“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.”

– Imogen Cunningham

"Life is my subject matter."

– Trent Parke

Happy New Year, Everyone!

So, in this end-of-year episode, Antonio and Ward just sit down and have a really thoughtful, easygoing chat about everything that stuck with them over the past year—photographers who left an impression, creative shifts in their own work, and the bigger conversations happening in the world of photography. It’s not like a bullet-point rundown or anything, more of a natural back-and-forth about what resonated with them and why. They dive into how certain photographers made them pause and think, how their own styles have evolved over time, and, of course, the growing presence of AI in photography—especially how it’s starting to change conversations around authenticity and the meaning behind an image.

They also touch on this balance between preparation and spontaneity, you know, how planning can really shape your creative process, but also how important it is to leave space for those unexpected moments to surprise you. Overall, it’s just a super relaxed, honest conversation with a mix of curiosity and reflection as they try to make sense of the year and think about where things might be headed next.
