    To kick off this series, I was honored to be joined by Tiffany Goolsby who I initially became familiar with through the vibrant images she submits to the Frugal Film Project every month. We talked about how she became interested in photography, then her interest in film specifically. We talked about the benefits of using the same kit over a period of time, what she enjoys about photography, and a little about what engaging in photography adds to her life experience.   I hope you enjoy this initial installment and please do check out Tiffany's work.  Website: www.tiffanygoolsby.com IG: @tiffanyshootsfilm The Frugal Film Project: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Fr4xRk1BD/   If you feel strongly compelled to get in touch, you can comment on the IG post of this episode on Sunny 16 Presents (@sunny16presents) or email sunny16presents@gmail.com.   Featuring the musical stylings of Graeme Jago (@myopicme on IG) I am Billy Sanford (@bsanfordjr) and just enjoy talking to creative people.
