About Life Between the Poles

Welcome to Life Between the Poles. This is a podcast about Photography and my obsessive hyper focused observations of humanity and how it intersects in my life. I'm a retired photojournalist and commercial photographer spanning 35 years but I do continue to shoot personal work with multiple digital and analog cameras. With this podcast their will be content that has nothing to do with photography but has every thing to do with how I interpret daily life around me. This podcast also has nothing to do with football goal posts but does deal with the glass half full and the glass half empty and everything in between. Thank You for listening!

   Gag Reflex and the Camera's Hot Flash

   Starting off at the gym with new observations of absolute astonishment. There's always new observations of interest you may find surprising and entertaining. I then move onto the purpose of the Podcast with my observation of recent trends in photography that demonstrate in my opinion laziness in the name of breaking away from norms of 20th century craftsmanship.
