Joining our affair this week is Aaron Martinez.  He is a staff photographer at the Austin American-Statesman, part of the USA Today network, a licensed drone pilot, and an advanced hobbyist landscape and nightscape photographer. Born and raised in El Paso, Texas where he also went to college to study digital media production and multimedia journalism.

 

In this chat about The Decisive Moment we discuss:

  • Is "the decisive moment" an actual moment?
  • Aaron's perspective as a photo journalist
  • Why it's important in all aspects of creativity

"It sounds like the decisive moment isn't necessarily the final place, it could be a step along the way." -Aaron Martinez

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
