Everyday Photography, Every Day

I've long been fascinated by the photographs made by Wallace "Wally" Wilson in the 1970s-1980s; he was a professor of photography at the University of Florida when I was a kid, alongside other historic faculty like Jerry Uelsmann, Evon Streetman, Doug Prince, and Todd Walker. Wilson was part of an exciting time in the history of photography, as well as being a cool example of what I would describe as "haiku photography" -- although he would never have described his work that way.

Today we're joined by John Lambert and William Loftus, successful tech professionals and excellent amateur photographers, who were recent students in Rubin's experimental "The Art of Composition -- Reimagined" workshop. The group discuss the difficult topic and what it means to be a photographer.

The great photographer Elliott Erwitt passed away last November, but we sat down with his son-in-law, the Internationally acclaimed photographer Rick Smolan, to discuss Erwitt's life and work. Few have had such a close vantage on this inspiration to so many photographers today.

Where we catch up and review some travel photography, the definition of photography, the passing of the great Elliott Erwitt, the nature of composition and other various rants.

We're joined by professor and photographic artist Ed Bateman, from the University of Utah, to discuss Rubin's issues with "pure seeing" and the 100-years debate about how much modification can you do to a photo before you change it fundamentally.

We're back and catching up on workshops, lessons from the summer, Rubin's new camera and, of course, Suzanne's hat.

Even after only a few years shooting photos, and inspired by the work of Minor White, Guy Tal and Eliot Porter (among others), Jason Pettit produces beautiful and sensitive landscapes. His personal process is inspiring and instructive.

Nina and Rubin meet in Paris and go shooting. Rubin's haiku book is finished and Nina's Duologues book is ready for pre-orders! It's a fun catch up with Welch-Kling!

The hottest topic in AI is the new "art" creation tool called Dall-E, and after a few weeks of falling down the rabbit hole playing in this new world, and considering the implications on photography (as well as illustration) our hosts invite domain expert Dr. Aaron Hertmann--from Adobe's research team--to explore Dall-E and other aspects of computational photography.

As Rubin explores the world of photo fairs, industry leader Chris Davies takes us into Photo Independent, Paris Photo and NFTs. A must-listen episode for photographers starting to sell their work.
