Episode 62: Matt and Krystal Radlinski
A few months ago I put out a call to my listeners to invite photographers of different faiths to come on and share. In response to that, I received an interesting reply from today’s guest, Matt Radlinski. He and his wife Krystal are atheists, and as he put it “if you’re looking for somebody for whom God had absolutely nothing to do with their success, and also aren’t terrible, maybe we could help you out.” I only had to visit their website for a little bit before I knew they’d be great guests. Despite being Godless heathens, they are indeed two terrific and fun people (I’m TOTALLY KIDDING!…About the Godless heathens part, not the totally terrific people part. You’ll notice that today’s show is all about being silly and having fun.)
In today’s episode, we actually don’t talk about faith (or a lack of it) at all. Instead, we talk about their career path into photography. He was an electrical engineer, and she was in the U.S. army for nine years. Today, they are PPA Master Photographers (well, as of January ‘09 anyway), instructors, and successful wedding and portrait photographers. We learn how they hooked up on a blind date after a mutual friend lied to both of them. (Luckily, they liked each other enough for a second date). And Matt gives us his take on the state of photography today. That ironically, because of digital technology, bad photography today is worse than it’s ever been, but good photography is better than it’s every been. (Quite a quandary). Oh, and only with the Radlinskis would we have the first ever F-Stop Beyond drinking game. Listen and play along (NOTE: I am in no way endorsing drunkenness, so no complaining e-mails please! 
Today’s musical outro is “Alone Tonight” by Castella courtesy of Triple Scoop Music.
Next week we have both an inspirational and touching interview with Justin and Mary Marantz.
