In season 9 episode 6 of WPPI, Gary Martin, David Parish, and Shannon Dougherty discuss the evolution of technology in photography, the quality of old records compared to modern music, and the emergence of influencer culture. They also touch on the idea of society's obsession with taking selfies and visiting selfie museums, and how this trend has affected the photography industry. They express their differing opinions on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and whether or not they are a positive force for photographers. The conversation ends on a more positive note as the podcasters reflect on what they are grateful for in their lives.
