Episode #224 New shiny toys and NEWSFLASH... We’re back on the road again!
This week Kev tries to remain very tight-lipped on the shiny new things Fujifilm has coming, the show is back on the road with an announcement for a London recording in June at the House of Photography - and you can claim your ticket. X-T4 or X-T2, what do I choose?
Why Kev hasn’t been on YouTube so much of late, why you could/should consider shooting P mode, the pitfalls of shooting too much when it comes to the edit, how the magical Tascam audio gizmo works that we’ve been discussing and more. This month’s guest is Fujifilm X-Photographer Kirth Bobb talking about social and street work and the book of the month is Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen’s Byker Revisited.

Book Of The Week
Byker Revisited: Portrait of A Community
Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen moved to the Byker area of Newcastle in 1970 and shortly after her arrival she began to capture the spirit of the community in evocative photographs that formed the basis of a book and film.
Since leaving Byker in 1976, Sirkka has maintained contact with the area and its many residents who have become her friends. BYKER REVISITED is a visual and verbal documentary, a portrait of a contemporary community that is in flux - a community of the poor, the disadvantaged and the refugees who demonstrate life-affirming humanity which is captured in their words and Sirkka's stunning photographs.
Lee Hall, the writer of the film BILLY ELLIOT and the play THE PITMEN PAINTERS, provides an introduction. The exhibition and the Amber documentary film of the same name in 2009 will ensure that this small but famous area of Newcastle will attract a worldwide audience, an audience who will instinctively respond to the basic 'goodness' reflected in the words and pictures.
Some twenty-eight languages are spoken in the Byker area representing a diverse collection of people who could be described as being on the margins of society but the images and interviews collected in BYKER REVISITED affirm a commonality in the hopes and aspirations of this diverse collection of cultures and religions. It is a community that is uniquely Byker.
