November 12, 2019 13:05 - 1 hour - 129 MBDavid Imel is a tech journalist and photographer currently living in New York City. He and I linked up during my last trip to NYC and we ended up having a conversation that SHOULD have been recorded for a podcast, but neither of us were really thinking about it. What I love about David is that he has both feet in the world of technology and phones, but he is also a photography nerd. So getting to pick his brain about the independent worlds of Google, Apple, and the traditional photography in...

We talk about why it's ok to just be exactly who you are, how frustrating it is to live in ...
