The conversation covers a range of topics, including the influence of social media on self-diagnosis, the changing landscape of education, and the challenges of wedding photography. The hosts also discuss their dream photography partners and the weirdest objects they have used to get the perfect shot. Overall, the conversation explores the intersection of photography, social media, and personal identity. In this conversation, Daniel Agee and Sam Hurd discuss various topics related to photography, including inspiration from test videos and movies, influential directors and styles, time travel for a photo shoot, photographing fictional characters, photography myths, and photographing a solar eclipse.

Discussing cameras and launching products, Sam and Daniel have a nice little time.

Daniel and Sam once again discuss the pain of creating things, cameras, and focusing.

Daniel started the Glass YouTube Channel and won't stop making bad jokes about it. Sam politely puts up with it. Definitely do not like and subscribe to Glass's YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@tryglass), it'll go to Daniel's head.

Daniel is back from vacation and fully rejuvenated. Mostly. Kinda. He recounts that rejuvenation to Sam before they dive into the naming process they used for created the Insight name.

Daniel and Sam briefly talk about why Nikon randomly gets so much hate over Canon, but using that as the title because SEO is real. Sorry, not sorry.

Daniel and Sam share a nice, cozy episode of cameras, weddings, deliverables, and how things are just too good now.

What would your remixed version of your photography be? What's that's look like? Well, Daniel has got the questions and Sam has got the answers. Oh, and Dad Rock music recommendations.

Buckle up — Daniel and Sam cover a lot of ground to make up for last week's single topic.

Daniel comes to Sam with a problem — a secret problem. 50 minutes later, it remained unsolved but the vibes improved greatly between the start and finish. So there's that, which is nice. If you listen/watch this episode, you're binding yourself to the Endless Appreciation Super Secret Handshake rules of keeping secrets.

As you listen to this episode, you'll find out what it's about at the same time as Daniel does. In that, he forgot to write the notes and now is just writing words to fill space. Think of it as a mild mystery.

Daniel and Sam talk consistency in their photography and how cameras are just too gosh darn sharp these days.

Daniel and Sam talk about reaching consistency in their work, how to not judge past work by present skill, and camera deal breakers.

Daniel has one quick question for Sam before they get started — "Why do you take photos?" — oh, whoops, the episode is over.

Daniel and Sam talk about the Glass Meetups and the projects and the things. Oh, and also the stuff. Photography? It's mentioned.

Talking about some apps and some photos and just a general episode where nothing — oh, right, Daniel and Sam shot a wedding.

Sam and Daniel talk through when to buy a new camera or when to sell an old camera and creating single images versus whole bodies of work. Oh, and Daniel talks through the new Glass Feature Patron real quick, right at the end. You know, in case we had to cut it.

Sam held a workshop and demo'ed his new AI-assisted inspiration tool for the first time. Daniel shot a wedding and an event and now has too much camera gear in his cart. A tale as old as time.
