How does it compare to regular product photography? – Thomas mentions the glut of cheap photography, a common problem in an age where access to high quality photography equipment and training is no longer a barrier to entry. How does one stay competitive in this market against lower priced rivals? How does that translate to non-weed photography. Taking Time Out for Health – It’s easy in this stressful world to forget about not only physical health, but our emotional and spiritual health.

What is our experience with suicide? Have we ever know a fellow visual journalist who was experiencing suicidal thoughts or depression?
