"Self-discovery through a camera? I am scared to look for fear of discovering how shallow my Self is!" -- Minor White
"The voyage of discovery lies not in finding new landscapes but in finding new eyes." -- Marcel Proust
Antonio checks in from Lincoln, Nebraska after making the big move from Brooklyn. He shares the details of packing his life into a neon pink moving truck, driving cross-country with two cats dosed on gabapentin, and figuring out how much actually fits in a Chrysler Pacifica. He talks about the weirdness of seeing his old apartment empty, the relief of arriving without any real disasters, and the first impressions of settling into a new city that feels nothing like New York.
He and Ward talk about what it means to photograph in a completely new environment: wide open roads instead of tight city blocks, and how that might change what you look for through the viewfinder. Antonio describes plans to explore local subjects, from the Capitol building to abandoned structures, and discusses wanting to find a personal approach that doesn’t just imitate what’s already been shot. They also get into practical matters—like unpacking gear, integrating cats into the new house, and figuring out how to carve out space for photo books and editing work.
Ward offers advice on photographing new places, suggesting ways to start with familiar landmarks before finding details that stand out. There’s also some gear talk, including Antonio’s first impressions of the Fuji X-Half camera waiting for him in Lincoln, and discussion of plans to try street fairs, local art shows, and maybe even some night-sky photography. It’s an episode about changing scenery without feeling like you need to change who you are as a photographer, and about settling in while figuring out what’s next.
