"Photography books often have titles like The Photographer’s Eye or The Vision of So and So or Seeing Photographs - as if photographers didn’t have minds, only eyes."-- Duane Michals
“A book is like a piece of music; it has a beginning and an end, but what happens in between is up to you.”
-- Stephen Shore
In this episode, Antonio talks about connecting with his new Fujifilm X100VI camera during a photo walk around New York City. He reflects on how much he enjoys shooting with this camera, which feels just right in his hands and helps him capture the energy of the city. As fall sets in and the days get shorter, he’s planning to head back out for some night photography, especially around the bright lights of Times Square.
Ward shares his recent experience photographing the Pride parade in Calgary. He usually shoots in black and white but decided to switch things up and capture the parade’s vibrant colors. It turned out to be a lively and colorful event, full of energy and emotion, and gave him a new perspective on his work. He also took a vintage Rolleicord camera to a local car show, revisiting the slower, more thoughtful process of shooting medium format film. These experiences got him thinking about how different settings and equipment can change the way you see and capture the world.
The guys also talk about their latest finds in photo books.
Antonio shares his experience attending the ICP Photo Book Fest in New York City, where picked up some new titles including Todd Hido’s "On Landscapes, Interiors, and the Nude", which explores the emotional impact of color and composition, and Trent Parke’s "Minutes to Midnight", which offers a stark, striking view of life in Australia. He also discusses his motivations for selecting specific books and how they can aid in teaching photography.
Ward also talks about a local photography book launch event he attended, featuring the work of pure mathematician and photographer Arturo Pianzola. He also brings up "Eight Seconds: Black Rodeo Culture" by Ivan McClellan, a book that dives into the unique and underrepresented world of Black rodeo. He describes the vivid color photographs that capture the people, culture, and atmosphere of this often-overlooked part of American life. The book opened his eyes to a new side of rodeo culture, adding another layer to his understanding of photography’s role in telling diverse stories.
