To celebrate a year of Photocombobulate, we’re coming back to where we started by talking about the joy of photography.

To celebrate one year of Photocombobulate, we discuss joy and how we find it in photography. It’s easy to lose sight of the reasons we originally picked up a camera, and from time to time it’s important to ask ourselves if there’s joy in our process. This episode is all about re-centering our focus and appreciating the things about photography that fulfill us. If you are one of our long-time listeners, we thank you for sticking with us for a trip around the sun. If you are new to Photocombobulate, stick around because we’re just getting warmed up.
