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

66 - A Steady Cadence

Creative Banter ·

2023/09/21

No matter what you are into outside of photography, there are always parallels which appear, connecting the creative life to all else. The steady cadence while cycling is much the same as the slow progression toward large goals. And the pure pressure a musician feels - which leads to unfortunate mental breakdowns - can be felt by all who deal with life’s ups and downs. Even finding out that the solution to a problem which has plagued you for almost a decade is a simple one, can help open our eyes

65 - Thought Collaboration

Creative Banter ·

2023/09/14

Having the opportunity to witness the evolution of thought, and of practice, over a period of time, is a truly magnificent thing. To watch as someone grows and learns from past experiences. To see how their thinking changes as they encounter new challenges. That is, at the very core of it, what we are discussing in this week’s episode. As usual, I hope there is something beneficial within these ramblings for you all. LINKS Ben’s 2023 Print PortfolioBen’s 2023 ZineDan WhiteIterations by Jeffery

Remember how I mentioned about a surprise of sorts two episodes back and then swiftly ignored it? Well, in this episode, it is finally revealed. And it brings plenty of discussion to the table on what it means for the future of my art.

Creative Banter ·

2023/08/31

While I continue to ramble on about summer doldrums and my lack of direction in life, Ben brings to the table an interesting discussion on the connection between barefoot running and large format photography. We speak on his fears of being forced to digital - perhaps an inevitable fate, in time - and why these fears exist in the first place. Will he decide to venture to the dark side of digital, or will he sooner give up photography? Of course, this is all hypothetical. Or so we hope. LINKS Born to

Creative Banter ·

2023/08/24

After a month-long break, Ben and I are back in action, ready to discuss all things creativity, nature, and whatever else comes to mind. Given it’s the primary excuse for our absence, in this episode we are discussing my trip to Colorado and the power of proximity. We talk about the photographic struggles I was met with, the potential of a return visit, and we continue our conversation on maintaining a greater awareness of nature, a running theme in our weekly talks.

61 - Too Much of a Good Thing

Creative Banter ·

2023/07/20

Due to my trip to Colorado, this is going to be the last episode for a few weeks. We’re talking about physical, mental, and emotional health, starting with Ben’s recent blueberry fiasco, which transitions us into talking about the mind-body connection. From there, we discuss stress and human evolution, wrapping everything up nicely with a bit about better connecting with nature. Truly no better way to start off my trip than thinking about all this.

2023/07/13

Despite being a bit brain dead, both Ben and I work through this week’s conversation, talking about a variety of topics that somehow fit together. We start things off by discussing the use of shallow focus and what Ben calls the Pirate Method to aid in composition creation. Continuing to speak on finding unique compositions, we talk about the passage of time and finding stories in nature, as well as writing about your photographs. And given two recent camera announcements, we discuss those a bit as

2023/07/06

The Spandex Warrior and I sit down this week to discuss the trips we recently returned home from. For myself, that means my rainy trip to Acadia National Park in Maine; and for Ben, that’s his trip to Southern Utah with his wife. Both of which, it turns out, were filled with pizza. Much of the conversation revolves around small scene photography and the familiarity of place that is necessary to create such photographs, to notice those intimate moments. We also talk a bit about the idea of doing

2023/06/29

It seems this is the time of year for beautiful trips into the wilderness, as Ben returns from his spring backpacking trip and I prepare to head off into Acadia. Most of the conversation revolves around these adventures, but as usual, we throw in a bit about productivity, anxiety, and expectations. Oh - and Ben is slowly transforming into a true Spandex Warrior. So that makes for a nice visual. LINKS57 - Societal Commentary w. Nick CarverGitzo Mountaineer Series 1 SUPPORT THE SHOW Join

Creative Banter ·

2023/06/22

Creative genius Nick Carver joins me this week for a blunt discussion on society. We kick the conversation off by discussing how terrifying lifestyle changes can be, which, I know, is a very common thread in recent months. Really, though, I wanted to bring Nick on to discuss why he chose to release a four-hour long video - and then ask people to pay for it. Through this, we discuss the societal idea that entertainment should be free, along with the reality of running ads on YouTube. And then we get

56 - Our Impact as Photographers

Creative Banter ·

2023/06/15

Our primary driver for this episode revolves around following your curiosity. From continuing the conversation had with Simon Baxter about maintaining a deeper awareness and connection with nature, to discussing the detrimental side effects of so many people venturing into nature, Ben and I ponder our ultimate impact as photographers. Especially for those who run workshops in the popular national parks, and for those who showcase their photographic adventures on YouTube, what sort of impact are we

2023/06/08

How do you think of productivity? Do you determine it based on what you accomplish throughout the day, or throughout the year? The other night, I found myself thinking about what I have all done throughout the past year, from graduating with my bachelors, starting this podcast, working with NPN, and graduating recently with my masters. There grew within me a sense of pride that I had never felt before - and that, I believe, many people miss out on. We focus so heavily on our daily accomplishments

2023/06/01

Joining me this week is woodland photographer Simon Baxter. Simon has been a major influence on my own photography, constantly influencing me to learn more about the natural world around me as well as learning to embrace the local landscape. Throughout this episode, we center our focus around these primary topics. We discuss gardening and how not to lose your passion with photography, as well as why it is more beneficial to prioritize nature over any photograph you take. Our conversation turns,

Student teaching is officially over and with that comes the reality that I have more time on my hands than I have had in the past six years. Though this sounds great on paper, the mentality that Ben and I share of always having to do something can quickly make this a living nightmare. One way to cope is through health and fitness, something which I plan to take more seriously given the additional time. Still, one can only run for so long before the body begs you to stop. And when you have plenty of

Creative Banter ·

2023/05/18

When starting a new leg of your journey, there are two overarching concepts about how to proceed: you may either keep your plans to yourself out of fear they won’t formulate, or you may push those plans out into the universe with hopes that good things will come your way. Now that student teaching has come to a close, I wonder which of these options is best for me. Do I commit to the habits I need to build, in order to best walk down this new path, or do I keep my plans to myself, fearing that by

2023/05/11

Finding the time to head out into nature, especially for extended periods of time, can be a daunting task as you find your life becoming more complicated. While neither Ben nor I share in the exactly difficulty that a listener is facing, we do our best to discuss how to find the time for photography in a busy life. We talk about how important it is to alter your mindset away from the idea of constantly being in nature - like what is so often shown on social media - and toward a mindset that

Based on comments received from better podcasters than myself, I have been making some alterations to not only the software and editing used but also the location in which I record. It is hoped that these changes are for the better and will improve the quality of Creative Banter. Ben and I start off this week by discussing some of these changes, before tackling a number of questions sent in on the Discord. Mostly, our conversation flows around the concept of quiet photography, a term that

We’re back with Ben in this episode, starting off by discussing human psychology when it comes to amusement park lines and high school fights. This leads to a short discussion on the current state of bullying in schools and how it has continued to change in drastic manners since Ben went to high school. We speak on my new website and eBook as well as how we organize our photo galleries, expanding on the discussion had with Murray the previous week. Finally, we answer a few questions from listeners

2023/04/19

This episode, I’m joined by photographer Murray Livingston as we discuss a variety of topics surrounding the idea of poetic photography. We discuss the intersection of language and art - an idea which Murray is creating an eBook about - and whether it is important to think about such an idea while out in the field. We speak on photography as a meditative act, something which calms both body and soul, and, briefly, how this concept relates to the flow state. Toward the end of the episode, we talk

2023/04/12

Since we have found ourselves with a bit of a backlog worth of questions and topic suggestions over on the Discord, it felt like a good time to work through some of them. But first, I have a few questions for Ben about his photographic approach, after having watched his recent Death Valley videos. We speak about how our decisive moment has changed over the years, as well as whether we bother to take a “safety shot” prior to waiting for that decisive moment to formulate. Our conversation turns toward
