Photon Detector launches photography podcast

Nicolai Grossman Leave a comment

Most of the blog here was easy to publish because it was just links to exhibitions and news about equipment. Huge, tedious time suck, but not difficult.

The more interesting stuff was hard. Exploration, non-facts, obstacles… the actual art-as-verb parts. I never finished or published most of what I started writing about that. It’s hard and it never seems to come out quite right and the lexicon we have to talk about it feels clunky, inadequate, and annoying. I let the perfect become the enemy of the hopefully-better-than-nothing and didn’t do much with it.

I’m disinterested in expending more of my life being a human RSS filter for show & equipment news but the artmaking stuff is still compelling to me. I didn’t make perfectionist writing about this nebulous, messy shit work so I’ll flap my face-hole in front of a microphone instead. It won’t be perfect, but it’ll be something.

I’d like this to be a conversation. Comments, questions, thoughts, topic requests, whatever, please get in touch: nicolai at photon detector dot com.

Thanks to the just-launched Photograper Stories podcast for inspiring me to finally get off my ass and do it.

Podcast interview about Kodak’s new T-MAX 400 film

Nicolai Grossman 1 Comment

Photo News Today‘s Dennis Hays says:

After meeting both John Sexton and [Kodak’s] Scott DiSabato at the 2007 Photoplus Expo in New York, I sit down with them and discuss the introduction of the new [see previous post] T-MAX-400 B&W film. John goes into some detail regarding the films ability and his impressions from use.

As more and more digital cameras are introduced, I wanted to find what Kodak’s thinking was in introducing a new film and who the possible users are. Also, John discusses his workflow with the film and how and why he uses film for his work. A fascinating chat with two ends of the spectrum—a film manufacturer and a film user.

Check out The Digital Photography Show #41, an hour-long podcast interview with photographer/attorney Bert P. Krages. His Web site says:

Bert is an attorney who concentrates on intellectual property and environmental law. He is recognized nationally as an advocate of the right to take photographs in public places, having appeared in media such as National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, Popular Photography, Shutterbug, and Wired.

He’s also the author of the ubiquitous PDF leaflet The Photographer’s Right and the book Legal Handbook for Photographers: The Rights and Liabilities of Making Images (which I have and heartily recommend).

MAKE sez:

For this weekend project, I’ve made a Kite Arial Photography Rig (KAP). This was one of those projects that require remaking multiple times to get it so that it would fly. I started with a VEX robotics kit and then had to make lots of changes to make it lighter. Watch the video to learn more! For more instructions, please read the instructional post.

Some members of the NYC Social group on Flickr have started a "a photocentric, photolicious podcast featuring interviews with New York City Photoheads".

While the Web site, newyorkflickr.com, is still a little rough around the edges, don’t let that stop you from listening to the engaging first eposide, which features a photo and history stroll around Greenpoint, Brooklyn with Moufle.

You can subscribe to the podcast directly or through iTunes or podfeed.net.
