ANNOUNCEMENT Starting January 6, 2026, I’m launching my first podcast: ShotoniPhone.Camera — a weekly, 12-episode series about seeing, shooting, and living photographically with the world’s most popular camera. No scripts. No ads. No bullshit. Just honest, authentic conversations about the craft of iPhone photography—how we see, what we feel, and why we shoot. Episodes will alternate between solo reflections and interviews with fellow shooters, artists, and creative thinkers. Each will drop on Mondays, running under 45 minutes. Recorded on Zoom (video and audio) so you can listen on Spotify or watch on YouTube. Because photography is visual, and we should see what we’re talking about. Season One: “The Capture Season” January 6, 2026 — 1 Million iPhone Photos (and Counting) Fourteen years, one camera, and everything it’s taught me.
