Content Note: This episode contains a discussion of deep trauma, which may be triggering to some listeners. Please listen with care.

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with James Rice, a Midwest American photographer whose work stretches back to the black and white film days of the late 1950s.

James has spent decades documenting the ordinary moments of life, the kind that often pass unnoticed but reveal deep truths about the human condition. His goal is to capture not only the authenticity of daily life, but those fleeting instants when the ordinary transforms into something magical.

Much of James’s urban photography has taken place on the streets of Chicago, but his lens has also brought him to Indianapolis, Asheville, New Orleans, and New York City. Beyond cities, James has dedicated years to documenting rural Indiana and rural America, where he highlights the beauty and quiet catastrophe of communities facing decline. His images hold both sadness and strange beauty, preserving the dignity of places and people too often overlooked.

In this episode, James and I discuss:

• His journey in photography since the late 1950s

• The philosophy behind capturing the ordinary magic of life

• Stories from photographing urban life in Chicago, New Orleans, NYC, and beyond

• His decades-long documentation of rural America

• The role of photography in exploring trauma, resilience, and truth

  
  

This powerful and emotional conversation with James Rice explores not only the art of photography, but also the healing and storytelling it makes possible.

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Monique Campbell, a photographer whose work is defined by her extraordinary sensitivity to both the world around her and the emotions of others.

Monique’s perspective was shaped by her mother’s experience of World War II in Belgium, a difficult childhood, and her time working as a photojournalist chasing fire trucks and ambulances. These experiences sharpened her ability to notice not just what’s in front of the lens, but the subtle light that shines through the cracks, both literally and figuratively, illuminating deeper truths about humanity.

Her photography captures the delicate balance of resilience and vulnerability, showing us the beauty in places and people often shaped by hardship. Monique’s work is as much about storytelling as it is about image-making, offering an intimate look at the human condition.

In this episode, Monique and I discuss:

• Her journey from a challenging childhood to a career in photojournalism

• How her background shaped her sensitivity and empathy as a photographer

• The meaning behind “light through the cracks” in her work

• Why resilience, struggle, and beauty coexist in the stories she tells

• Her philosophy on photography as a tool for connection and truth

  
  

This is a moving conversation with Monique Campbell, reminding us of the importance of observing not just the light, but the human stories it reveals.
