Life Between the Poles
Welcome to Life Between the Poles. This is a podcast about Photography and my obsessive hyper focused observations of humanity and how it intersects in my life. I'm a retired photojournalist and commercial photographer spanning 35 years but I do continue to shoot personal work with multiple digital and analog cameras. With this podcast their will be content that has nothing to do with photography but has every thing to do with how I interpret daily life around me. This podcast also has nothing to do with football goal posts but does deal with the glass half full and the glass half empty and everything in between. Thank You for listening!

Introducing my Blog
In this episode I introduce my friends and listeners to my new blog bradarmstrong.blog. I talk briefly about how Instagram has turned into a mini TikTok. It's video and advertising. There still is good photography on Instagram but I don't find engagement other than seeing empty emoji's. I guess it's a conformation that people are seeing your work but it seems to fall intellectually short. With the blog I can write the stories behind the photograph's. It hopefully entices folks to read plus see the photographs. Facebook and Instagram don't support long reads. People don't have time for it and want to scroll quickly. The blog is different. At least it is for me.
Thank you for listening and help me grow this channel. Have a great day. Many of the photographs I talk about here are on Facebook: Brad Armstrong the Avatar picture is my wife and I with Smokey the Bear, Instagram @ shade_image / commercial and editorial portraits Instagram @ barmst360
