"It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera." -- Sebastiao Salgado

"I met somebody at the gallery. And he said to me, I own a photograph of yours. And when I get up in the morning, I look at it and it makes me happy. And I thought that was very nice. It meant I wasn't completely useless." -- Saul Leiter

Antonio kicks off this episode with a walk through the 2025 AIPAD Photography Show in Manhattan, talking about everything from classic Ansel Adams prints to wild experimental pieces that blur the line between photography and sculpture. He also shares a fun moment meeting David Scheinbaum from Scheinbaum and Russek Gallery — one of his favorite YouTube follows — and reflects on what kinds of photography really connects with him.

Ward jumps in with an update on his Japan photos, finding that after a little time away, the darker, moodier images he hoped for are starting to stand out. He and Antonio get into a great conversation about slowing down, letting your work breathe, and how fresh eyes can sometimes change everything you thought you knew about what you shot.

The show wraps up with some gear talk, including Antonio’s thoughts on how he’s planning to travel lighter for his move. They also get into instant film photography, with Antonio sharing his plans to hook up a Fuji Instax back to his large format cameras — including the Crown Graphic his dad gave him — and how different gear sparks different ways of seeing.

"I do not try to find myself in what I 'shoot,' but perhaps I want to see the position of the world I am in." -- Daido Moriyama

"Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts." -- Minor White

In this episode, Antonio and Ward catch up and talk about the trips they each took recently. Ward shares his experience traveling through Japan for eleven days, visiting Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Osaka. He talks about how he planned his photo approach ahead of time, but also how being in such a different place pushed him to adjust on the fly. There’s a lot about the feeling of being there—the quiet streets, the pace of the subway system, the powerful visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, and what it was like photographing during the peak of cherry blossom season.

Antonio then talks about a shorter but important trip he made to Lincoln, Nebraska. It was his first time flying in a long while, and also his first time seeing the place where he plans to move. He visited his girlfriend, met her kids and friends, and started to get a feel for the town and what life might be like there. He also made time to take some pictures and begin thinking about what kind of photography might come out of being in a new environment.
