Jared Polin Froano's Photo.com and welcome to Rawl Talk episode number 185. The time is currently

318 in the PM on Wednesday, February 4th, 2026. And there's exactly 69% battery life left

on my watch. And it's currently 32 degrees here in Philly. And we have a lot to

talk about. Why? Because yeah, I took two Likas to Paris. As you guys know, I mentioned a decision

was made last week. And I've already gone and come back from Paris. Two and a half days on the

ground. A lot to talk about. That's all coming up.

But first, we need to talk about Stephen and his baby. Because Stephen and his wife welcomed a baby girl the other day by the name of drumroll, please.'t guess it i was i never got it it is molly

elizabeth ecert or me for sure look at me my initials are me that's right schmee schme i love that movie hook uh but anyway molly elizabeth

eckert or m e for short well that's what i will call her she is cute i guess i don't know she looks

like a baby she looks like stephen so maybe she's not cute i mean it's a baby what are you going to say

the baby just came out of the baby out of the mom you're like, it's a baby. What are you going to say? A baby just came out of the mom. You're like, okay, it's a baby. I don't think any baby looks cute when they're first born. Give them a couple days or a couple weeks. You're like, oh, that's a cute baby. But when they're like 14 minutes old, you're like, I don't know about that. I don't have a baby, so I can't tell you what I think about a baby.

But I'm going to hopefully go over there and photograph the baby number two, very similar

to how I photographed baby number one a couple years ago, except I know I had a Fuji at that time.

That was that GFX large format, the 1-800X, I almost called it, the GFX 100S, I believe I was borrowing at the time.

But no, I'd like to go back and photograph, so I need to set that up.

So that is the first thing I wanted to get out of the way is congratulating Stephen and his wife on having another baby.

So that is that. Stephen is on paternity leave until he decides

that he wants to come back and work. And then we will get back into working. But that's up to him.

He will decide to come back when he's ready. We don't have like official times. And I don't know

how all that stuff works. It's whatever he needs he needs in life.

We'll figure out business later, I guess.

Better get back to work soon.
