Where do I start? How about the reality of bathroom time for anyone living the actual van life? The Pentax 110 and the hipster connection. My rocketing to fame, or not, and the reasons behind that. Oh, I'm getting an XT4.(wink, wink) Yes, YouTube is about softcore porn and the shameless pander and now I'm all in on this concept. And what happens when I end up in a bush plane in Alaska.

Take the plug out and load all seven rounds, my friends. You are going to need all you can get to brave this little jaunt through the random thoughts of my brain. Jean shorts, amateur photography books, the dangers of listening to ANYONE online in regard to photography and the reality that comes with work with most "influencers." We also talk Trump nation and I reveal what I've discovered about hi...

What a week. Strange days indeed, but let me fill you in on the photography industry and the need to keep most people conformed and complacent. I retell three transitional periods in my life and the response from fellow photographers and the industry itself. We also talk about YouTube niche heaven, two in particular, that are worth your time. And, we talk Jarod Kushner, David Pakman, and CNN but n...

Please listen till the second to last point, at least. The second to last point is the most important aspect of this episode, where I ask you for your opinion about how I could help improve life in New Mexico. I need your help and I need your mind. Also, I don't mean help with the virus. I mean post virus. I'm so game to get involved here and I don't comprehend how. By the way, the last point is a...

This is a good one, at least I think so. Lots to talk about. A missing hero, another tragic example of modern photography, my familiarity with antimalarial drugs, the city of Utrecht and their brilliant anti-car city as well as a mention of Per Anders Jorgensen and why he makes sense. But also, what happened when I found a copy of Life Magazine from 1996. Jesus, how far we have photographically fa...

A loaded lineup this week. New camera gear, the concept of hope, a brief touch on the virus situation, a few tales from my newspaper past and a variety of other morsels of critical data.

Back again with tales of the Waco standoff, non-pros telling non-pros what pros do, our hero of the week and many, many other topics. The question isn't why listen? The question is how can you not?

A great week. Here, politics, photography and a few stories that will hopefully make you laugh cry or ponder your own utility. What happened when someone mistook me for Brad Pitt? Why do we isolate the elderly and why do I tend to judge people before I know them? I don't have answers people, mostly questions, but have a look and have a listen.

Back again with a new hero, the single most important thing you can do as a photographer, the rewarding minefield of CBD and how I acquired my first Leica.

Back again with hits on topics like street photography, YouTube pandering and my weekly taste of why we should all abandon social media. Not to mention I tell the tale of shooting in a sewer underneath the US/Mexico border. What's not to like? Turn in and turn on.

I'm back with a new hero, a short but puzzling ask in regard to politics, my new mic setup, the pro vs non pro argument and I've also added a long story about the moment I went from being a photojournalist to a documentary photographer.

Me again. Knocking off episodes like a college kid at nickel beer night. You should be impressed. This week we hit a new hero, we talk the life and death of Austin, binaural microphones, teaching workshops, the anti-tech movement, the idea of going vegetarian and I also provide some of the best marriage advice you will ever find. Wait, there's more? Seriously? How about the stunted visual proficie...

Back again with yet another episode that nobody asked for. We hit politics, cameras, reading, social media, chaos and the idea of shifting your brain waves from Alpha and Beta to Theta and Delta. It's doable people. All you gotta do is listen.

Back with another episode covering a weekly hero, a look at corporate media in the two-party era, Dan's new camera and the demise of the world in the age of over culture. Have a look, have a listen.

Too many topics to cover in one podcast. Far too many. There are so many interesting, repulsive, idiotic and miraculous things happening it is impossible to NOT comment. So let's get started. Politics? Yes, briefly but it's mandatory at this point. I also check in with TWO new heroes of the week, the potential of my next laptop, the allure and reality of a messy life, Star Wars and my dismay at th...

Back with another episode. This time we talk Republican opportunity, the demise of fall colors at the hands of the Instagram masses, the Fuji 50r, NOT going pro as a photographer and many more savory subjects.

Back with another installment of the podcast that nobody asked for. This week we have a new hero, we talk environmental history, revisionist history and the fact that much of what is happening now has been happening since we first land on North American soil. And we talk amateur vs professional photography. Go get em.

So, a loaded lineup. We have a new, weekly hero, we talk football and tennis, but not from the angles you might think, and we also touch on corporate malfeasance vs the common good. And we also hit multi-year photography projects and the danger of sharing those projects in the modern world. And we also talk about my recent, staggering success on YouTube and what it means to be truly great. (Hint,...

Stafford Squier is the new Vice President of the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and someone with a diverse background in the professional photography industry.

I'm back with a new lineup of random topics. My hero of the week, an AG23 update, the hypocrisy of meat-eaters who hate hunting, greed in America and my new video series about photography. Have a listen.

Dispatches returns with mega-interview Ross Whitaker. Photographer, traveler, and owner of one incredible photographic career. I wanted to do this interview for years. This is part one. There will be more.

A long take this week. We've got a loaded lineup this week people. First up, another lie about newsletters. A bit more about my Patrick Swayze obsession. Then we hit up the pros of cons of the Julian Assange situation, a recap of my recent nightmare involving tigers, a description of my time at a Catchlight portfolio and your thoughts on online photography education. Finally, I hit on National Geo...

My children. I know, I've been remiss. My life is upside down at the moment, in both positive and negative ways, but I'm back with another episode. We talk hero talk with Laura Poitras and Alex Trebek. We talk Fuji medium format cameras and we definitely talk the greatest actor of my generation. And finally, we hit something about observation changes on Earth.

Episode Seven covers Edward O. Wilson, AOC, juicy statistics about American consumerism, Zuma Photo Agency and my latest project.

Episode Six of the podcast no one asked for.
