Congratulations on this great interview. I really enjoyed the structured, intelligent, and in-depth questioning that I might expect from a great lawyer. Further, your enthusiasm was clearly felt by Mr. Grimes who responded with enthusiasm and intelligence, his claim to not being very intelligent notwithstanding.
Thanks for this great interview!
Thank you very much for this podcast! Joel Grimes is my favorite photographer! I love his LIT UP series as well! This podcast was a great listen and I love his ease of explaining and practicality as well as his experimenting to find new things. He’s humble and an excellent photographer to strive to be like both in quality and professionalism!

Sun, Moon and Planets rising and setting times well as a live depiction of the sky in any direction at any time. With this you can tell where the Milky Way will be located in the sky on any future (or past) date.
I felt like the format was good, but only because it was the same as another podcast – “Shoot For Thrill.” I also miss Dustin in the original format, so even though it was a great interview, the IP podcast has been lacking.
