Pensive

"I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical."
"I use photography as a way to help me understand why I am here. The camera helps me to see."
Trent Parke
 
In this solo episode, Antonio shares his recent foray into the world of fountain pens and notebooks, a hobby sparked by previous discussions on photo journaling and “Photomancy.” This new interest, while initially a divergence from his photography passion, actually complements it by enhancing his photo journaling practice. He delves into how the tactile experience of writing with quality pens on smooth paper has deepened his engagement with his photographic works, tying it all back to the importance of documenting and preserving memories.
Next, Antonio is excited about a photo publication titled "Closed" by Martin Amis, a book that starkly captures the changing landscapes of UK neighborhoods with its focus on shut-down shops. He draws interesting connections to James and Karla Murray's work, reflecting on the powerful role of photography in documenting the rapid transformations in urban spaces. There's also a bit where he shares a personal experience, highlighting how quickly things can change in our communities and why it's essential to capture these moments.
Wrapping up, Antonio delves into "Monument" by Trent Parke, a photobook that's more than just a collection of images. He describes its unique design elements that make flipping through it an experience in itself. The book's exploration of the universe's disintegration through black and white photography really strikes a chord. Antonio's take on the book goes beyond the visual; he's intrigued by its tactile and even olfactory elements. He teases a potential deep dive into Trent Parke’s work in future episodes, tying everything back to the broader theme of discovery and the importance of taking the time to truly engage with art and the world.

Photomancy

"In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration."-- Ansel Adams
 
"My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation."-- Abbas Attar
 
The episode kicks off with a discussion about renowned photographer Larry Fink, whose recent passing left Antonio and Ward with a sense of regret for not exploring his extensive body of work earlier.

Their discussion highlights the ongoing push for technological advancements in cameras.
The central theme of this episode revolves around "Photomancy," a novel concept (and new word!) Antonio introduced. Inspired by the ancient Chinese spiritual book, the I Ching, it involves using one's photo library for self-reflection and inspiration. Antonio shares his experience of posing a profound question related to his creative self, selecting a random photo from his collection, and exploring the emotions and memories it evoked. Ward is intrigued by the possibilities, particularly when dealing with emotionally charged subjects and future photography projects.
In conclusion, Antonio and Ward express their excitement about continuing their Photomancy journey, emphasizing that photography is not merely about capturing images but also a path to self-discovery and personal growth.

Bucking the Norm

Antonio and Ward discuss the recent announcement by Apple about their VisionPro headset, which offer spatial computing and a mix of augmented reality and virtual reality experiences. Antonio expresses his skepticism in the immersive photography capabilities of the headset, which can capture images in 3D and provide a unique viewing experience. He compares the headset to a scene from a movie called "Real Life" where a filmmaker wears a similar camera setup to document a family's life. Antonio ponders the idea of being removed from an event while capturing it through a headset and questions the authenticity of such memories. 
Next, Ward remembers his recent experience at a rodeo event where he decided to approach photography in a more liberated and unconventional manner. He used a journal to explore his own mindset and capture images that evoked feelings rather than following a specific narrative. This departure from his usual approach, such as shooting for a book, allowed him to shoot freely without external constraints. Ward reflects on the newfound freedom he felt and the different compositions and subjects he captured. He also contemplates the potential integration of this experience into his street photography and the deeper personal and philosophical thoughts that arose during the process. Ward plans to continue the project and is considering expanding it beyond rodeos. He mentions his intention to create a journal with printed photos and observations to further explore his direction. Overall, this shift in Ward's photography approach brought unexpected insights and progress.
Finally, Ward and Antonio talk about the recent video by Alex Kilbee on Vivian Maier and the idea of photographers not sharing their work. They reflect on the complexities of labeling oneself as a photographer and the influence of social media on the perception of photography. They question whether photographers are obligated to showcase their work and the potential impact of audience feedback on artistic expression. They also mention their personal experiences with sharing images on social media platforms and the decision to reduce their online presence.

Why Post Process?

Antonio and Ward are continuing their series on the "whys" of photography, this time emphasizing the significance of post-processing. They believe that a photo is not just limited to the act of taking a picture, but extends beyond it to the process of editing and refining the image. For them, post-processing is an essential part of their creative process and enables them to bring their vision to life. They emphasize the importance of not overlooking this stage as it plays a crucial role in the final outcome of a photo.
