Episode 5 — Intentionality

What does it actually mean to create with purpose? In this episode, Noe and Larry get into the conversation creatives avoid... the difference between making work and making meaningful work.

They talk about why passion alone isn’t enough, what it looks like when your art exists beyond the algorithm, and how to find your quiet space in a loud content landscape.

Because your work is bigger than your metrics, and it deserves to live like it.

Not a Photo Podcast — conversations beyond the frame.

You built the brand. You curate the feed. But is any of it actually you? Can you showcase who you truly are and still build an audience? Do the people want the curated image or do they want the real you?

When keep it real goes wrong.

Noe and Larry are back catching up, and it gets honest fast.

Where are we with Larry’s grant.

Noe not wanting to pick up the camera... Anhedonia from the GLP1s?

Then the social media conversation nobody wants to admit to. We’re not feeling it right now. But here’s the real question: is it the platform, or is it posting into the void?

And AI. It’s not going anywhere. So what’s it gonna be, fight it or figure it out?

Between Burnout and Breakthrough

One host is stuck. One is building toward his next exhibition. We get honest about where we actually are creatively and why that gap between burnout and breakthrough is harder to close than it looks.

We talk social media, the real pros and cons of using it to land clients, the noise, the competition, and what it costs you creatively.

Two photographers, talking about photography....

This is Not a Photo Podcast.

First episode and we’re already all over the place. Noe and Larry talk about starting the podcast, Noe almost goes off on a photographer (you won’t hear it), and Larry talks about getting a grant from the city of Austin. From there it spirals into The Backrooms, fear, ghosts, and whether any of this is even real.
