Welcome to Creative Banter, a creative and philosophy focused podcast where anything goes. I’m your host, Cody Schultz. Joining me is the one and only Ben Horne. Each week, we sit down to discuss something to do with photography, whether it be our feelings toward the film versus digital dichotomy or how our creativity is affected by our individual photographic approaches. Regardless what it is we discuss, it is sure to be thought-provoking and entertaining. Host: Cody Schultz Co-Host: Ben

EP 26 - Zion in Fall

Creative Banter ·

2022/11/09

Ben recently came back from his Fall trip to Zion National Park, bringing with him a few thoughts worth discussing, as well as some lessons learned. We also managed to find some time to discuss two Discord topics related to printmaking and the procedures within.

EP 25 - It's Electric

Creative Banter ·

2022/11/02

Over on the Discord server, photographer Jay Tayag begs the question whether photography is considered an art or a craft, which led to quite an interesting discussion, though no solid answer may ever be etched in stone. After rambling on a bit, we found ourselves talking about electric vehicles and what the future may hold.

This week, we allocate most of our discussion toward zines and journals. Sparked by Ben’s recent trip to the Sierra Nevada, and his experiences there, we have seemingly come up with a fresh take on exploring new-to-us locations.

EP 23 - Time & Color

Creative Banter ·

2022/10/19

This week, we are discussing the realities of being a full-time photographer, as pointed by a recent video from Thomas Heaton. This shifts us toward discussing our own approaches to heading into the wilderness, including whether we should take trips without our camera from time to time. We end with two topic suggestions as placed by individuals in the Discord group.

EP 22 - Unlocking The Commons

Creative Banter ·

2022/10/12

I recently made my way down to Washington DC for the first time in a few years to see an exhibition of Robert Adams’ photography. Adams is a wonderfully inspiring photographer whose work is unlike most I look at anymore. In other words, he isn’t solely focused on nature. This got me thinking quite a bit about my own work, both in terms of print sizes (like usual) and subject matter. After a bit of a rough transition, we talk about a breathing technique Ben has learned of, which he has been toying

EP 21 - What Draws Your Eye?

Creative Banter ·

2022/10/05

In this week’s episode, our conversation is driven by thoughts on composition and visual theory. We talk about the unfortunate attitudes had revolving around compositional rules, which have the potential of harming one’s creativity. We then speak on wet plate photography, which leads us to talking a bit about orthocromatic film. And if that isn’t enough, we also speak a bit about footwear, leaving off with a question for those listening. LINKS NPN Discussion Artist Viewcatcher Guy Tal Composition

EP 20 - One of the Greats

Creative Banter ·

2022/09/28

There have been two announcements regarding new film cameras which caught my eye recently, though neither of them are within an affordable price range. Still, it’s nice to see new film equipment being released in 2022. Our primary interest in the episode, however, regards Peter Jackson’s comment on hypnosis and how he wishes he could have forgotten all the inner workings of the Lord of the Rings movies, so he could view them as the fans had: with fresh eyes. This leads us into discussions about

This week, I am joined by special guest Murray Livingston. We discuss photographing in black and white, alternative printing processes, and how our work changes when pursuing specific projects, rather than single images.

EP 18 - Crazy Like That

Creative Banter ·

2022/09/14

After explaining a bit about why I had to cancel my September trip to Acadia - which I should have been leaving for this upcoming Sunday already - we move the conversation to something a bit more important in the long-run: paper choice. This ties sweetly into what we were talking about in Episode Sixteen, Environmental Impact. Clearly that episode has made an impact on my own thinking. And while speaking on paper choice, the conversation makes a minor shift toward eBooks versus Zines, as Ben and I

EP 17 - Master Amateur

Creative Banter ·

2022/09/07

For the past two weeks, Ben and I have attempted to speak on the idea of titles, such as landscape versus wilderness photographer. Well, we finally got around to it. This led to talk about the professional versus amateur designations, as well as the starving artist trope.

EP 16 - Environmental Impact

Creative Banter ·

2022/08/31

This week, as we battle the heat, we thought it apt to discuss our environmental impact as photographers. This led us into discussing Ben's new print portfolios, as he's made alterations to lessen the waste. And, of course, we found ourselves shifting topics a bit to that of money and motivation.

EP 12 - How We Change

Creative Banter ·

2022/08/03

Today, we are discussing how we change. Not necessarily as artists but, rather, how we change as we grow older, from being a kid to an adult. This goes hand-in-hand with the realization that the mental difference isn't so straightforward, isn't so exact. We also speak a bit about mental health and the consequences it has on how we change, as well.
