In episode 7, I discuss the growth of my YouTube channel, reaching 3,100 subscribers. I talk about my 28mm vs. 35mm lens review, a video podcast crash course, and share channel analytics. I also reflect on shooting with different lenses and cameras, and the challenges of a long road trip. I recommend Tim Urban's blog Wait But Why and describe why I'm feeling like I'm in the "Insecure Canyon" for both photography and YouTube right now.
