When was the last time you knew you just nailed a shot as a photographer? Don’t you love that feeling? No notes just the pride in knowing that you crushed it. Of course, a year later I’m going to find something about it I don’t like but for now I’m just filled with pride in my photography!

What’s it like returning to the place you were born after 40 years away? I talk with James Choi about that experience, discussing his trip to Seoul, South Korea. Along the way, we touch on street photography, food, old and new converging, fear, and social interaction - as well as the book his photos are now a part of - Seoul Days and Nights! Be sure to tune in

Are you losing image quality because you’re using too high of an aperture? It’s possible. I call it Three Stooges Syndrome but it’s also known as diffraction. If you want to hear about it in depth check out my YT channel (link in profile) or do the homework I assign in this video!
