Jan 08, 2026Send us a text
Season 2 is here! I wanted to reintroduce myself, so you know who you are listening to. :) Photography has shaped me over the years, from the many types of cultural events I have captured. People of all cultures share love, family, and friendship, which make us all the same. The privilege of being the guy in the room with a camera has never been taken for granted. This job has given me more insights to humanity than any other job.

Dec 08, 2025Send us a text
Most photographers fail not because they can't shoot, but because they try to build their business like everyone else instead of leveraging what makes them unique.
The Camera Focus Method isn't another generic business course. It's the only system designed explicitly for how photographers think, work, and succeed.

I am always being asked how did you become 31 years in photography? What's the secret. The secret is actually very personal. I never thought being a photographer would give me a career that would support a wife and three kids in private schools. I believe life is what you make of it. If you get back what you show the world, what are you telling people about yourself? Let's talk about it.

Oct 15, 2025Send us a text
Walter Lyle is a photographer, YouTuber, and commercial filmmaker based in the Southeastern United States. I was intrigued by his YouTube videos that popped up on my feed because he is super relatable, likable, and filled with everyday common knowledge we all need about the photography world today. Neither of us cares about certain name brands because every tool has a purpose. This podcast introduction to Walter is educational, inspiring, and funny! He will definitely be a guest again in the near future. :)

We lost two legends this week, and I had to reflect on how they impacted my creative life. Rock and roll was an attitude I acquired when I was younger, and Ozzy had a lot to do with that. I grew up watching Malcolm on the Cosby Show and many other shows as the years have passed. Malcolm was only 54 years old when he passed, and I'm 53. This hits a little close to home. Mortality is something we all share, and what we do with it is what makes us creative humans. Rock th...
