If Nick and Steve could have any photography trip or job, paid or unpaid, what would we each choose? Nick is spying on people coming to buy his house, whilst Steve is packing his bags for lots of business travel over the next few weeks, starting in Dallas. Nick live streams a town hall for thousands of financial advisers, and what kit should Steve take for his trips for when he has a little spare time to walk around. And should Nick buy a Fujifilm GFX100RF?
