Street Shots Photography Podcast

(image courtesy © david szweduik) Inspired by a recent Candid Frame podcast where host Ibarionex Perello interviews photographer Cig Harvey, Antonio and Ward invited fellow Unusual Collective member and AIC Stories Podcast host David Szweduik to join the show to discuss what it means to create photos *about* something rather than taking photos *of* something.

Antonio and Ward discuss what it means to take photos of artwork. Whether it's an Ancient Greek sculpture or a modern design building, can we actually call the photos we make of these objects "art?" Can we take credit for the new creations or do we consider it a "collaboration" with the known or unknown artist? It's a question that dates since the advent of photography itself.

Last episode, Antonio and Ward asked why we would want to take black and white images. Well, of course, this episode they now ask the same question of color. Walker Evans once called color photography "vulgar" but he ended his photographic life embracing the color images he shot with his Polaroid instant camera. Antonio and Ward discuss the idea that maybe we take color photography for granted. The first image you take with a new camera or new phone is, of course, a color image. The Street Shots guys want you to really think about what it means to create a color image and be mindful of color in your photography. No, they don't think color photography is vulgar and frankly neither did Evans. Show Links: Antonio M.

There is no simple answer and this episode opens the door to explore what it means to create images not in color.    Show Links: Antonio M.

Life has gotten in the way again and while we tend to personal matters, please enjoy this rerun of episode #99 "Let Us Now Praise." This episode, Ward Rosin and I get to talk about a childhood photography hero of mine: Walker Evans. We take a little dive into Evans' life, his stint at the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression and some of his other photographic endeavors during his life. Ward and I ask what was it about Evans' work that made him such an iconic American Photographer. Also, we dovetail the discussion into a newly discovered project by some high school students from Bellaire, Ohio.  Show Links: In his own words: https://youtu.be/DlXfbixbGG8 NYC Public Library FSA Collection   Library of Congress Walker Evans FSA Collection   Now Let Us Praise Famous Men: Revisited (PBS American Experience 1988)   Bellaire, Ohio: The All-American Town Zine   Antonio M.

(image courtesy ©ward rosin) We spend a lot of our time looking at, and composing for, the center of the image. But what about the edges of the frame? Are they the Forbidden Zone? No, they are most certainly not! Antonio and Ward are living on the edge by discussing and exploring the edges of the frame. Just what are they for and what can you do with them?

Antonio and Ward consider why we have an insatiable appetite for viewing more and more new images. What are we trying to fill in in our lives by constantly looking at new images? Do we risk losing ourselves amongst all the images we seek on a daily basis? Show Links: Antonio M.

On this first episode of the New Year, Antonio and Ward ponder the statement that your photographs are not only about you. The idea that somehow the work we create is not only for our self enjoyment or artistic purposes but also serve something larger. Photographs preserve the world in which we inhabit and leave a mark on the world, but what does that mark mean? Show Links: Antonio M.
