Creative Banter

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

2024/02/15

It’s rainy and somewhat miserable in both California and Pennsylvania as we record this, though Ben has the upper hand with his (slightly) warmer weather. In between a connection outage or two, we talk about the ongoing plant-based experiment and its effects on cycling, as well as the idea of having an emotional attachment to food. We then find ourselves speaking on rapid jump cuts in television shows and whether long form content will find itself with a niche audience, not too dissimilar to how

Sparked by an hour-long walk, Ben and I discuss the importance of routine and the creation of a daily schedule. Though it may seem odd to plan out your day to the hour, is it really all that different from what we do when we work for someone else? Not to mention, it may actually help us to feel better both mentally and physically, while also becoming a bit more productive.LINKSNetflix Twin DocumentaryRyan HolidayTBOT - Craig ModBrittany Colt Instagram SUPPORT THE SHOW Join

This week, Ben reveals a super secret trick that will help ensure your YouTube videos look seamless, even if the content was shot several days apart. We also discuss the idea of camouflage as a fashion statement, and how a minimalist wardrobe can be rather beneficial, despite the odd looks you may get from people you work with, like your dogs and cats. Perhaps more pertinent to photography though, we talk about Ben’s 3rd volume of his Unpolished eBook series, how he may end up sleeping next to his

2024/01/25

As Ben and I continue our journeys in landscape photography, we find ourselves with a strong desire to learn more about both the natural world around us and the role nature plays in fueling our bodies. To be an advocate of nature means not only to speak on the importance of environmental protections but, perhaps more importantly, to live a more natural life. What that means, of course, is up for debate, at least to an extent. Not everyone can realistically live in a cabin in the middle of the woods

2024/01/18

While the information shared via TikTok, Instagram Reels, and social media in general can rarely be trusted, there are times when it connects in such a way that your habits begin to make a bit more sense. Habits such as constantly procrastinating despite enjoying the activities you are avoiding. This week, Ben and I spend a majority of the episode discussing the impact that childhood praise has had on me in adulthood. Specifically, we discuss how a lack of being challenged in life can lead to a fear

With Christmas now behind us, Ben and I finish out the year by discussing what is perhaps the most pivotal part of running a YouTube channel: The negative comments. Sparked by one comment in particular, we discuss how returning to a location time and again can actually be beneficial, making you a better artist, than if you were to travel to exotic locations. Not to mention the knowledge you obtain around the delicate areas of a location you know by heart, as well as the more original photographs you

Given the number of spam calls we receive each day, Ben and I ponder whether working at such a call center would be a lucrative career choice. Even if it did bring in a bundle of cash, it wouldn’t likely lead to much growth on a personal or professional level. Perhaps this is much like being an influencer, but that’s something neither Ben nor I are about to find out anytime soon. Regardless, we do manage to swing the conversation toward actual creative topics, such as zine production and the

We start off strong this episode by discussing bladder control, which somehow leads us somewhat nicely into discussing the correlation between motivation and meeting our needs. As we riff on sleep and stress, we chat about deadlines and presentations, as well as Ben’s use of a 100-mile bicycle ride as a reward. And while on the topic of cycling, we talk about how, at the end of the day, we just want to feel good. LINKSNature Photography ClassesCharlotte GibbNature Vision Magazine SUPPORT THE

What does apple juice, iced tea, and a water wagon — whatever that is, exactly — have in common? About as much as they have to do with photography, which isn’t much. But, that’s the fun of it, right? This week, we’re talking about healthy habits, kayaking, and following rules. We also discuss Ben’s 2023 print portfolios and the release of Nature Vision Magazine’s third issue. And I make the mistake of using a “dirty word” to describe what Ben is to many people. LINKSMatt DayColleen MiniukNature

Not having a proper introduction last week, that just felt weird. Yeah, it’s a bit more work to include them, but it’s fun to try tying everything together. Speaking of fun, this week we are joined by a very special guest as we discuss the Thanksgiving holiday and how time simply flies by without a care in the world. We talk about social media no longer being all that personal, and how blogging could be a way for me to share the photographs taken on my Ricoh. Again we find ourselves thinking about

2023/11/23

We’re talking in circles, evidently about nothing, and about everything, all at once, this episode. With Ben having sent off his zine files to the printers, a conversation ensues around the zine as a lesser quality monograph and other comparisons between those two mediums of photographic presentation. And as usual, I speak on about self-made torment as I continue debating various nonsensical aspects of my creative life. Oh! There’s also some puppy talk in this episode, which is becoming a pretty

After a few weeks of introspection, Ben may have finally learned why he did not have the dreaded First Day Funk on his recent trip to Zion: a diversification of interests. With this, comes a conversation around the interconnectedness of everything, as well as questioning the true importance of stepping out of one’s comfort zone. We also ask many questions this week, including how many people is too many people; would the Flintstones have any tricks to remembering information; and what, exactly, does

2023/11/09

For me, photography is a pathway toward finding meaning in life and healing my mind, body, and soul. The process through which my photographs are made is quite important, and when I find a system that works, it is best to stick with it. This week, Ben and I work through this philosophy, while also discussing whether every photographer truly needs a large body of work. Further, we discuss the lack of desire to be seen as an authority figure, as well as how much dogs love peanut butter. LINKS Andrew

As if any of us needed a reminder how good Ben has it, he is back from his fall trip to Zion National Park, and boy did he run through a lot of film this time around. After we discuss how much the film and development cost him, as well as some other exciting details, we discuss puppy separation anxiety and how being new to something may lead to a higher competitive drive. We end this week with a new project I am embarking on, that I am equally excited and apprehensive about. LINKS Nature Vision

It seems my traditional bad luck has made its way through the microphone, latching onto Ben this week, as he struggles with multiple setbacks of varying degrees. First, his primary hard drive fails; then, his 4Runner needs repair; but that’s not all. Still, there lies here a lesson on patience and that, at the end of the day, these are only things. Things which can be fixed, or replaced. We end this episode with a discussion on Threads, Meta’s competitor to Twitter, which I have found myself playing

Emmie gets a bit restless this episode and needs to step out of the studio, which leaves just Ben and I to lead the conversation. Not ideal, but we make it work. With the second issue of Nature Vision Magazine out in the world, we touch base with how that has been received, as well as the importance of representing lesser-known photographers.

The puppy adventures have officially begun, starting with this episode. As Emmie, the adorable CavaPoo, sits on my lap, Ben and I tackle a number of topics this week, none of which seem to go together at first. We talk about our ability to see being impaired by poor genetics and growing older; slimy marketing tactics that just don’t feel right; and Nature Vision MagazineIssue 2, which was recently released. From last week, we continue our discussion about Ben’s upcoming zine, and we do something a

If you like the sound of a tractor mowing the lawn in the background, you’re going to love this episode. But even if you’re not a fan or background noise, there’s still plenty to enjoy, like Ben’s 73-mile cycling to Torrey Pines and Cody’s recent success with a print sale. There’s also discussion around writing more deep and personal stories, and a shared obsession with constant movement.

Life is hard. So you get a puppy, because they’re man’s best friend and some say they make everything better. Until you realize that raising a puppy and keeping it from terrorizing the environment around you, is also hard. So you start going to therapy, as a way to deal with this hardship. But therapy forces you to face emotions you’ve buried away years ago. And that, too, is hard. And now you realize even your introduction to this podcast episode is rambling on about, ultimately nothing. I suppose
