I go about recording these episodes, would you like that?

There is a story about a bunker somewhere in the desert in America but I think I will save that for a future episode, that's if there is a 

future episode. 

Well even I'm starting to bore myself will these rambling, so it's best that I stop now but I'm finding it so difficult to stop, maybe when I reach 3000 characters, I will stop and not type another word, I'm so close or I could continue and reach the glorious figure of 4000.

Enough with the joking around, its time to take thing seriously and add my social to this post, so you can all come and see my wonderful little images on instagram.

It counts spaces and well as letters and numbers, maybe I still just lean on the space bar to get this finished but would the be considered

cheating but then again what a little cheating between friends, we are all friends, here aren't we?

Well my wife has just come to ask, if I would like a cup of tea. The answer to that is always yes!

So it really is time to wrap this up, I've really come close to hitting the 4000, as they say "close but no cigar" I wonder, who first said that

was it someone famous.

Apparently from the practice of giving cigars as prizes at carnivals in the United States in the 20th century; those who did not win would fail to receive a cigar, even if they came close.

The End. Almost. Bye

This episode I talk to Wet Plate Collodion Photographer Shane Balkowitsch.

Shane reached out to me about coming on the podcast and knowing his work

I jumped are the chance to talk with him.

The conversation is close to two hours long and I did think about breaking it

down to two episode but I think that would ruin the flow of the conversation.

Just a small update about the podcast and where I hope to take it in 2021.
