  • The Snap Spot Podcast Episode 1: Aperture, Your View of My World

    The Snap Spot Podcast Episode 1: Aperture, Your View of My World

    Pip: Robert’s Snap Spot — where the aperture is wide open and so is the welcome mat.

    Mara: Today we’re covering Robert J Jr.’s introduction to the site — who he is, what gear he shoots with, and what the whole project is actually about. Let’s start with the lens he’s using to frame everything: aperture, and what it means for how he’s sharing his world.

    Aperture, Your View of My World

    Pip: The title does real work here — aperture isn’t just a camera term, it’s the organizing metaphor for the entire site. The question is: what does it actually mean to open up a photography journey to an audience, and where does this one begin?

    Mara: The post frames it directly: “Like the opening of a lens to allow light in, I am opening up — exposing if you will, the depth of — my world of photography and my journey through photos to you, my fellow photog enthusiasts.”

    Pip: So this isn’t a gear review or a tutorial. It’s an invitation — the site is the journey itself, shared in real time with people who already love the craft.

    Mara: And the journey has a clear arc. It starts with a Sony Cyber-shot and a FUJI FinePix, moves through a Nikon D3200 and a Canon Rebel SLR1, and lands in 2026 on a Canon EOS R100. Mobile has kept pace — from an iPhone 8 Plus to a 15 Pro Max, and from an older iPad Air to the current iPad Pro M4, which he specifically calls out for video and photo editing.

    Pip: That progression from entry-level DSLRs to a mirrorless Canon and a tablet that could edit a feature film is a pretty honest map of how photography obsessions tend to evolve.

    Mara: He’s candid about the learning curve too: “I can’t say I’m a Nikon man nor Canon fan because I like both. So far on my journey into photography land I’ve learned I have lots more to learn.” That’s the spirit the whole site seems to be built on — curiosity over expertise.

    Pip: And the shooting philosophy matches: not one careful frame, but every angle, every close-up, the whole scene.

    Mara: Exactly — “I love taking photos of everything. I always have. And not just one photo — I need to take every angle and close-ups too.” The site is that instinct, documented.

    Pip: Wide aperture, deep field — sounds like a site worth following into whatever gets snapped next.

    Mara: The gear will keep evolving. The curiosity clearly won’t. Next episode, more from the Snap Spot.

    Aperture: the adjustable opening inside a camera lens, which controls both the exposure of an image and its depth of field.

    Like the opening of a lens to allow light in,

    Seven Canon EF 50mm lenses arranged in a row with varying aperture blades from f/16 to f/22

    I am opening up (exposing if you will) the depth of my world of photography and my journey through photos to you, my fellow photog enthusiasts!

    I can’t say I’m a Nikon “man” nor Canon “fan” because I like both. So far on my journey into photography land I’ve learned I have lots more to learn.

    Learning is certainly what life is about and photography equipment (both cameras and mobile phones) allowed me to hone my craft.

    Illustration of vintage cameras arranged in a row, with some cameras featuring a lightbulb or cube on top.
    A man with a beard and glasses is holding a camera and taking a photo near a green hedge in front of a plain wall.

    I have upgraded owning several cameras. A Nikon D3200 and a Canon Rebel SLR1.

    Now in 2026 I own a Canon EOS R100.

    My iPad Air and iPhone 8 Plus have allowed me to take some amazing photos.  As most people know Apple loves yearly updates of the iPhone line so my current iPhone is a 15 Pro Max. Max for all the “Pro” photography and video features! And yes my iPad Air was sorely outdated. I rock the current iPad Pro M4. Yup! It’s a powerhouse for my video and photo editing.

    I did own a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 and FUJI FinePix S5000 once: both were good cameras.

    Illustration of vintage cameras arranged in a row, with some cameras featuring a lightbulb or cube on top.

    I love taking photos of everything!  I always have.  And not just one photo,  I “need” to take every angle and close-ups too. Join me, follow me, let’s get snappin!

    A person holding a camera and taking a selfie on a porch while a cat rests on a nearby ledge.

    Like you I get my inspiration and intense enjoyment when there is a camera or iDevce in my hand. Sometimes I can be totally absorbed in my pursuit of that “perfect” shot.

    I am:

    • a disabled veteran (23 years Army: 4 Iraq tours, 1 Kosovo, 1 Somalia peace keeping tour)
    • a brother, a husband, a father, a grandfather
    • an encourager, a helper, a support for many
    • photographer for blog ( NealEnjoy – a WordPress blog )

    Two smiling men holding a sign that says 'Mr & Mr', dressed in wedding attire with hats and floral accessories.

    I have:

    • seen a lot of the world
    • learned joy is the true measure of success
    Illustration of vintage cameras arranged in a row, with some cameras featuring a lightbulb or cube on top.

    I will do my best to:

    • tell my story though pictures, and if you look closely, you will see your story too
    • show that life is good
    • have fun with the lens
    Illustration of vintage cameras arranged in a row, with some cameras featuring a lightbulb or cube on top.

    I love:

    • capturing “that” moment
    • my children and grandchildern
    • photography
    • Sci-Fi
    • collecting comics
    • playing music on iTunes/iPhone/iPad
    • my cats Benny and Boopers (you will see a plethora of their photos)
    • antiques
    • traveling

    I think you:

    • will agree that there is art in more places than what’s just in a museum
    • will love this blog
    • will, hopefully,  share the blog with someone close to you
    • will pick up a camera (or iDevice) and take some photos!
