Episode #219 Will my camera float? And Kev’s in an Amazon Frenzy!
Neale is still considering whether to douse a Fujifilm camera in a bucket of water to test its water resistance, whilst Kev is keen to put anything with an Apple logo into that same bucket.
We talk about Fujifilm making a film camera; is there a market? We discuss the possibility of the public now hiding from street photographers, favourite photographer documentaries and BEST value camera bags; it seems Kev may be responsible for Mr. Bezos’s fleet of yachts!
Guest of the Week
Our archive guest this week is Lucy Hamidzadeh. In her own words…. “For me, photography and writing are not just about capturing or scribbling down a moment. It’s about the freedom I have to make something unique when I pick up my camera or my pen and notebook. It’s about tapping into my vision, expressing myself and using my imagination. I want to evoke a feeling, whether that’s visually through a photo or through written words. I want to draw you in, I want to grab your attention, and I want to tell you a story.”

Saul Leiter will discuss his photographic work with Vince Aletti, accomplished photography critic and reviewer for the New Yorker.
Leiter began his photographic work recording moments of urban life, becoming a pioneer in the art of color photography, in the 1950's. It is the color work which coordinates lyrical abstraction with the flux of New York City, and has been widely appreciated since the publication in 2006 of the monograph Early Color.
Saul Leiter's work is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Baltimore Museum of Art; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the National Gallery of Australia; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Milwaukee Art Museum; the Yale University Art Gallery; and other prestigious public and private collections. He is represented by the Howard Greenberg Gallery.
