In this episode, I’m joined by Paul Combs of the C&C Geekcast. We talk video games, DLC and in-app purchases, and how the loot crate economy is creating the next generation of addicted gamblers. 
In a lighter note, we also chat about my experience shooting with two new cameras, the Olympus EM10 Mark III and the Lomography Instant Square.

In this episode, we sit down with street photographer, photojournalist, and teacher, Mason Resnick. Mason studied street photography, in 1976, with Garry Winogrand, considered one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Since that time he’s covered over 3 decades of photography as an editor at various industry magazines, teacher, and street photographer. 

We also talk about digital vs. film photography, the effects of Instagram on photography, and his latest project TLV18: Photos of Tel Aviv, a photo book created during his most recent trip to Israel and the process of creating a project like this one.

Alberto and Paul are back after a short month off. Life happens, but they’re back to give you a quick mid-year review of the tech that they’re most interested in for 2018. There’s still a lot of 2018 left, but between now and the new year, here’s what we’ve got our eyes on. 

In this episode, Paul manages to keep his cool as Alberto’s allergies plot to render him unable to coherently speak. When not choking, we manage to discuss a movie nearly a decade in the making – Avengers: Infinity War. We talk about the ethics (or lack thereof) behind Google’s Duplex AI bot, and Uber’s self-driving software killed a woman and no one seemed to care.

After recovering from the plague, Alberto is back with co-host Paul Combs of the C & C Geekcast to chop it up and discuss ZTE and Huawei leaving the US mobile phone market, the aftermath of the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal, and we make early predictions in the Infinity War death pool.
