EP 9: Shālah B Pookie]]>https://jasonodell.substack.com/p/lets-click-ep-9-shalah-b-pookiehttps://jasonodell.substack.com/p/lets-click-ep-9-shalah-b-pookieSat, 09 May 2026 17:55:01 GMTIn this episode, I sit down with my partner , creator of SideQuest Photography, where she weaves together stunning imagery with original prose and poetry. We dive deep into her return to photography and how she uses images to tell compelling stories.

Shālah shared her experience switching from DSLR to mirrorless, specifically the OM System cameras, praising their lightweight design, intuitive menus, and customizable features that make them perfect for travel and outdoor adventures. We explore her editing workflow in Lightroom and Photoshop, discussing why their organizational tools and constant updates keep them indispensable.

Our conversation covered essential techniques like exposure bracketing, HDR merging, and the magic of infrared photography. Shālah emphasized the importance of pre-planning compositions and identifying your subject before pressing the shutter—while never forgetting to enjoy the moment.

Shālah then looked back on two trips to Iceland: one armed only with a smartphone in 2021, the other with a full camera kit including tripod, filters, and IR capabilities. The difference? Night and day. Shālah also shared how Photoshop opens creative doors for artistic compositing and discusses the unique looks possible with an IR Chrome filter.

The episode concluded with Shālah reading her poem “The Architect,” inspired by a spider web, and a preview of exciting upcoming photography adventures to Africa, Newfoundland, and Vietnam.

Today I was joined by the amazing photographer , who was right there in Hollywood in the middle of the nascent punk music scene. Theresa shared her stories of being in the inner circle with such artists as Joan Jett, Belinda Carlisle, Billy Idol, and Deborah Harry (🤯). She helped start a fan magazine dedicated to punk rock music called “Lobotomy,” which was totally homemade using cut-outs, photos, hand-lettering, and a photocopier! We shared some great stories and I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

Today on Let’s Click, my guest is , a concert photographer, podcast host, and music enthusiast from the Ann Arbor area of Michigan.

Chuck and his wife Brenda run Life in Michigan, an online magazine they’ve operated for approximately 14 years. They transitioned from MailChimp to Substack about two years ago after discovering the platform through (Social Media Escape Club). Their Substack features:

  • Weekly personal essays (they alternate writing duties)

  • Local Michigan information and events

  • Coverage of movies, books, and music

Chuck’s Creative Projects

Fans with Bands Podcast

A “pandemic baby” project now in its sixth year featuring conversations with primarily local Michigan bands. The show is recorded via Zoom, allowing fans to join and interact with the artists directly.

Gig: The Art of Michigan Music

Chuck recently launched a non-profit organization dedicated to showcasing visual artists in Michigan’s music scene, including:

  • Concert poster artists

  • Concert photographers

His mission is to elevate these artists to fine art status, as they rarely receive gallery representation despite their artistic merit. He’s passionate about building up and supporting his local creative community.

Music Background

Chuck isn’t just a photographer—he’s a musician. He played in a thrash metal band called Battalion for six years in the early 90s. Some of his most notable achievements include:

  • Touring regionally

  • Playing Milwaukee Metal Fest

  • Opening for Slayer in 1994 (technically the same day, though different time slots)

  • Their music is still available on Bandcamp

Talking Concert Photography

We discussed the under appreciation of concert photography as fine art, referencing legendary photographers like Jim Marshall and Ross Halfin as examples of the caliber of work being produced in the genre. We also discussed how you need to be quick on your feet, carry the right gear, and have your exposure settings dialed in right away. Chuck also shared tips on how he tries to get creative through long exposures, interesting camera angles, and creative post-processing.
