season six Episodes
Season 6 Episode 4: Book Report: Walker Evans: American Photographs
Another episode where I fly solo, this time taking a fresh look at Walker Evans’ seminal photo book American Photographs. First published in 1938, the book is widely regarded as a classic—not only for the photographs themselves, but for the enormous influence it has had on the medium of photography and the photobook. I revisit the images, the book, and its creator, all through a 21st-century lens.
Season 6 Episode 3: Lukas Birk: The Things We Find
This episode features a great conversation with photographer, archivist and researcher Lukas Birk. We discuss his work with the Afghan Box Camera Project and Myanmar Photo Archive, the strange appeal of found photographs, and what happens when photography, history and obsession collide.
Season 6 Episode 2: Worth A Thousand Words: William Klein
I fly solo on this episode, where I discuss a classic photograph by 20th Century master, William Klein. This image is a personal favorite of mine, and I enjoyed the experience of spending an extended amount of time pondering it. This one is worth at least a thousand words.
Season 6 Episode 1: Lucy Sante: The World In Fragments
Season 6 of the podcast kicks off with a great conversation with legendary NY writer Lucy Sante. We discuss life in the Big Apple in the 70s and 80s, her interest in vernacular and anonymous photography, and the value (or lack thereof) of a formal college degree.
