This week we've got the man himself, Mike Kukavica on the pod! Clayton has gas in more ways than one, and I'm just here for the ride.  I want to write out long and informative show notes for this one, but it's three hours long and we talk about a lot of topics.

If you dig the show, and want to reach out, or do a call in, or come on and talk, reach out to us!

Well, it's been two months, but Clayton and I are back together.  Not a lot covered here, just two buddies catching up and talking about cameras and traveling, and a little bit about hurricane Helene.  

We're doing a giveaway, again!

Send us an email, we'd love to hear from you!

All right ya'll!  Clayton and I were going to record a podcast tonight, but he got caught saving a kitten out of a tree, because he's an angel that fell from heaven, so my dear friend JC Hayes jumped in and helped!

Disclaimer, JC and I are both a little depressed, Helene happened, other shit happened, we'll get to it.  This may be more of a therapeutic podcast for JC and I than anything, but please, you're welcome to listen.

There's some new music in the episode, you'll also find out why.  Two tracks before the end were produced by Brycon.  Brycon was beyond kind enough to let me and my family spend weeks at his pad in San Francisco after Helene.  Support him, support his music.

My Guest, and co-host is JC Hayes, the man behind Asheville darlings Doc Aquatic. He's also an avid film shooter, and just all around nice guy.  We're going to premier a new solo track of his at the end "It's Too Late"

I will also be doing a solo episode to talk a little more about Helene, and post some call in's from photographers in the area about the hurricane.  Then, Clayton and I will be back on our bullshit.

Thanks for listening, as always, and please follow me, JC and Clayton.  You can also send us an email, all that information is...

Joe and Clayton come back from our Vacations, and get an episode recorded before Clayton goes on another vacation.

We recap our travels, Clayton to Chicago, and then the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  Joe on his 40th birthday trip to Oaxaca City Mexico.

We had a lot of fun, thanks for asking.  We talk about cameras, and film, and things like that, we hope you like it.

I tacked a "Solo" bit at the end of the episode that I recorded walking around Oaxaca City.

We read a letter from one of our Fans!

We give away a Yashica Electro GSN!

Clayton left town in the middle of the night, no one has heard from him, his wife is scared.  Clayton, if you see this, come home!  You are missed.

Just kidding, he's in Chicago, and will be for 7 or 8 days, then I'm heading out of the country on Tuesday, so we will not be making a podcast for minute.  This is just a little solo show, to talk about some things!

Holla at us!

Joe and Clayton take a trip to Atlanta to shoot film! They don't wind up shooting too much film though, but they do meet up with Mike Kukavica of the "Negative Positives Film Photography Podcast", Joe buys some film from Bill Manning of Atlanta Film Co. and general hilarity ensues. This was recorded on the drive back to Asheville, we're still trying to use microphones.  The music in the podcast is written and recorded by Mike Gutterman, and our socials are as follows

We're back on our bullshit, Clayton is back in the states.  This doesn't go off the rails as fast, but it still does.

No shit, this podcast is 3 hours long.

We get a call in from my dear friend Brittany Hale, not that she knew that was going to happen.

The reason the podcast exists, MIKE GUTTERMAN has been gracious enough to bless us with an appearance! We talk about life, some photography, and a lot of shit. 

We also joined by friend of both shows, Mike Williams, who graciously recorded an intro for us for this very special episode. 

The music under under that intro is from Gutterman’s band Sea Hero.

Clayton is back from Dragon Tales, I guess he wasn't doing opium, but reading to children in need, because he's an angel that fell from heaven.

I'm at the tail end of a rocking flu

Mike brings the camera talk!

Next week we're raffling off that camera!

Well, that was a lot of fun.  Clayton is off in a den in west Asheville "Chasing the Dragon" so we brought on @billsanfordjr of the "Music and Photography" Podcast, and the "Negative Positives Film Photography Podcast"

Straight out the gate I think he recognized I needed an adult, because he jumped right in and started interviewing me.

We laughed, we cried,  we didn't say anything negative about Cleveland Ohio, and! We played a call in from our favorite aussie Keir Frei!

Enjoy y'all

Hey All, first off, the call in audio quality of this one isn't too great, not quite sure why, working out the kinks.

Joe and Clayton record a podcast on Clayton's porch, after shooting some film at a rodeo.  

Joe showed up at the rodeo a little late, and only saw about 30 minutes, but that's fine.
