"The Kodak camera makes possible a collection of photographs which record the life of its owner and which increase in value each day that passes."-- George Eastman "Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess."-- Edwin Land   In this episode, Antonio and Ward turn their attention to the endless pile of photographs that never make it past our phones. You know the ones—the cat sprawled on the couch, the hibiscus in morning light, the wing of the plane at sunrise. They’re not “keepers” in the traditional sense, not destined for printing or portfolios, but they accumulate all the same. Together they ask: are these photos practice, are they souvenirs, or are they just digital clutter taking up space? A conversation unfolds about the meaning of these unseen images and whether their value lies in being shared or simply in the act of making them. They wonder if this personal archive is the modern version of a junk drawer—messy, overflowing, yet somehow indispensable. Is the act of photographing enough on its own, even if nothing comes of it? By parsing out why we shoot so much and what those pictures mean, Antonio and Ward invite everyone to think about their own hidden collections and what role those quiet, everyday photos play in shaping how we see.   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!
