My 5 Favorite Photo Purchases of 2025 - TDS Photography Podcast
This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,030, Dec. 16, 2025. Today's theme is, "My 5 Favorite Photo Purchases of 2025." I'm Derrick Story.
I'm lucky enough to be able to test loaner gear for my podcasts and articles. But sometimes I like something so much that I buy it with my own money and incorporate it into my workflow. Today, I will share my five favorite purchases in 2025 - plus some industry news as well. All of that, and more, on Today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
