What happens when picking up the camera feels heavier than putting it down?

In this episode, Jason Teale talks honestly about grief, winter, and creative paralysis following the death of his brother and a difficult return from Canada. This isn’t a gear episode or a how-to—it’s a raw reflection on showing up when inspiration is gone, using photography as resistance, and refusing to quietly disappear.

From frozen mornings on the Korean coast to the mental grind of loss, this episode is about movement, momentum, and why creating—even imperfectly—matters more than waiting to feel ready.

This is an episode for photographers, artists, educators, and anyone who’s felt blocked, tired, or weighed down—and still got up anyway.
