Halfway to Maybe

Society EN ↓ 96 episodes

Halfway to Maybe (formerly Reflections) is a series of spoken observational pieces shaped by a life behind the camera, behind the microphone, and in creative spaces between. Drawing on years spent observing people, places, and moments, each episode shares a single thought or theme about creativity, work, and the way ordinary days unfold. This podcast isn't about photography as a craft. It's about the way we notice things, make sense of our days, and carry ideas around with us.
