## Resource

In this chit chat photography podcast episode, I talk about Don McCullin and the emotional cost of photography, including war photography, ethics, and the long-term impact of witnessing trauma through images. I also reflect on film photography, shooting film weddings, creative burnout, and why real, honest photographs still matter. This episode is for photographers who want a deeper conversation about intention, longevity, and the weight photography can carry.
