Do you ever wonder if sharing your art online is like throwing it into a cursed room where everyone hates themselves? In this episode, I tackle that existential crisis while my 78-year-old meditation-enthusiast dad calls in to remind us that age is just a number. Plus, a puppet named Carl Mudgen wants to know about my coffee habits, Brad wants to know how I approach lighting, Stuart wonders where I keep my photo books and I take Artur on a journey through my attempts to photograph everything from the Milky Way to the Northern Lights with a good old fashioned Astro photography slide show. This is madness!
