The Beginner Photography PodcastDo You Have Gear Lust Or Photo Love#578 In this episode of the podcast, I deliver a thoughtful exploration into the emotional and psychological aspects that underlie the pursuit of photography. I dissect the difference between being infatuated with photography—often characterized by a focus on gear, novelty, and aesthetics (“lust”)—and a mature, enduring engagement with the craft, marked by sustained commitment and personal growth (“love”). Throughout the episode, I draw parallels between our relationships with people and with photography, making the argument that both require effort, patience, and vulnerability for genuine fulfillment. KEY TOPICS COVEREDLust vs Love in Photography...2025-07-0838 min
Welcome to the 411When Every Other Gift Fails, Love RemainsSend us a textLove stands as the believer's best gift, towering above all other spiritual endowments. While Christians often debate which spiritual gift carries the greatest value—whether tongues, prophecy, wisdom, or miraculous powers—the apostle Paul settles this age-old question with stunning clarity in 1 Corinthians 13.Examining this profound chapter reveals three essential qualities that establish love's supremacy. First, love is preeminent. Without it, speaking in the languages of men and angels becomes mere noise—"sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." Even possessing mountain-moving faith, prophetic insight, or sacrificial generosity amounts to nothing without love a...2025-05-0431 min

Three OG Coaches Talking Shop10. Healthy Client Love + Attachement10. Healthy Client Love + Attachment Lianne leads a rich and nuanced conversation about love and attachment. We go beyond popular ideas of an attachment style to talk about ‘agape’ - a Greek word for the love of fellow humans – to go beyond loving personality or behaviour and to love a person’s soul. When we think about the purpose of attachment – to grow us up into our human potential – how do we sit in this idea as coaches? What does love mean for us as coaches?

It’s about our relationships with each other and the environments we find ourselves in. What the photographer sees and what they’re able to inspire in the subject is what will be captured and there can be many dimensions to that single frame of time.

Regarding the low energy, other contributing factors include stuffy noses and the overwhelming solemnity of Columbus Day. (MLR denounces all forms of anti-Italian hate!) Pour yourself a glass of Nyquil and strap in. 2021-10-161h 09Must Love Raymond"Civil War" / "Mia Famiglia" (feat. Kevin)The episode you've all been waiting for. Unable to resist the prospect of discussing Ray Romano's sole (?) appearance in full Confederate regalia, former host Kevin returns to join Matt and Tim in their deconstruction of the 13th and 14th episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond's second season. Of course, by "deconstruction," we mean "multiple extended riffs on The Olive Garden" and an absolutely unforgivable amount of Italianese gibberish. Show a little respect to three wounded veterans of the Barone Civil War. 2021-09-051h 36Must Love Raymond"The Letter" / "All I Want for Christmas"The dog days of summer have descended upon the offices of Must Love Raymond, and the MLR crew turns in an appropriately sluggish and irritable performance. In this episode, Matt & Tim discuss the 11th and 12th episodes of Raymond Season 2: one of which Ray Romano himself considers the show's first "classic episode." Without bothering to cross-reference earlier installments of the podcast, this episode boasts the fewest number of audio drops in MLR history. Is the dialogue just that riveting?

Though the absolutely bulletproof nature of his contract renders this an empty threat, it is nonetheless a momentous occasion. What is it about the 9th and 10th episodes of Raymond's second season that drives Tim to such desperation? It may have something to do with "Funky Town."2021-07-061h 15Must Love Raymond"Working Late Again" / "The Children's Book" (feat. Kevin)Time flies when you're putting off watching Everybody Loves Raymond. In this installment, Matt and Tim are joined by the show's original co-host Kevin, who pleads shamelessly to be reinstated. Though most of that audio had to be cut for the sake of propriety, we were still able to piece together an hour-plus of analysis of episodes seven and eight of Raymond's second season. This episode is, for some reason, somewhat more vulgar than usual. Also, there is a crackling sound that crops up from time to time, due to the fact that Kevin was recording his part while...2021-06-121h 26

Because if a little kid says, "Mom, did you know that the moon is made of blue cheese?" Well, that's hardly a lie. And yet, it's something that's not true. Today Raymond gives his definition of a lie - it is a statement that's true or false. This is the definition of a lie, a statement that is true or false, that is intended to hurt, intended to injure. Here we talk about the three levels of misrepresentation: fraudulent, negligent, and innocent. 2021-06-0313 min
