Please? ;)   Ok, cool. Now that we got that song stuck in your head for the next day or two, we can begin. We've got a solid episode for you folks because it's time for another Guest Host Tuesday! For today's episode, please welcome photographer and photo coach extraordinaire, Matt Kloskowski! Matt has an extensive history teaching photography and we couldn't think of a better person to join us. Actually, our first topic is directly based off of one of his blog posts, so there definitely isn't anyone better to be here with us. We're going to start off with a simple question: Is there a Lightroom replacement? With the noise surrounding Adobe's updates to Lightroom a few months back, you're seeing a number of companies vie to fill that gap for people who are abandoning ship. But seriously. Is it really that bad and, if so, can any other product fill those shoes? We follow that meaty topic up with a healthy debate around photo critiques and whether they're still relevant (Spoiler: they absolutely are). All that, a bag of chips, and a heaping of "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" make up Episode 17. Enjoy! Show Notes • We're thrilled to welcome our next guest host, Matt Kloskowski.
