Daniel started the Glass YouTube Channel and won't stop making bad jokes about it. Sam politely puts up with it. Definitely do not like and subscribe to Glass's YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@tryglass), it'll go to Daniel's head.

Daniel and Sam share a nice, cozy episode of cameras, weddings, deliverables, and how things are just too good now.

What would your remixed version of your photography be? What's that's look like? Well, Daniel has got the questions and Sam has got the answers.
