In this episode, Rob and Josh discuss the becoming creatively becalmed, the pressure of constantly producing new work, and the need to take a break from photography from time to time. They talk about the various ways they look at photography when things become stale, the ways in which they find renewed enthusiasm and inspiration, and becoming comfortable with taking a break from it all. The conversation takes some interesting philosophical detours, so join the two as they chat candidly about their recent creative droughts.
