It's a late night Friday ramble with John and Graeme this week where we chat about what we'd do if all constraints on our ability to take pictures were removed, and whether or not it would be a help or a hindrance in producing good pictures.   What conclusions did we arrive at? None really, other than the fact that an being given money to make art sounds pretty great, even if it wouldn't necessarily make for better art.    You've been warned!        

This week John Whitmore joins Graeme for some emails, some cheap shots challenge pictures and some terrible puns, and a good time is had by, if not all, the hosts at least.   Funny Face trailer link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WhylJq7ra-I
