I sat down with Robb Kendrick for a live Eazy Does It Podcast here at Eazy’s. Robb was a photographer for National Geographic for 32 years. His camera took him around the world, and introduced him to people & places he never thought he’d experience as a kid from small town Texas with aspirations of being a truck driver. • The majority of this podcast focuses on a project Robb did back in 2004 where he photographed cowboy’s across the western United States. Robb photographed these individuals utilizing a process known as Tintype. A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photograph (photograph) made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel. • It is a very intensive process that came with it the respect of the ranch workers, because they recognize hard work. It’s beautiful to see how their character is expressed through these photographs. There is a sense of timelessness in this style of photography. You will hear simple stories, and uncomplicated perspectives from men and women that still live peacefully not too far from where we are now. These stories remind me to not over complicate things, or get caught up in the rat race we call life. • Our conversation extended beyond this project, and we heard stories from illegal coal mines to photographing Guantanamo Bay. I hope y’all enjoy Robb’s insight and the conversation we dove into. • Bringing the conversation of community & culture to Austin, TX. • Please give us a RATING & REVIEW if you enjoyed the episode & be sure to SUBSCRIBE! • Instagram: @eazy.does.it Studio: @eazys.studio Email: [email protected] Website: eazydoesit.org
