## Resource

Today, on Dial and Aperture, Morgan and Nacho discuss the challenges of a less-is-more approach to watch photography. Minimalism can be appealing, but it comes with its own unique set of challenges and considerations. Before getting into it, they catch up on recent events, including Morgan’s quest for inspiration and Nacho’s impending move to Germany. Finally, they wrap things up with Snapshots, featuring a new film and a recommendation for a great YouTube channel for photography tips.
