Street Shots Photography Podcast

  Well, I think I've done enough shows from Green-Wood Cemetery to now officially name these segments "Dispatches from Green-Wood." This is dispatch number seven (who knows if I've done six previous ones). So, these are my thoughts about pinhole lenses and how I try to keep my foot in the photography world every day.  Show Links: Brooks Jenson Lenswork   Images shot with Thingyfy Pinhole Lenses        

  This episode I had the great honor of speaking with adventure photographer Dan Bailey. Lately I've been binging his YouTube videos and after I saw enough I realized I needed to talk to this guy. His photography is incredibly compelling and his desire to share his knowledge (through workshops, books and his videos) and inspiring outlook on life is equally so. I had a great time talking to Dan and expect him back on the show sometime in the near future.    Links:   Dan Bailey Photography Dan's You Tube X Series Unlimited eBook     Dan's photos:            

Things have quieted down a little allowing me some mental space to record a new episode. This show I'm talking about how our relationship with equipment, lenses, apps are quite symbiotic when it comes to sharing our vision with the world. Does the equipment drive us to see the world differently or does it make what we see clearer? Good question, I think. 

Been a while since the last show and I'm taking a walk around Green-Wood again to explain what's going on. Also, a bit of a special treat as some great fourth graders were tasked with writing (very) short stories about a couple of my images, included below. A wonderful treat to have one's images the subject of budding imaginations. So wonderful.  

  I've got my buddy Ward Rosin on the show again. We're catching up on what we're doing during lockdown, including going through our back catalog of images and books we're recommending.    This episode's links: Masters of Street Photography The Phone Book Long Story Short Full Moon Mexico: Between Life and Death Ward Rosin's Website, Instagram feed and Facebook page.

Me again, droning on about what I'm doing. Check out my YouTube Channel here.  

Like you, I'm cooped up at home with not much to do. Been working at my remote job and that's been keeping me busy. Busy enough to delay publishing this episode. Well, here it is. I hope I can keep you company for a short while.   Sample Gigapixel AI image: original original on left, upsampled on right   original on left, upsampled on right   Upsampled final (downsampled for post)   Links: Topax Gigipixel  

Paying a small tribute to my late friend and photographer, Robert Herman. I recorded this as a YouTube video as well.

  Well, we've officially entered the Twilight Zone. Because of this, I needed to clear my head a little so I decided to do the show during one of my photo strolls through Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. I'm going to be working on my own YouTube channel and in this episode I share what I have planned. Also, just some of my personal thoughts about the current world situation.   Links: ShutterTime Podcast

  Another busy freelance week means I'm rebroadcasting a show from last April, with me and Ward Rosin doing a deep dive on Jacques-Henri Lartigue. Also, a quick update on some future plans and shiny objects that are distracting me.    Bryan Minear's X-T4 Preview   Here are the notes from Episode 96 regarding Lartigue:   In this episode, I'm joined by my buddy Ward Rosin and we do a deep dive into the photographer Jacques-Henri Lartigue.  Ward and I touch on many aspects of Lartigue's work including his love of speed and his use of one of the first color photography processes called "Autochrome." We make some interesting discoveries during our chat and I'm sure you will too as you listen to us both talk about a photographer we've admired for a long time. This is the first of what will be a regular feature on Street Shots. The idea of talking about interesting and exceptional photographers with a buddy has been something I've wanted to do on the show for a while now. Any feedback is appreciated.  Show Links: Ward Rosin's Website, Instagram feed and Facebook page.
