Welcome to Episode #100 of the Make Better Photos and Videos podcast. This is a milestone for sure and I am very appreciative of everyone who invests the time to listen. On this episode, I am joined by my special guest Fernando Santos. Nando and I are the two moderators for the KelbyOne Community provided to KelbyOne members.

I thought that his suggestion was brilliant and you can listen in to how it all went here.
