Happy New Year ISP Nation! I'm very excited to publish the very first episode of the year, hoping to record regularly for all of 2025 and beyond! In this episode, I discuss the problems that I am having with working 100% in the creative space, and how it has taken away from the pleasure of shooting street (or any other type of photography) for personal enjoyment. Please let me know where in the world you're from in the comments! I appreciate you!

In today's episode, we have a deep and heated discussion about a photograph of a cat that I posted on a prominent international street photography Facebook page, and their decision to reject it because "animal photography is not street photography". The cat was captured in the context of an old medieval town in the beautiful region of Abruzzo, where I grew up as a young lad. I expand on the context of the photo in my podcast discussion, but I would love to get your perspective on the matter. Ple...

At the beginning of October 2023, I will be heading to Europe with my daughter, and we will be spending three beautiful weeks visiting England, France, and Italy!

Photography is one thing, but once you start introducing video into the mix, then things get a bit more complex. Well, that's what I am here to discuss on today's show, so let's talk!
