Before we dive into this week’s episode (number 588, btw), just a quick reminder: two spots are still available in the Photo Book Club—Click on the link under the workshop menu for more details. This week, the inspiration for this episode came from the book we are reading for the book club — Robert Adams’s Why People Photograph. But before we dig into our topic. We lost two great photographers this past week. Both Duane Michals and David Hockney passed away. Duane pushed photography into the realms of narrative, imagination, and personal expression, and reminded us that photographs could ask questions rather than provide answers. David said he took pictures (30,000) from time to time, and he continually encouraged us to reconsider how we see and work with ideas as complex and dynamic rather than as frozen moments. While they will be missed, we have such a great archive of their work. If you haven’t looked at their work, it’s worth your time. Our main topic for the week is about those exact moments of the shutter clicking. For many, photography is something we do almost automatically. Cameras are always within reach, and images are made billions of times a day. Yet beneath every photograph lies a simple question: Why did we choose to photograph that particular moment? In this episode, I explore some of the ideas behind the why of our photographs. For some of us, photography begins with attention. Before there is a photograph, there is an act of noticing. Something in the world captures our interest, interrupts our routine, and asks us to pause. The camera becomes a way to acknowledge that moment. We might photograph to remember, but photographs aren’t records of the past. They become memory triggers, opening doors to experiences, emotions, and stories that often fade or are forgotten. We also photograph to understand who we are and the world we live in. The camera allows us to investigate the world, ask questions, and discover meanings we might have overlooked. It allows us to push back when things aren’t right and celebrate what is good. Maybe our photographs reveal something about who we are. The subjects we return to, the moments that move us, and the scenes that capture our attention all provide clues about what we value and how we see the world, all acting like a form of self-portraiture. Ultimately, photography may not be about collecting images at all. It may be about collecting these moments and places of attention and creating a deeper connection to the world around us.

The first Alex Murdaugh trial wasn't just decided in a courtroom — it was swallowed by everything around it. A clerk of court writing a book about the case while she was supposed to be guarding the jury. Cameras in every corner of Walterboro. Podcasters, streamers, and true crime creators turning a small South Carolina town into a content farm. And when the dust settled, the state Supreme Court threw the whole verdict out, in part because of what happened to that jury outside the evidence.Now meet the woman in charge of making sure it never happens again. Judge Debra McCaslin wrote on her own judicial questionnaire that she is not a fan of social media and very rarely looks at it. The state of South Carolina just handed the most internet-obsessed criminal case in America to a judge who, by her own account, doesn't engage with any of it. In this Alex Murdaugh retrial breakdown, we ask whether that makes her exactly the wrong person for this moment — or the only kind of judge who can survive it. A jurist who can't be rattled by the noise might be the cure for a case that was poisoned by noise. Or she might be walking into a storm she's never bothered to look at.We also get into who McCaslin is beneath the questionnaire: the self-made path that took her from a senator's office to her own law practice to the bench, her overlooked history with one of the lawyers now defending Murdaugh, and the rulings she'll make on venue, evidence, and a possible death penalty fight that will define trial number two before it starts.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We often talk about framing a photo to get the best composition, but sometimes we don't nail it. Or we realize in editing that a tighter crop would be better. Or something crept into the edge of the frame at the last second. In this episode, we talk about cropping photos, whether AI cropping is worth trying, and why there's only One True Aspect Ratio.

The digital age has turned everyone into a broadcaster. Cameras are always rolling. Phones are always recording. But what happens when the footage captures something it was never meant to see? That chilling idea is at the heart of PICK-UP, the new crime thriller one-shot from AWA Studios, written by Michael Coast and arriving in comic shops on March 18. In this episode of the Comic Crusaders Podcast, Al Mega sits down with Coast to explore the inspiration behind the story and the dangers hiding inside our always-online world. PICK-UP dives headfirst into the collision between social media fame and violent crime. The story follows an influencer whose carefully curated online life spirals out of control when background footage captures a dangerous secret. Suddenly, the camera that once fueled his success becomes the key to unraveling everything. For Coast, the project marks an exciting shift from editor to creator. As a Senior Editor at AWA Studios, he has played a key role in shaping projects from other writers and artists. With PICK-UP, he steps forward as the storyteller himself, bringing a tense, modern thriller to readers. During the conversation, Coast shares insights into the creative process behind the comic, the influence of classic suspense storytelling, and how modern technology has changed the way crime stories can be told. The episode also explores: • Michael Coast's journey into comics • The transition from editor to writer • The influence of Hitchcock-style storytelling • The role of social media in modern thrillers • How technology reshapes crime narratives PICK-UP promises a suspenseful ride that blends psychological tension with a chillingly realistic premise. If cameras truly record everything, sometimes they capture truths people would rather keep hidden. PICK-UP arrives March 18 from AWA Studios.

This Day in Maine for Friday, June 12th, 2026.
Shutter Brothers Wayne and Kevin are back with some great listener email about mixing your own photo chemistry, wide angle lenses for large format cameras, and a topic close to Wayne's heart: spreading kindness through art. Wayne ielplains how he is rebooting his Random Acts of Art project by making small prints, matting them, and leaving them in random places for people to find. Meanwhile, Kevin continues to work out which cameras to take to Ireland this fall, and his most reason idea allows for him to shoot both color and b&w film with the same camera. Listen to find out how. Happy Photography everyone!

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,055, June 9, 2026. Today's theme is, "Capture vs Post Production: What's More Important?" I'm Derrick Story. Cameras today include a variety of tools, such as built-in film simulations and LUTs, to help us put our creative stamp on every picture we capture. At the same time, post production apps are more powerful than ever, and easier to use. So, what's the perfect mix of creative capture and image editing? I explore this question on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
In this 100th episode of Cowgirls with Cameras, we're talking about what makes a photo feel Western beyond the obvious hats, horses, and big pretty skies. Western imagery is built through the details: worn leather, dust, weathered wood, sweat marks, denim, rope, cowgirl braids, open space, hard honest work, and a strong sense of place. It's about texture that tells the truth, space that gives the image a little room to breathe, and storytelling that makes the viewer wonder what happened before the frame and what comes next. The most powerful Western photographs are not overly polished or staged to perfection. They feel real. They show the relationship between people, animals, land, tradition, and daily life. When texture, space, and story come together, a Western photograph becomes more than a beautiful image. It becomes a visual record of a way of life.We also want to send out big THANK YOUS to our sponsors for supporting our most recent Montana photography event held at the Circle Bar Guest Ranch. Guild Canvas Company and Greater Than Gatsby have been amazing to work with and support photographers in so many ways. Go check them out!

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!A four-lens 3D camera lab. A crash course in corporate chaos. A front-row seat to the switch from film and chemicals to digital video and modern production. Gary Pageau interviews Bryan Wetzel about his path from photography school into Nishika Corp.'s R&D lab, experimenting with lenticular 3D imaging, large-format printing, and early efforts toward computer-based 3D, plus shooting Nishika projects including an instructional video with Alan Thicke and a commercial with Little Richard. Wetzel takes us inside his time at Nishika, where lenticular 3D photography meant optical processes, experimental rigs, and constant problem-solving. From there, we dig into the realities of shooting and editing, why “fix it in post” can become an excuse for sloppy work, and how being early to digital created real opportunity when clients suddenly wanted faster workflows and better quality.Then the conversation widens to the business of media and entrepreneurship: why Georgia's transferable film tax incentives helped studios and crews actually take root, how Wetzel helped build a teacher-led educational video platform before online learning was polished, and what happened when he accidentally became a gym owner and later took over a restaurant right before lockdown. Along the way, Wetzel shares the most useful small business advice he learned from a no-nonsense mentor: say no without explaining yourself, don't fall in love with your business, and write the business plan before your heart lies to your head.Wetzel explains transitioning from still photography to video because corporate clients wouldn't fund film, adopting early digital editing and cameras in Georgia ahead of the 1996 Olympics, and building a corporate client base. He discusses Georgia's transferable film tax credits, then describes launching an educational-video company around 2008 that produced about 1,500–1,900 teacher-led videos and assessments for schools before being sold. He later acquired a gym (2017), briefly ran a restaurant through COVID-era challenges, sold it, and now writes books, sharing key business lessons on saying no, not overcommitting emotionally to a business, and writing realistic business plans.Energize your sales with Shareme.chat, the proven texting platform.

Last month, the City of Las Vegas unanimously approved a new traffic camera program that's not about speeding tickets – but collecting traffic data. It's in the hopes of improving street safety and won't be used by police, city leaders say, but also comes after local police leaders have tried (and failed) to install wide dragnets of red light cameras across the city over the past few years. So what gives? Today, we revisit a conversation between Dayvid Figler and Erin Breen, director of UNLV's Road Equity Alliance Project, to dig deep on not just why so many drivers hate these cameras, but why so many city leaders love them.

Episode 301: This week's episode dives into the tech stories that should keep you up at night. We start with the chilling reality of the 23andMe breach—proof that your genetic code, the one thing you can never change, can be stolen, sorted, and sold to the highest bidder. Then we move to smart‑city surveillance gone rogue, where police camera networks keep recording even after the city tries to shut them down, leaving officials resorting to trash bags and tape while the data quietly flows elsewhere. Add in AI-driven hardware shortages now hitting consumer devices, and the picture gets even more unsettling.But the unease doesn't stop there. We tease emerging tech that blurs the line between science and science fiction: Wi‑Fi systems that can identify you through walls, living neuron computers that learn, and AI models struggling to admit what they don't know. Finally, we ground it all with a space‑tech reality check—from Blue Origin delays to SpaceX's crypto holdings—reminding listeners that even the companies shaping the future aren't immune to chaos. If you want the stories that reveal how fragile our digital world really is, this is the episode you don't skip all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:Your genetic code is now a commodity, and the scariest part is you can't cancel it, replace it, or reset it like a password. We open with the 23andMe breach and lawsuit, unpacking how credential stuffing can unlock deeply personal genetic data, why DNA privacy is permanent, and what it means when stolen data can be resold and targeted by group. If you've ever wondered whether consumer DNA testing is worth the risk, we lay out the tradeoffs in plain terms.Then we head straight into smart city surveillance with a story that's equal parts absurd and alarming: police camera networks that can't be shut off by the city that paid for them. When officials learn data is being shared beyond local law enforcement, the “solution” becomes literal black trash bags over the lenses. It's funny until you realize it exposes a bigger issue in public tech contracts, license plate reader systems, and who truly controls the technology embedded in daily life.We also connect the dots between AI infrastructure and your wallet, using the Steam Deck OLED price hike as a real-world signal of component shortages, supply chain pressure, and AI data centers consuming the same memory and compute ecosystem that powers consumer devices. Along the way, we play Two Truths and a Lie with stories about Wi-Fi based person identification and living neuron biocomputing, then talk AI reliability and the push for models that can finally say “I don't know” instead of hallucinating. We close with a space tech reality check from Blue Origin and a blunt conversation about SpaceX's Bitcoin holdings and why crypto still feels like speculation to a lot of people.If you like tech news that's practical, skeptical, and still fun, subscribe for weekly episodes, share this with a friend who loves debating privacy and AI, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
***This episode includes details of alleged sexual offences and misconduct and includes descriptions which some listeners might find distressing*** Married at First Sight UK is one of the UK's biggest reality TV shows. The dating format sees complete strangers marry in a mock-wedding, before moving in together and sharing a bed. Cameras follow what happens next. The BBC has uncovered allegations that raise serious concerns that welfare procedures on the reality show have failed contributors, leaving them at risk. Three women have told the BBC they were victims of sexual assault, and misconduct, by their former on-screen husbands. The men deny all the allegations against them, and both Channel 4 and CPL - the independent production company that makes the series - say the welfare protocols are robust and comprehensive.Following this investigation, Channel 4 has announced an external review into contributor welfare and has removed all previous seasons of MAFS UK.Noor Nanji, BBC culture correspondent, tells the story behind her investigation which has shaken the reality TV industry. And she discusses whether a scandal like this could provoke a new reckoning in the genre.(Photo: Shona Manderson, a ‘bride' on Married at First Sight UK)

What happens to African creative workers after the contract is signed and the camera stops rolling? In Episode 142, filmmaker Mr Takunda joins IP Series for an unflinching conversation about who really owns African film and who profits from it.From buy-out clauses that strip writers and directors of long-term earnings, to the collapse of major streaming platforms and what that means for content catalogues, this episode covers the conversations the industry avoids having in public.Topics include: why African licensing deals are rarely revenue-sharing; what rights filmmakers surrender to streamers and investors; whether African actors will ever see Hollywood-style residuals; the Showmax restructuring and its IP implications; and what a fairer system for African creatives would actually require.If you create, invest in, or care about African storytelling, this episode is a must listen.Subscribe to IPSERIES for conversations at the intersection of intellectual property and the real world.Thank you for listening, and see you next time on the IP Series podcast!LinkedIn: Takunda Aaron (Zen ISA) Chimutashu=================================IPSERIES PODCAST- Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/groups/836484013662125/- Instagram: Instagram- Email: ipseriesinfo@gmail.com=================================SOCIAL MEDIA BY: Rita Anwiri Chindah=================================LOGO DESIGN BY: Rita Anwiri Chindah ipseries_with_reedah | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | https://linktr.ee/ipseries_with_reedah?subscribe
Charlie Kirk Trial: Media Coverage, Public Trials, and Constitutional RightsFrom the Salem witch trials to those classic moments in To Kill a Mockingbird, and right on through to modern high-profile cases like the O.J. Simpson and Lindbergh trials, we've always loved a good courtroom drama. But as our technology has evolved, so have the questions: Should cameras or reporters have a place in the courtroom? And what rights are really at stake here?The Kirk Case Up CloseLately, a lot of us have been focused on the Charlie Kirk murder trial. I take a look at how the defense tried to keep cameras out, arguing that it would be prejudicial to their client. But the judge ultimately ruled against them—the cameras are staying, and the public gets to watch 02:18. That leads to the bigger question: What does the law really say about this?Media vs. Defendant: Whose Right Is It?Here's the real crux: The Sixth Amendment does guarantee a right to a speedy and public trial, but the Supreme Court has made it clear—that's the defendant's right, not the media's 02:47. So, while the public can attend, courts retain the power to keep cameras out. In fact, federal courts still ban cameras completely 02:59. Sometimes you'll get a sketch artist or special permission for audio, but that's it 03:16.The Legal LandmarksI walked through a couple of important cases. Back in Estes v. Texas (1965), the Supreme Court worried about cameras subtly influencing the courtroom process 04:00. Later, in Chandler v. Florida (1981), the Court refused to install an automatic ban on cameras, but said they could be excluded if there was a specific, articulable prejudice 04:55. In other words, you've got to explain exactly how it would hurt your case—not just say it might.Why Open Trials MatterWhat's the point of all this? I strongly believe public trials are a vital check against government abuse. As I said in the episode, “Our system loves sunshine” 06:40. When the public keeps an eye on the process, it's a lot tougher for things to go wrong in secret. That's not to say the system is perfect—but it's a lot better with the spotlight on it 06:56.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Made with the finest ingredients we could find in the back of the 'fridge (and/or on the cutting room floor), we've got trucker skills, Tesla fails, drinking ideas versus sobering wrenches, gas prices, beer tourism, estate sale chemicals, thoughts on mass-air sensors, why so many reverse-cameras are being recalled (rightly so - turn your head already), and how to avoid the dreaded doom-loop of bad-idea layering. Meanwhile, there's the random outsourcing with the Walkin' Dude, Mr. Intolerant, White Mark the Diversity Hire, Tony Sawaya, Homer Simpson and Henchman 23.
Send us Fan Mail I'm taking you inside the Summer House Season 10 reunion Part 1 with a gossip dump you won't get anywhere else — and what I'm seeing on that couch is not what it looks like. Kyle Cooke's reaction to everything coming out about Amanda Batula and West Wilson is raising serious red flags for me, and I play you audio of West on his own podcast that I think gives away exactly what he's really after. Amanda flat-out lied to Ciara Miller — not once, not twice, but in writing, repeatedly, doubling and tripling down — and we hear those DMs read aloud on the reunion couch. West meanwhile is wearing that horsehair tie on national television and I play you the moment he's asked to explain it, because what Amanda admits she knew when he was wearing it will make your jaw drop. I also play you Margaret Josephs' Page Six interview defending Jen Fessler publicly — and then I share the insider tea on this. That's just the beginning, because the full Patreon episode goes so much deeper: I do a deep dive into Amanda Stavely — Diana Jenkins' arch enemy — her secret relationship with Prince Andrew, her role in the Barclay Bank scandal that nearly destroyed Diana's husband Roger Jenkins, and why she turned down a marriage proposal from a royal only to end up broke. Then we get into the explosive update on Prince Andrew's expanding Epstein investigation, a Florida woman, Royal Lodge Windsor, and the name Brad Edwards that you need to know. And finally I read Hayden Panettiere's book — specifically the chapter she named after Diana Jenkins' provocative photography project — and the mysterious "Stella" character on that superyacht in Cannes with an Oscar-winning director who does something... the devil is in the detail on who these people are... and I need your help figuring it out.

That Don't Sound Right is a podcast about talking—the way we did before the internet took over every conversation. No constant fact-checking, no endless scrolling, just curious people trying to make sense of the world. In this episode, Peter and Cecil take a closer look at the growing network of automated license-plate readers known as Flock and the grassroots Deflock movement that tracks and maps those cameras. What starts as a discussion about crime prevention quickly expands into a larger conversation about privacy, surveillance, technology, and the trade-offs communities face in an increasingly monitored world. The hosts explore how modern camera systems can identify vehicle make, model, color, and distinguishing features, how neighborhoods and businesses use these networks, and why law enforcement agencies find them valuable for locating stolen vehicles and investigating crimes. They also examine concerns about data collection, surveillance creep, and the possibility of systems being used in ways never originally intended. Along the way, Peter and Cecil discuss gunshot-detection technology, crowd-sourced camera maps, and the lengths some people go to avoid being tracked—all while asking the central question: How much privacy are we willing to trade for security? It's a thoughtful, entertaining conversation about modern technology, personal freedom, and the changing relationship between citizens, communities, and surveillance. Because when every road seems to have a camera pointed at it, you have to wonder... does that sound right?

What's up bros? Steel seems to think that this was a "better" episode while Shooter is still staunchly against that notion. While we're debating whether this show might have a future, Danny and Nia are acting like (once again) everyone is just out to get them rather than looking in the mirror and realizing they need to make actual changes not just address things off camera and come onto camera as different, happier people. We're thankful that we're seeing Doute and Luke in a better light (thanks Jermaine) while finally getting a nice scene with Michelle & Jesse, albeit the end of their divorce struggles.

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday on a slow news day that gets genuinely interesting when a chat member drops a link and Jon discovers 98,000 AI-powered Flock surveillance cameras mapped across the United States, run by a private company that shares data freely with law enforcement and ICE. He had never heard of them. Now he has feelings. Trump's cabinet meeting produced two notable moments: a detailed fraud task force update from JD Vance with Steven Miller claiming that stopping government fraud entirely could balance the federal budget, and Trump's tribute to outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard, which Jon uses as another reminder to temper expectations about her upcoming reports. On Iran, Trump said the country is negotiating on fumes with 250% inflation and an economy in free fall, and added that he does not care about the midterms, which Jon connects directly to the hibernation theory. Ken Paxton crushed John Cornyn in the Texas senate primary, making Cornyn the first Republican senator from Texas ever to lose his own party's nomination. SpaceX just received a $2.29 billion contract to build a military satellite network and Jon plays a 2022 Kash Patel clip that makes the whole thing feel less surprising. Joe Biden is suing the DOJ to stop the Robert Hur audio recordings from dropping on June 15.
Grass Valley Deputy Chief of Police Steve Johnson told the public assembled at Tuesday night's City Council meeting that his agency has "become aware of a conversation in the community related to the automatic license plate reading cameras," calling people's concerns and questions valid, adding that the GVPD is committed to trust and transparency. That meeting is scheduled for June 10th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at the Love Building in Condon Park.Nevada County will test its new emergency alert system on May 28th, beginning at 10:30am.

HT2633 - Small Cameras When I was a youngster, my grandfather gave me his Minox B so-called "spy camera." I loved this tiny wonder in spite of the difficulty getting or processing its miniature film. Oh, and the grainy prints were awful; the lens barely functional; the focus always a guess. But it fit in my pocket and I could take it everywhere. I loved that camera, but I hated the pictures that came from it. I wonder why I don't love my smartphone with equal enthusiasm. Is it because it's too easy, too capable, and too excellent? Perhaps if my grandfather had given me an iPhone I'd be more enthusiastic about using it.

The behavioral contradiction at the center of the Kouri Richins sentencing is staggering. She stood at a podium and told her sons not to hold hate. Prosecutors say she spent the years leading up to that moment orchestrating attacks against every person connected to this case from inside her jail cell.The sentencing memo documents what prosecutors describe as a systematic campaign: a fake dating profile of the lead detective posted online, what they characterize as false DCFS reports against the family raising her children, retained counsel to pursue criminal charges against her sister-in-law, federal firearms charges pursued against Eric's father for removing his dead son's guns, a marijuana report on Eric's sister, and unfounded bar complaints against the prosecutors. According to the memo, none of it had merit. All of it had a target. The psychology behind the pattern — DARVO, narcissistic injury response — is textbook. Prosecutors called her character "irredeemable."Then the courtroom behavior. Cameras caught Kouri scoffing and rolling her eyes while her sons' statements were read by therapists describing locked rooms, fear, and children caring for each other because she wasn't. When her own family took the podium to call her innocent, the tears appeared — instant, performative, and reserved for her own suffering. That contrast became the defining image of the proceeding.Judge Mrazik sentenced her to life without parole on what would have been Eric Richins' forty-fourth birthday. Her forty-minute allocution told her sons to "be like your dad," told them their childhood memories were "an absolute lie," and directed them away from the people keeping them safe. She acknowledged nothing. A post-conviction message to an "admirer" ended with a winking emoji: "They haven't seen anything yet."Her nine-year-old son said: "Once she is gone, I will feel happy."Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jamie Howard is the filmmaker behind Chasing Silver, Running the Coast, Location X, Black Salmon, and Bass The Movie — and yesterday he sat down with me to talk about his new podcast Cameras Off, the Tarpon Diaries series he's launching inside it, and where the show is going next as it expands beyond fishing Jamie and I have been crossing paths for more than twenty years. He pulled me into Location X back when I was figuring out the film world, and he's still the kind of person who looks at the water like he's seeing it for the first time. That's part of why his films land. The reason I want you to listen to this one is simple. The article gives you the topics. The audio gives you Jamie — his timing, his hedge, the way he laughed when I told him I thought there was a foot in the frame of his most famous shot. None of that translates to text. Hear it from him. Follow Cameras Off on Spotify — Season 1 is out, the Tarpon Diaries series drops on Thursdays, and the channel is widening out to include adventure photographers, Red Bull wingsuit flyers, and outdoor stories beyond fishing.
