#223 Chris Grunder teaches photography at Sonoma State University and is a Director at the Bass and Reiner art gallery in San Francisco. Today we talk about contemporary art and the role that photography can play within it. This is a fun and deep theoretical conversation about why we shoot what we shoot.

• How Chris got into photography
  
  
• How failing at his first few dozen rolls of film pushed him to shoot more
  
  
• What is contemporary art
  
  
• Why Chris moved to New York to work with commercial photographers after getting his masters in fine art
