Lomography: Don't Think, Just Shoot!
For over three decades, the name Lomography has been synonymous with experimental, DIY analogue photography. Started by a group of curious students after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it has grown into a worldwide community and a major source of cameras and film. My chat with Birgit Buchart of Lomography USA covers a lot of Lomo history, innovation and creativity.

Michael Grecco: Days of Punk
This episode I have a rollicking discussion all about punk / post-punk music as experienced through the camera lens of Michael Grecco. I get to geek out to stories of late nights on stage and backstage in the heady days of the late 1970s and early 80s Boston, MA. Play this one LOUD!

Saul Leiter: A Subtle Complexity
Saul Leiter was a photographer who captured subtle, quiet moments among the cacophony of New York City from the 1940s through the early 2000s. His color work in particular, is a treasure trove which is currently coming to light. For this episode, I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with Michael Parillo and Margit Erb, who run the Saul Leiter Foundation.

My guest on this episode is writer and professor Kate Palmer Albers, whose recent book "The Night Albums" explores the impermanence in photographic images; both intentional and unintended. A major shift in how we can think about the life of a photograph, and our own existence as well.

Tony Chirinos: On The Precipice
An engaging conversation with Miami-based photographer Tony Chirinos. We discuss his photo book "The Precipice" which deals with hospital operating rooms, surgical tools, and hospital morgues. Not as macabre as it sounds, this discussion goes deep into the "theater" of life and death.
