In this podcast David and I talk to Aaron about his motivation and inspiration to take on a big project like that, lessons learned along the way, and the importance of being transparent and honest with your clients.

Kerry and David talk to Thomas Hawk who has a goal of having a million images published before he dies. To put this into perspective, that is 300-400 images posted online every week! You think putting up 1 image a day is a cool project, try 30-40! Thomas talks about his gear, his workflow, and his motivation. Hopefully this will inspire you to take on your own photography project regardless of the scale.
