Should you do a bridal show? What are some good bridal show hacks for vendors? What sort of expectations should you have going into a bridal show? Is Uncle Bob a worn out old term? What's the best location on a bridal show floor? Is it okay for a vendor to go to a bridal show as a guest and just spend time networking with other vendors, or should they stay away if they're not getting a booth? Do you give out cookies or candy to potential brides? If you're working a 9-5 and shooting on the side, and your employer asks you to do a photography shoot, how do you set boundaries so your employer doesn't take advantage of you and pay you less money than you're worth for your photography work?
Ep. #029 - Nicole Ashley And A Couple Garys (Valentine's Day Special)
In this special Valentine's Day episode, we invite Nicole Ashley onto the podcast to talk about her wedding and boudoir photography. Nicole tells us about her love of Nutella and coffee before talking a little more about her work, how she put together her team, how her team helps to get her clients comfortable for shoots, and how being on the other side of camera helped improve the way she shoots.
Ep. #028 - Feeding Photographers and the Crumby Boys
Ep. #027 - Extreme Wedding Photography and a Clustercuss
Our Trip to Sierra Leone - Video
Dustin and Steve talk a lot on the podcast about their trip to Sierra Leone. If you've been wondering what they did during that trip to Sierra Leone, check out this video they made below. They spent 8 days in Sierra Leone shooting photos and video every day. Then on the flight home Dustin edited all of the photos and Steve edited together this video. This was also the trip when Dustin first asked Steve if he'd want to do a podcast someday. I think we can all agree Dustin had no idea what he was getting himself into when he made that mistake.

Ep. #026 - DJI Mavic Pro vs. DJI Mavic Air & Photoshopping Acne
Dustin is on that H2O while Steve is drinking a Mad Hatter from New Holland. First topic is the new DJI Mavic AIR. We talk about a video Casey Neistat put out reviewing it. Then we talk about our thoughts about photoshopping acne and the couple that sent a 30 page critique to their photographer. Story on Petapixel. After that we talk about vendors illegally using photos in advertisements. Then we have a brief discussion about the Shoot and Share contest. Finally we do some Q&A and we answer a question about whether or not you should stay in a meeting with someone that yelled at you.
Ep. #025 - Fat Shaming Photographer & $10k Dick Pics
This week on the podcast, Steve's drinking a Trippel from New Belgium. First up, Steve cuts out a large segment because he gets squeamish about the use of a certain word. Which rarely happens... but well, everyone has their limits. Next up, we talk about a magazine that's charging vendors to do styled shoots in their venues, but then doesn't pay any of the vendors who help put on the styled shoot. Essentially, they've found a way to get paid to make content for their magazine, but they're not flagging it as an ad and they aren't paying anyone doing work for them. Dustin is doing the shoot. Steve is disgusted by this. I'm not going to dance around this in the show notes.

Ep. #024 - Filthy Car Fingers & New Cameras At CES
Ep. #023 - Straight Crushin' It & IPS
This week Steve's drinking a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale while Dustin's back on that clear liquid he always seems to drink. First up we discuss why we keep shooting weddings. Then it's on to talking about Instagram and a few changes that were made. Next up we talk about crediting people in your posts and whether or not you should watermark photos you allow other vendors to share. Then Steve shares an email he received and there's a brief discussion about whether or not it makes good business sense to describe yourself as crushing it in an initial email to a stranger.
Ep. #022 - Fortress of Solitaire (New Year Special)
New Year's resolutions for photographers and small business owners. Learning to fly. James Cameron movies. Bedazzled jackets and whoopee cushion marketing.

Next up we talk about whether or not we send Christmas cards to clients.
Ep. #020 - Wide Angle Distortion
First up we're drinking beer... Or at least Steve is. He's drinking a Necron 99 from Three Floyds. After that we jump into some follow up with an apology for not giving Dustin's weird bluetooth headphones a Kickstarter Failure spot. Then we talk about the bill the president signed into law making it so drones have to be registered even for recreational use. After that we talk about drone laws in the Dominican Republic.
Ep. #019 - Tom Cruise-y Boxes
We're talking vendors that try to do too much and Christmas gift ideas for photographers. Dustin's drinking a Budweiser while Steve is drinking either a Storm King or a Hop Lift... We didn't record that part this time so it's a little fuzzy. Questions from this recording are whether or not we use accountants for tax purposes and whether or not the apple watch is useful during events.
Ep. #018 - Steve's Mac Dies at the End
Steve and Dustin are back and hitting it hard after the holidays. First up, Steve's drinking an Oat Street Porter by Byway Brewing. After that we talk about our Thanksgivings and the photo gear we purchased on Black Friday. We talk a little bit about the sites we use to find the deals too, which are available to use year round and always helpful.
Ep. #017 - Diametrically Opposed Editing Styles
What are we drinking: Dustin's on that vodka he claims is water. Steve's drinking a Hop Lift from Third Street Brewhouse. Steve gives Dustin a geography lesson on Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Follow up: Looks like we don't have to do a ghost photo since no one cares. Also, Forever 21 stole our music (check out the ad at the link)
Ep. #016 - The First Annual Thanksgiving Special
It's our first annual Thanksgiving episode! In this special episode, Dustin and Steve talk about the ways we are blessed and then give thanks. It's a family friendly holiday event, assuming your family knows is comfortable with talk of aubergine photos. Next up we discuss what we're looking forward to buying come Black Friday. Dustin's all about those B&H deals.
Ep. #015 - Fluffy, Beautiful, And Long-Eared
On the podcast this week, Dustin's back on that vodka that he claims is just water. Meanwhile, Steve's drinking another great Indiana beer for a great Indiana man, a Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds.
After that Steve introduces a new segment, Follow Up (trademark John Siracusa). First up we revisit Dustin's negative Facebook reviews and Steve posits a new theory (which several listeners also wrote in to suggest, but they did it after he wrote it in the show notes, so no credit given). Then Steve revisits Windowed.io to nitpick one more thing he forgot to complain about the week before. After that we talk about the cheek-touch hug thing again and Steve shares his startling revelation. Then Steve pokes the bear by asking Dustin about his crappy website host and Dustin claps right back. Finally we put the ghost photo challenge to the listeners... Does anyone care? Seriously though, write us at
Ep. #014 - Professionals Dual Write
This week on the podcast Dustin is traveling and unable to get a beer up to his hotel room, so Steve's pulling all of his dead weight with a Dogfish Head Punkin Ale. Dustin's off enjoying the Niagara Falls, in down province Ontario. Then we talk about the app Windowed.io for posting photos to Instagram from your desktop computer. After that, Steve and Dustin talk Instagram hashtag strategy.
Ep. #013 - Professional Fat Ass Card Stock With Special Guest Micala McClain
This week Steve was too sick to record, so special guest Micala McClain of 604 Studios joined Dustin on the podcast to talk about dealing with the craziness of fall... Without Steve, there was no beer consumption or beer talk, so it's straight into the photography stuff. They talk about handling the crazy that is fall and discuss why people are obsessed with fall.
