thanks for that link. i was just looking at the “best of” lists for their individual photographers, so this fits in with that.
although that rodeo picture makes me mad, and not in a good way.
In the spirit of constructive criticism which we know you both embrace: if you guys are serious about the podcasting, fix your levels, your mike setup, or whatever else is making Matt loud and Ryu quiet. This is basic. We can hear Matt; we can’t hear Ryu nearly as well, so we’re fiddling with the volume all the time. Right now, the audio is a throwaway.
thanks for taking the time to write in. we are working to resolve this issue and apologize for the inconvenience.
Great show guys. Have just started right from episode 1 so now on episode 9. Just wondered if and when you have interviewed a photographer specialising in Motorsport. Someone like Darren Heath or Jakob Ebray would be awsome. Looking forward to getting all caught up on the episodes. Keep up the great work. Dave.
Poppycock
