After meeting and buying a tripod from Guillaume on Craigslist, I asked if he would be willing to join me for an episode to give some straight talk about photography.
My intent was to have a deep-dive tech talk, but he made me realize that before getting into the weeds, we needed to talk about photography from a holistic standpoint. What followed during our conversation was nothing short of incredible.
