Hey there! Last night’s show was unofficially sponsored by Jameson and it was a blast. We looked at your black and white (and monochrome) shots and got some amazing ones. Thanks for watching and (attempting) to submit. If you want to know why you’d convert to black and white, read my blog post on it here.
We get into the photo reviews quickly, starting here:
- street motion
- “cash me off guard” No, Tony.
- boots on the ground
- portrait
- “I don’t know what he’s about to do, but it’s gonna be dangerous, right?”
Happy birthday Kyle Wolfe! And wow, Rod, thanks for the booze! We need to do things that upset people and make them send us alcohol more often.
A bit of photo news:
- you can post multiple photos on Instagram in one post
- Sigma announced 4 new art lenses which we’re excited about
Over to me for some questions:
- how do you feel about color photography for street photos? Totally fine.
- any technical advantage to shooting in b&w verses converting in post? Not technically, but there’s an advantage to doing it to teach yourself to see in black and white.
Back to your photos:
- sport portrait
- Chelsea coined “the devil’s candy”
- “I don’t like people being happy in tunnels“
- guy on a cliff
- “you don’t feel like there was just too much white in there?” “I feel that about a lot of things, but not this picture.”
- much talk about the coliseum and aqua battles
- stair case
- “damn, sexual selection at work”
- snow
- selfie
- pigeons
- Tony trolls the nerds
- scared baby “she had a scary dream about a wiener dog” “it’s a common nightmare”
- bridge
Time for chit-chat! Our favorite part of the show where you are mean, or correct us a bunch, or say something dumb and we reply for some reason.
- that’s great, Howard. Also, “nit-pickery.”
- very disappointed in baby Jesus
- married or brother and sister? Why not both?
- “but unfortunately he chose a country that hasn’t existed for several decades.” “That sounds like a terrible, creepy way to separate yourself from your brain.”
Time to review portfolios! Justin picks one for us. “Dr. Fear Co.” Good, good golden-doodle. Good layout, just flesh it out a bit. Put a name and photo of yourself on the contact page.
Then Greg Noel’s portfolio. Lovely shots, nice layout, very well done! Take out the repeats, get rid of the watermarks. Canadian mummers.
Okay, at minute 48 the audio and video go wildly out of sync for some reason! So I’m going to end this recap here, but to make up for it, we’ll be doing a bonus live show on Monday! So keep an eye out for that. Thanks folks!
They both did the “Jamie” full justice. I hope you got a taste of it Siobhán, – I’m already investigating a third bottle for you and you alone, if that’s ok ?
Even with a couple of scoops under their belts, and being fairly mellow, they were still insightful and professional when it came to photo critique and advice, as well as being witty as hell.
A Siobhán specific joke at 25:15 ? “too much white in there…” as a pasty faced Celt I think I can dig it… 😉
Justin’s knowledge of aqua battles is admirable!
Chelsea’s knowledge of the goings on at the colosseum and the Super Bowl is eh, disturbing !
Tony mentioned the two essential things you need on a staircase: a slinky and a lady in a gown. 28:40 ish
” Darth Cowboy” 33:35 for all the Trekkies ! Brilliant !
There was a moment, around 41:45 when Chelsea took Tony’s hand while he was explaining the Jugoslavia
incident and I found it very moving. He clearly felt he’d upset someone and wanted to set it right. Bravo.
Watching Chelsea, I got a flash of the song by the 90s band Texas called “Halo”:
“… she wears a halo, we really do adore her, she has a halo….” 🙂
Justin’s Doctor Noel mix-up with Dr.Fear and Tony’s reaction was pure gold at 42:00 ish
The whole “door holding open issue” was an eye opener for me. I never thought about it from the holdee’s point of view. 😉 . On the other end of the spectrum, watch the scene in Midnight Cowboy when Dustin Hoffman and John Voight are crossing a New York street and a taxi tries to run them over – totally unscripted ! “… I’m walkin’ here !!! shouts Hoffman, still in character. 😉
They say that you can see a person’s true character when they’re drunk. If so, then Chelsea and Tony are both funny, likeable, generous and courageous people, who with the help of Justin and yourself do a bit of good in the world.
Here endith the sermon.
Thanks for the call-out btw. Fun show, can’t wait for the next one 🙂
Regards,
