On today’s podcast I speak with photographer Mike Mandel. In this interview I speak to Mike about growing up in Southern California how he discovered photography and his first book titled “MYSELF : Timed Exsposures” a series of self portraits he took with a variety of strangers. I also speak to Mike about his longtime creative partnership with fellow photographer  Larry Sultan and the book titled “Evidence” which they created together sifting through thousands of photographs they found from various government agencies, aerospace companies, and research institutes. Much of Mike’s work is conceptual in nature so I was excited to get him on the podcast to discuss his journey with photography and all the interesting projects he’s worked on. I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
