I sat down with my very first photography mentor  (Matt Ciao) to take a walk down memory lane.  He does not hold back when he talks about how annoying I was when I was 15.  We also talk about what was given to us by one of our teachers in college that goes in your wallet next to the condom. 

But the big reveal came when Matt divulged the reason behind me deciding to purchase my very first Nikon SLR.

Was Stephens’s sister’s wedding photographer a bust or did he end up kicking ass?  If you recall episode #100, Stephen’s sister found out two weeks before her wedding that the photographer she hired would no longer be shooting her big day.  Instead, he was sending someone else she had never met or seen their work. 

What in the world did RODE send us this time around.  Hint, it does not require power and can be yours for 50% OFF with code “ISHOOTRAW”.  I first thought I was going to hate what they sent me but it turns out that it was pretty cool.

There is not a lot better than giving surprise gifts to people.  Stephen got to unwrap his very special gift live on the show, find out what it is.

Stephen hits us with a solid select of photo news stories.  From Cannon pro lens price drops, to a photographer who has a 0.02% success rate on a project to how one guy barely saved his DJI Phantom from taking a swim in the lake.

All of this and more can be heard or seen on this weeks FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.  

Oh yea, we find out what and who is DigiRichie.
