A fotografia em 2026 está vivendo movimentos aparentemente contraditórios: a IA entra definitivamente no fluxo de trabalho, enquanto cresce o interesse pelo físico, pelo presencial, pelas câmeras compactas e por experiências que acontecem fora da tela.No C.A.O.S. Fotográfico, Leo Saldanha comenta algumas das notícias, movimentos e oportunidades que estão mexendo com o mercado.Nesta edição: Palco 2026 e a construção de autoridade através dos FotoTalks; o reposicionamento da comunidade para o Essencial; novas oportunidades em prêmios, bolsas e editais; a rejeição às imagens sintéticas em alguns segmentos; os princípios de marketing da Apple aplicados à fotografia; o interesse dos jovens por câmeras compactas; novidades de Canon, Fujifilm, smartphones e impressão; além de casos de fotógrafos transformando acervo, vídeo, drone e conhecimento em novos modelos de negócio.Mais do que acompanhar lançamentos, o C.A.O.S. procura entender o que essas mudanças significam para quem vive da fotografia.Porque talvez a questão mais interessante de 2026 não seja se a IA vai mudar a fotografia. Isso já aconteceu. A questão agora é onde o fotógrafo ainda consegue criar valor, diferenciação e relevância.Todos assuntos mencionados estão aqui: https://www.enfbyleosaldanha.com/postsPalco 2026: https://www.enfbyleosaldanha.com/post/palco-2026-fotografos-foto-talksLivro Marketing para Fotógrafos: https://www.enfbyleosaldanha.com/post/marketing-para-fotografos-2026-livro-atualizadoMAPA R.U.M.O.Para quem quer uma leitura individual do momento atual do negócio e orientação sobre onde concentrar energia, oportunidades e próximos passos.
Card Ladder tracked $911.75 million in online card sales during August 2026. That total exceeded the prior monthly record by more than $200 million.The demand is clear.The question is whether the sports card industry has the people and systems to support it.Brett explains why customer support shapes the collecting experience, how Leighton Sheldon built trust into the acquisition process at Just Collect, and why industry experience starts with solving collector problems.Brett also announces BCW Supplies as the sponsor of Hobby Jobs and examines COMC's search for a Customer Support Manager who can move its operation from reactive to proactive.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast PatreonFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Journalist Kimon de Greef joins Chris Clarke to discuss his new book, The Ego Trip: Psychedelic Toads, a Trail of Deaths, and the Guru Who Peddled Transcendence. The Sonoran Desert toad (Incilius alvarius) spends most of the year underground, emerging to breed during summer rainstorms. It is also the only animal known to produce 5-MeO-DMT, an extraordinarily powerful psychedelic compound, in its defensive secretions. That biological curiosity has made the toad the center of a global psychedelic industry. Chris and Kimon discuss how Sonoran toad secretions changed from a little-known psychedelic tool into an international spiritual commodity; how outsiders profit from romanticized ideas about Indigenous tradition; and what the resulting trade means for the toads, the people hired to collect them, and communities living amid poverty and cartel violence. They also examine parallels with the commercial appropriation and poaching of white sage, and consider an uncomfortable contradiction: people seeking healing, transcendence and communion with nature may be supporting a supply chain built on wildlife exploitation, misinformation and harm. Content Note This episode contains discussion of drug use, addiction, death, animal mistreatment and abusive psychedelic practices. It is not intended as medical advice or encouragement to use 5-MeO-DMT or any other controlled substance. About Kimon de Greef Kimon de Greef is a South African journalist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, Guernica and other publications. He has a master’s degree in conservation biology from the University of Cape Town and a master’s degree in journalism from New York University. Much of his reporting concerns wildlife trafficking, illicit economies and the complicated relationships between human desire and the natural world.

O mercado da fotografia não está seguindo uma linha reta.

Dr. Beckett and Rich Klein discuss the need for a better way to connect employers and candidates in the sports card industry, weighing an Indeed-style job aggregator against the hobby's historically successful word-of-mouth, relationship-based hiring. They reference openings like Beckett cataloging roles, internal postings at COMC, and CGC hiring graders and verification specialists with bonuses and benefits, while noting potential conflicts of interest such as employee submission programs at grading companies. They argue that strong culture, cross-training, and trusted references helped Beckett hire and promote passionate entry-level talent, but today growth in the hobby requires far more employees. They also note challenges recruiting when entrepreneurial collectors can earn more independently, and why benefits and steady pay matter as people age. 00:35 Need a Hobby Job Board 02:42 Hiring Entry Level Talent 04:13 Culture and Internal Growth 05:02 Aggregators and LinkedIn Limits 06:52 AI Pitfalls and Networking 08:42 Trustworthy Store Staffing 10:28 Big Company Hiring and Cross Training 11:10 Grading Jobs and Conflicts 12:27 Fanatics Warehouse Security 13:43 High Potential Hobby Hires 14:21 10X Hobby Needs Workers 14:44 Why Young Talent Won't Apply 15:51 Paychecks and Benefits Matter

Dr. Beckett recaps his week at the 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago, describing the event as maximally crowded, the biggest National ever, with long lines and high energy. He details his buying-focused approach centered on dollar boxes, especially with the Singles Club, noting which days and times produced the best finds and how dealer markdowns shaped his strategy. Beckett shares highlights including a YouTube content creator gathering, meetings (notably with COMC's Tim Getsch), traditional hobby dinners, and Jeremy Lee's well-produced Shark Tank presentation where Dr. Beckett gave brief remarks paying tribute to deceased National co-founder Mike Berkus.

In our admittedly late April episode, we share some Recent Reads (including Daredevil, Infernal Hulk, & Thor) and thoughts on Daredevil: Born Again season 2 on Disney+ before Steve indulges in the contents of The Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu Omnibus volume 2.
Dr. Beckett recaps his Toronto card show trip, highlighting how the experience felt almost like the National—spending nearly as much but 90% of his purchases were hockey cards. He describes strategies for finding value and dollar boxes, negotiating volume deals (especially late Sunday), and a key monster-box purchase he immediately dropped off at COMC after securing trust via Jeremy Lee. He details aggressive bargain-pulling (including 400 top-loaded cards in an hour), navigating mixed “$1 and up” boxes, and learning how structured pricing reflects smart dealer business strategy. Beckett shares a vintage type-card reality check on pricing, notes positive interactions with Canadian collectors, and explains that his customs fears proved unfounded despite being prepared with receipts. 00:31 Packing Cards and Customs Worries 01:07 Show Vibe and Finding Value 02:05 Monster Box Deal at Close 03:42 Jeremy Lee Check Assist 05:16 400 Card Dollar Box Sprint 07:11 Negotiating Mixed Price Boxes 09:52 Vintage Type Cards Reality Check 13:32 Customs Non-Issue 14:22 Friends and Show Encounters
