  • Buying Used Gear: Is the Nikon D750 Worth It in 2021?
    Mar 6 2021

    This episode focuses on whether or not the Nikon D750 is worth the money in 2021, but the ideas can be applied more broadly to used gear that's a few years old. YouTube and Twitter can make you think that if you don't have the newest releases then your gear is worthless, but remember those videos and tweets are being made for SEO and clicks and views.

    Used gear is totally worth it as long as you know what you're going to use it for and what it's capable of. In this episode I'll talk about the autofocus, image quality, and video features of the Nikon D750 to help you decide if that's a viable option for you.

    Thanks for listening!

  • 3 Reasons Why You're Procrastinating
    Feb 27 2021

    I struggle with procrastination a lot, and it makes me feel like I'm just lazy leading on to feeling worthless. I dunno if you're lazy or not, but there's more reasons for procrastination than that, and you should be aware of them and how to overcome them, and that's what this episode is all about.

    You’ve got to get it done, whatever “it” is, but you keep putting it off, feeling entirely unmotivated. Procrastination is a deadly barrier to creativity, so let’s look at three reasons we procrastinate and solutions to overcoming them.

  • What I Learned Photographing a 5k in Harsh Sunlight
    Aug 19 2019

    I photographed the first 5k to Fight Human Trafficking held at my alma mater Cornerstone University. It was organized by a friend I met there, Katie McNabb (who was also a guest on the show), and a couple of her friends.

    This was an event to raise funds for their former youth pastor who’s now a missionary in Thailand with an organization that works to free people, mostly young girls, from being trafficked and sold, so I was glad to be a part of it.

    This is another event where I’ve been trying to learn to take photo and video at the same time, still struggling with getting proper exposure. Another new thing that I tried for this was shooting with two bodies during the race.

    These were both good experiences, but I want to help you bypass the hard parts with what I learned from this experience. Take a listen and level up!
