Rachel and Clare are back once again to talk about events and exhibitions going on around the country, pieces of culture people might be interested in seeing and what they've been up to, including putting on a Photography exhibition in a Bank Vault! 

With apologies for the delay in getting this episode to you (due entirely to Clare looking at dog pictures on the internet), it is with the usual big pile of delight that we bring you 3 of the finest of the current available hosts of the Sunny 16 Podcast for a show full of chat about the Photography show and some interesting new work Clare is getting started on, plus all the usual diversions!   https://chroma.camera/ - Home of the Double Glass lens and upcoming Chroma Click https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/collections/accessories/products/intrepid-4x5-film-holder    Rachels Exhibition submission details:   TAKE/MAKE/CREATE - A collective analogue exhibition in a Georgian BANK VAULT! - Free submission! Exhibition Call !! - Open to anyone who has done a workshop with me / Little Vintage Photography, or is a member of my Patreon and/or Darkroom & Studio Membership! At the start of 2024 I made a decision to try to celebrate and share more of the analogue photography that is created by our amazing community, and one of those ways, is to have an exhibition where you can see and share physical prints! Given that there is an original BANK VAULT which has been turned into an exhibition space for hire, literally housed within No.1 Hamilton Square (where the Little Vintage Photography Darkroom & Studio are based) it seemed like the natural choice.  Therefore, for those who are part of the Little Vintage Photography community, I am offering an exhibition call for your favourite, black & white analogue work, to give you an opportunity to exhibit it within this uniquely special place, for a week in April (19th-26th) There will also be a Private View on 19th April 5-7pm (drinks & nibbles stat)!       Eligibility & Entry Criteria: * Be a previous LVP Workshop attendee, a member of the Little Vintage Photography Patreon and/or a Darkroom & Studio Member (p.s. You can join LVP Patreon from £3 a month, or £10 a month as a Darkroom Member!) * Have an image created using an analogue process / shot on film and/or darkroom print * Print size to be up to 10x8" (max) * Black & White only * Open theme of 'Take/Make/Create' - choose a favourite image that you've always wanted to exhibit * You're happy to help share a post or two about the event on social media (if you have SM - don't worry if not!) * You can send the image to arrive (physical print or digital scan) no later than Friday 5th April There is NO submission fee required (I wanted to make it as accessible as possible so am using Patreon support) But if you are in a position to do so, and would like to contribute a little towards the framing, hanging & venue hire costs (as I'll be covering the rest myself), any extra you can spare would be gratefully received - I'll send a PayPal link in a few (and your name / SM handle will of course be added to a sponsors list at the exhibition!) If anyone interested can contact me by 5th April, with a view to getting their piece to me by 12th April, that'd be great! You can comment on this thread, send me a DM on Instagram.com/littlevintagephotography or email me via my website: littlevintagephotography.co.uk/contact You can post a physical print (please ensure it's not your only copy and/or properly insured!) to: Little Vintage Photography, Hamilton Vault Studios, No.1 Hamilton Square, CH41 6AU or send me a high res digital version via wetransfer.com - drop me a line first though, so I can give you full details! Unfortunately, due to funds, I won't be able to post work back, but am happy to keep it for in-person collection, for 3 months after the end of exhibition.

On this weeks show we have return visit from the fabulous pusher of film photography frontiers Dave Walker joining us to talk about his recent adventures creating in-camera colour prints using the Pinsta camera, and making black and white into positive prints with a simple procedure that even Graeme wasn't able to totally mess up.   You can find Dave on Instagram @DavetheWalker His 35mmc articles are here: https://www.35mmc.com/14/02/2024/the-black-and-white-paper-reversal-process/ https://www.35mmc.com/31/05/2023/pinsta-full-colour-instant-4x5-pinhole-prints-without-a-darkroom/   We also spoke to the lovely Emma Lloyd about a print sales project she is running this month to raise money for charity and celebrate International Womens day.    Event details: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3_FgmeyHjd/?igsh=MWYwN3M0NHlzOW51Yg== grainsplaining@gmail.com   @grainsplaining Twitter and IG   @emmajlloyd_   @photoxcore_archive

On 27th of January the world lost a legendary and unique photographer, Brian Griffin. His never ending creativity, off the wall vision and sheer drive to make new and original art left us with a body of work unlike any other, and earned him many plaudits, including Photographer of the Decade for his work in the 1980's.   We were lucky enough to be joined by Brian on the show a couple of times. He was a truly lovely person, generous with his time and with an inexhaustible supply of stories about his work and life. Our conversation with him inspired all of us greatly (John would be referencing knicker elastic for many months after the show), and Clare went on to become good friends with Brian, an unsurprising meeting of creative minds.   In tribute to Brian we're rebroadcasting his first appearance on the show, when we all got introduced to the man behind some truly incredible work, yet who somehow has gotten forgotten about as the years went on. As an added bonus, John was on this show, and it is always wonderful to hear his voice.    https://www.briangriffin.co.uk/

On this show Rachel is joined by the fabulous Billy Sanford to talk about what they've been up to over the festive period, their photography plans and hopes for 2024 and much more - there's plenty to talk about!   Get your pictures in for the Cheap Shots Challenge to sunny16podcast@gmail.com

Welcome to our mini-series on photographic style! We've been wanting to discuss style for ages but didn't feel we could do it justice in a single show so it was a great topic for our first foray into longer conversations. (Yeah, ok some of the earlier Sunny 16s did go on for hours
