Ep. #081 - Dealing with Double Dipping Deposits
Detective Dustin is back on the case. This time he's investigating the case of the double dipping deposits and taking a look at a twin dilemma. We're also exploring the difference between a content creator and a creative, why it's so frustrating when clients ask to see a full gallery in the venue in which they are getting married, and whether or not you need to say if a photo is from a styled shoot as opposed to a real wedding.

Ep #068 - How To Get Your Lens On
This week the podcast was edited by Dustin. Please, direct all your comments about the editing directly to him.
Come experience the fresh hell that Dustin put me through this week. It's an entire episode with a focal point on gear talk. It's terrible. Or at least I think it is. In Dustin's words:
This week we cover all things lenses. From start to finish, how wide is too wide, how shallow is (steve) too shallow. You get it.

We're talking about Photoshop for the iPad, Yongnuo's Mirrorless Camera, Yongnuo Flashes, Godox Flashes, Shooting with Sony, and also expressing milk while shooting a wedding (something none of us are really qualified to talk about, but whatever).
