Gen-X Photography

In this episode I update you as to why it's been so long since I've released an episode. I also talk about a fantastic duo of a camera and lens - the Nikon EL2 and the Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 macro.

I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I had the privilege to chat with Adam English, a professional photographer, professional film lab technician, as well as a body builder. We chatted all things analog and digital, his advice for novice portrait shooters, and his work as a lab technician, among other things.

In this episode, Julienne, Suzanne, and I catch up on what we've been doing. Julienne has been in a photographic funk, which is normal for a lot of people. Suzanne has set up her own photo studio. I've compulsively continued to shoot 35mm SLR cameras, where I feel at home. I also make a faux pas, as you'll hear, when I give a correction to Julienne about the Long Trail here in VT, which I regret. But we had a good discussion. Hope you all enjoy, and thank you Julienne and Suzanne, for being my wonderful cohosts!
