Tulips, Tripods and helpful tools



Jack and John discuss a wide range of topics in this podcast, touching on how to be creative in a popular location with tons of tourists and photographers, are tripods really necessary any longer and some recent news shaking up the camera industry. Plus, a lively discussion from a listener suggestion about where to spend our disposable income, on gear or on experiences / developing our craft. And, we share a few of the lesser known accessories that we use when we’re out in the field.

Interview with Mark Lewis from Prograde Digital



Jack and John interview Mark Lewis from the ProGrade Digital Inc. Prograde specializes in professional quality memory cards and workflow accessories for photography and video. Mark has been in marketing for over 20 years and part of that time was spent at SanDisk where he built the consumer marketing organization when it was an OEM-focused company and then most recently he was at Lexar running marketing for that organization.

The idea for ProGrade Digital started back in 2017 when the market for NAND flash started to tighten and manufacturers shifted focus from the removable storage market in favor of their enterprise business.  A core team of people from Lexar, that also built the business at SanDisk, decided to take their passion for this market and focus on the professional end of the market. – thus the name, ProGrade Digital. Listen in as Mark talks about the history, technology and future of ProGrade Digital and how it could benefit your photography or video projects.

Being A Professional Photographer



Jack and John discuss the ups and downs of being a professional photographer.  Long days on the road, endless paperwork, relentless marketing needs, government bureaucracy, certifications, permits and the list goes on and on.  Working with people and teaching photography in amazing places is a dream job, however, there is also a lot of un-glamorous work behind the scenes that most people don’t see.   Tune in for a glimpse in to what it takes to be a professional workshop leader/photographer.
