I love this post! I opened it hoping for a mix of 80s rap, and finished it even more satisfied! Congrats on your growing community, and camera collection. I’m right there with you on that addiction 😁

Dang!! Thanks so much, Jennifer! It was such a fun post to put together, to give props to my photography buddies on the platform and get into stuff outside of photography a bit.

Oh yeah, the addiction is bad haha.

Love this quarterly round-up! I’ll have to give that music a listen later, definitely seems like it could be something that interests me based on your description.

And thanks for the mention, it’s truly appreciated!!

Of course, dude. I love your stuff, it was easy to recommend you.

Yeah it’s a great book, I feel you on the Amazon shit, shop local as often as possible. Photo books make it hard though, I can never find anything I want locally or sometimes even nationally.

Above all, I gotta say how dang classy this post is. I love the mixtape theme and structure that you put into this. It worked so well and it just clicks for substack. Super classy.

Also, honored to be linked. Cheers man. Nothing is better than when the buying slows down and the shooting speeds up. Looking forward to seeing shots!!

Thanks, brother! It was super fun to put together and give shout outs to Substack homies.

Yeah, like you were saying, it’s that time of year where shooting has become super desirable so my output will finally pick up. Hopeful to the point where I can post more than once a week haha.

Dude, of course!

Thanks!! It’s amazing what pressure will push your brain to do, haha. At the start of the weekend I had a completely different post in mind that was not coming together…so I reapproached and this came out of it. Pretty happy with the results.

Same here, man!

Thanks, Razlyn! It was a lot more work to put a post like this together than I imagined it would be, haha. So glad you enjoyed it.
