In the first episode of 2026, I take a hard look back at 2025 and speak honestly about the year that tested me in ways I didn’t expect. We talk about the work that kept me standing. Teaching photography every Saturday in Ulsan. Watching students struggle, grow, and find their voice. The gallery exhibition that finally took the work off screens and put it on walls. Time spent walking and shooting in Fukuoka. Professional trust regained through projects with Visit Seoul. And then there’s the part you don’t see online. The passing of my father in law. The sudden loss of my brother just before Christmas. A flight back to Canada, a quiet holiday, and the reality of grief that doesn’t come with lessons or silver linings. This episode isn’t about motivation or fresh starts. It’s about endurance. About showing up when nothing feels resolved. About choosing clarity over noise, honesty over trends, and forward motion over empty promises. No hype. No reinvention. Just a conversation about work, loss, photography, and what it means to keep going into 2026.
