Lartigue Redux

 
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.

The Ambrotypist

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."

Word Up

 
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.

Ipanema Dreams

(image ©Sandra Cattaneo Adorno)
In this episode, Antonio and Ward had the privilege of interviewing Brazilian-born photographer, Sandra Cattaneo Adorno. Sandra began photography career eight years ago when her daughter enrolled her in Alex and Rebecca Webb's street photo workshop in Barcelona for her 60th birthday. Since then, she has traveled the world photographing people in her own unique way. Last year, Radius Books published Sandra's second photo book, "Águas De Ouro," (which translates to "Waters of Gold.") which in itself is a work of art. The Street Shots guys talk to Sandra about her book and what it's like to be a creative and successful midlife photographer.
