Street Shots Photography Podcast

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.

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.

  Due to all the tumult of Thanksgiving and work, Antonio and Ward are taking a small break and presenting this rerun of their popular episode called "Lost in Lartigue." Here are the show notes from the original 2019 broadcast:   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.

(image courtesy of shane balkowitsch) Antonio and Ward speak with North Dakotan photographer/ambrotypist Shane Balkowitsch. In 2012, Shane started his photographic journey using the almost forgotten technique known as the "Wet Plate Collodion" process. This 1851 process which applies pure silver onto glass or tin, wet plate collodion photography is an arduous technique requiring patience and skill resulting in a unique, one-of-a-kind archival image. Because exposures often exceed ten seconds, Shane describes the images he captures as "moving stills." The Street Shots guys talk to Shane not so much about the "how" of the wet plate process but more of the "why" of wet plates. They also dive into his many projects and his cultivation of a creative community surrounding his purpose-built daylight studio on the plains of North Dakota. This is surely a conversation for the ages. In Ancient Greek, the word Ambrotype is translated as "Immortal Impression."

  Stephen Shore said in a YouTube video that he wants to take photos that "feel like seeing, just the way when people write they use a different language than they use when they speak." Antonio and Ward invited their fellow Unusual Collective brother-in-light, David Szweduik to riff off of Shore's statement and see how it relates to their work and photography in general.  Photo gallery can be seen here: http://streetshots.photography/2021/10/30/street-shots-ep-146-word-up/   Show Links:   David Szweduik's Website and Instagram feed Dave's Adventures in Creativity Stories Podcast Site and Instagram feed Antonio M.
