A first for the show, the same guest two weeks running. This time we tried to do the podcast intended for part one, did we succeed? I think so.

We also discovered how good Erik is at reading and answering our listeners’ emails which we have cleverly called “Ask Erik”. From now on email reading and answering will be handled by someone who turns it into a kind of performance art.

Things we chatted about on the show:

“Rides Slow and Take Photos” web article for some background to Erik’s Butterfield overland mail trail bike ride.

Erik sent us several links to things we chatted about on the show and some I don’t think we did! But they all look great.

The work of Consuelo Konaga whose archive is at the Brooklyn Museum.

At the end of Erik’s Butterfield bike ride he ends up at the workshop of Wayne Martin Belger, we chat a bit about Wayne’s “third Eye” skull camera and his “Us and Them” camera which is remarkable.  Erik drew our attention to Wayn’e ground breaking “HIV Bloodworks” project, here is a link.

Eric said “Also, I didn’t touch on him but I wanted to. Josef Koudelka’s “Black Triangle” was the first set of landscapes I’d ever seen that were both stunningly beautiful and incredibly hard hitting from a documentary perspective.

Josef uses the Fuji 617 panoramic camera to brilliant effect. He produced a book called Ruin and has completed a documentary as well.

Erik gives a shout out to artist and activist Lucinda Hinojos who he meets on his trip.

This was made on his Graphic and dollar bill lens after Erik cracked a joke!
