Welcome to Creative Banter, a creative and philosophy focused podcast where anything goes. I’m your host, Cody Schultz. Joining me is the one and only Ben Horne. Each week, we sit down to discuss something to do with photography, whether it be our feelings toward the film versus digital dichotomy or how our creativity is affected by our individual photographic approaches. Regardless what it is we discuss, it is sure to be thought-provoking and entertaining. Host: Cody Schultz Co-Host: Ben Horne Music: The Introvert by Michael Kobrin (licensed through Pixabay)

113 - Finding My Footing

Oct 24 2024 49 mins  
No matter how hard we try, lately it feels like every episode is about Ben and I catching up, unable to maintain our usual schedule. Most of this, recently, has had to do with my trip to Yellowstone and then starting a new job, which just so happened to overlap with a recent camping trip Ben took with his wife and Oliver the dog. Perhaps someday we will find our footing, once again

112 - Runaway Dog

Oct 17 2024 56 mins  
As the season shifts toward autumn, so, too, does the light, leading Ben to ponder whether everyone notices such subtle changes or if it is only artists, those who may be more visually attuned to light. Despite Ben’s ability to see these slight alterations over time, he is not immune to making mistakes, overlooking what others may not have, as put on display when speaking on a re

111 - The Fear of Fear w. Alister Benn

Sep 19 2024 52 mins  
Alister Benn sits down with Cody this week to discuss mental health, insecurity, and the effect labels have on both your personal and creative life. We talk about embracing your fears, redefining how we perceive rewards and time itself, as well as the over-use of the term mindfulness. This is just the beginning of what I hope will be a reoccurring conversation, as I firmly believe

110 - You Can't Whistle While Sad

Sep 12 2024 47 mins  
A bit deeper of a conversation this week, at least for the majority of the episode, as we look at the overarching question, Who am I? This is a question which, despite seeming simple at face-value, drives a lot of what we do in life, even if we don’t immediately recognize it. Our photographer of the week is Matt Redfern.

109 - Humidity and Depression

Sep 05 2024 42 mins  
A few have been asking what caused the lapse of episodes, why we had an unannounced (and, frankly, unplanned for) two-week break. I’m taking this episode to address that question, as well as provide a bit of insight into where my mind’s been the past few months.

108 - Body Battery

Aug 29 2024 43 mins  
Despite going back and forth, I have finally committed to joining David Kingham and Jennifer Renwick in Yellowstone this September, on top of heading to Acadia for a week in October. This means I’ll need to stock up on cold weather camping equipment, but luckily, there appears to be something on the horizon that will help with that.

107 - Ghost Cat

Aug 22 2024 52 mins  
It’s been a minute, and we’ve got a bit of catching up to do, so let’s go back to July 25 and talk about ghost cats, visits to the emergency room, and the interactions between Emmie the dog and deer.

106 - Perfection is Subjective

Jul 18 2024 44 mins  
Reading Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey brings a few topics to the forefront this week, namely my thoughts around a winter trip to Utah and how I write. Meanwhile, watching The Bear makes me wonder, at what point does one’s obsession over craft become too much?

105 - Little Grumbles

Jul 11 2024 55 mins  
As I only just begin seriously training Emmie, Ben has Oliver trained almost exactly how he would like, though the barking and little grumbles at backyard rats could be better. This week, in between conversations around random life events, Ben and I discuss the obsession over gear and whether it should feel special in your hand.

104 - Flip Flop Killer

Jul 04 2024 45 mins  
What goes on inside the mind of a puppy, especially one with a high prey drive? Does Oliver fear for his life, when he sees Ben hold a flip-flop in his hand? These are the real questions we are facing in this week’s episode.
