Over the past several episodes. we've covered a wide range of topics and had some excellent guests on the show. While we love predetermined topics, the original concept of the Camerosity Podcast was that any topic is always on the table, so from time to time, we like to "wing it" and start recording without any idea of what we're talking about. Episode 95 was one such episode where Anthony, Paul, Stephen, and Mike logged into Zoom, hit record and let everyone in! As always seems to happen, the show fills up quickly with GAS discussion. Guests sharing their recent pickups and anything they're shooting now. For this episode, we were joined by AJ Gentile, Darin Cozine, Jeremy Scott, Kyle Liu, Nick Marshall, Robert Coates, Shane Pacheco and Will Pinkham. We start out the GAS discussion covering Bronica and Mamiya SLRs and TLRs. A discussion about the S2 and S2A and issues with foam seals which need to be replaced on pretty much all Bronica S-series cameras. Anthony shares his experience on a new (to him) Contax D SLR he picked up and that spawned a lengthy discussion on the Contax SLR's shutter and the unique sounds it makes. Jeremy shares the pickup of a lifetime at a recent estate sale in rural Oklahoma where he bought a Zeiss-Ikon Hologon Ultrawide, Canon f/0.95 "Dream Lens", and other highly sought after wide angle lenses. Mike discusses an upcoming storage locker of cameras in Texas he will be picking up soon, along with his pickup of a very early Contax S and an Orion Miranda T with the rare Zunow lens. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are going to cover AGFA. As the German equivalent of Kodak, AGFA has a long history of making both cameras and film stocks, so our intent is to do their history some justice and cover their most memorable models and emulsions. We will record Episode 96 on Monday, July 28th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time. In This Episode Jumping Straight into GAS / Bronica S2 vs S2A / Mamiya C33 Professional / Who Used the Mamiya TLRs? Anthony Buys a Murder Scene Camera / Paul Sold Cameras to Coroners Bronica vs Hasselblad / Nikkor Lenses on Medium Format Cameras All Bronica S/S2/S2A Cameras Will Need Their Foam Replaced or Images Will Be Out of Focus Anthony Receives and Shoots a Zeiss-Ikon Contax D SLR Mike Gives a Very Poor Explanation for Why 100 and 125 are the Safest Shutter Speeds The Contax SLR and KW Praktina Have a Similar Design Language / Contax vs Pentax?

The horrific crimes committed by Lori Vallow Daybell, her brother, Alex Cox, and her fifth husband, author Chad Daybell were all the more outrageous because of the number of people who gladly joined their religious cult. Law enforcement has mentioned other co-conspirators. We know that Lori's niece, Melani Pawlowski, is someone who is being investigated. Another person who was around Lori and Chad from the very beginning when they met was Zulema Pastenes. Alex even married Zulema 12 days before his suspicious death. Many wonder just how involved Zulema may have been.In today's video, I take you through all things "Zulema," from how she met Lori and Chad to her "end days" with Alex Cox.

"Join us for a special episode of Tell The Damn Story!
We are back with Episode 94 of the Camerosity Podcast. For this episode, we decided to revisit a topic we covered all the way back in Episode 30, which is talking about camera stores with people who work in camera stores. Joining us for the discussion are Meredith and Corey Reinker from Roberts Camera (aka UsedPhotoPro) in Indianapolis, Indiana and Zeb Andrews from Blue Moon Camera and Machine in Portland, Oregon. Of course, two of the Camerosity hosts, Paul and Stephen both used to work in camera stores too, so between those four, we were well represented. Much has changed in the photography space since we did our last camera store episode. Releases of new cameras like the Pentax 17, Rollei 35 AF, and recent announcements of a new "film like" digital Yashica SLR have caused a lot of ruckus and it will be interesting to hear how actual camera store people see these latest developments. Joining Paul, Stephen, Theo, Mike, and our special guests was a long list of callers including A.J. Gentile, Betty Ann Cochrane, Brad, Dan Hausman, Hong Lee, Howard Sandler, Larry Effler, Miles Libak, Pat Casey, Shane from Discord, and Will Pinkham. During the show we ask Meredith, Corey, and Zeb a wide range of questions ranging from what differentiates their stores which has allowed them to remain successful well into the era of digital photography. We cover what the modern camera store customer looks like today and what makes photography appealing to a younger crowd. We cover both lab and home developing, what one camera both camera stores wish there was an unlimited amount of, how they acquire their inventory of used cameras, and Zeb shares a cool story about how Blue Moon developed a roll of film which had images of Mount St. Helens erupting. Mike gets excited that he received a bottle of the new Adox Syrup 110 developer and attempts to break down the myth that C41 home developing is difficult. Theo and Zeb counter that you shouldn't be shamed into developing your own film and that the consistency of a professional lab is worth it. While most episodes are a lot of fun to record, while doing this one, it was amazing how fast the two hours went, and I wish we could have talked to Meredith, Corey, and Zeb longer. Who knows, maybe we'll return for a third Camera Store episode some day! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we don't have a dedicated topic and will open up the Zoom recording to anything you'd like to discuss. If there have been any questions or topics from previous shows you'd like to revisit, or share with us your latest camera GAS pick up, we'd love to hear from you! This next one will be a free for all! We will record Episode 95 on Monday, July 7th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

As true crime watchers wait with bated breath to hear the verdict in the Karen Read Trial, I thought I'd give you all a break on that one and instead create a video in which I lay out all the evidence that seems to point to Doomsday mom, Lori Vallow Daybell, perhaps with her brother Alex Cox, unaliving her third husband (and Tylee's biological father), Joseph "Joe" Ryan.I think there's ample reason to believe Joe Ryan was unalived and may have been Lori and Alex's first victim.

We're baaaaaaack! Well, kinda. While we're not back for a proper new season of The Comments Section, we've got a few special edition yaps that we'll be dropping for your listening pleasure over the coming weeks. Not a full meal, but a tasty morsel that leaves you wanting more (we hope). In this episode, we're building on a topic we discussed at Victoria's recent book launch in Perth: is "Temu culture" destroying our relationship with money? Spoiler alert: yes. Highlights: The dangerous 'aestheticification" of our every aspect of our lives Are fast homewares just as bad as fast fashion? Are our clothes really wearing out, or are we just not mending them?

Earlier this year, The Guardian published an article on Jo Nemeth: the woman who lives without money. Instead of engaging in paid work and using that income to pay for goods, services and shelter, she contributes to an intergenerational household with unpaid labour. In this episode, we unpack the concept of living without money, including whether it's a giant leap forward to a society less hamstrung by late stage capitalism, or whether it's a sinister step backwards to a time when women lived without money under the control of their male partners. Read the full article here: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/feb/01/meet-the-woman-who-lives-without-money-i-feel-more-secure-than-when-i-was-earning See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CoHosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan have a bloody good episode for you this time!The boys dive into Ryan Coogler's ‘Sinners'—a film blending horror, history, and heart. To help them on the hunt, they've invited pop-culture-spoken-word-guru and writer-commentator Omar Holmon, horror writer, and TV production pro, Steven Van Patton. Together, the panel explores the film's depiction of Jim Crow-era America, vampiric appropriation, music as resistance, and Michael B. Jordan's layers of performance. They celebrate the film's refusal to be boxed in by genre and its commitment to authenticity, cultural nuance, and emotional storytelling.It's a complex, yet poetic look at America's mosaic roots, through a wide and bloody lens.Where To Find Them:Omar Holman: - @OmarHolman (https://www.instagram.com/omarholman) on all platforms, including TikTokSteven Van Patten:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephen.vanpatten (the only Black one, as he jokes) - Instagram: @svp_thinks - Website: http://www.laughingblackvampire.comChris Ryan: - Social: @ChrisRyanWrites - Website: https://chrisryanwrites.wordpress.com Alex Simmons: - Instagram: @AlexSimmonsSays - Newsletter: “Simmons Says”Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: TTDSOnAir@gmail.comAnd follow us on ...@Tell The Damn Story www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story Youtube.com/ Tell The Damn StoryIf you're enjoying these episodes, please take a moment to help wet our whistle by clicking on the link to ...

We're back with Episode 93 of the Camerosity Podcast! This time, we've altered our recording time to better suit those of our listeners across the pond who are normally sleeping when we record at our usual time. For this 'European time zone friendly' episode, we welcome special guest, collector, and author John Wade who has written or contributed to more than 30 books, including a couple which I have relied on for several of my camera reviews. In addition to John, we were joined by callers Brian MacDomhnaill from Ireland, Fernando Villava from Germany, Guy from Germany, Leon Blankenhorn from Germany, and domestic callers Miles Libak and Andrew Madsen. And of course we had our regular hosts, Anthony Rue, Stephen Strangways, and our time zone friendly recording time also allowed Paul Rybolt to join us who has been vacationing in Ireland for the past month. As this episode was recorded at 4am in Sydney, we gave Theo the day off. With John's expertise, we spent a lot of time talking about Britain's only 35mm SLR, the Wrayflex. As the author of the only specialized book on the Wrayflex and the company who made it, John has a fascinating level of knowledge on this attractive and quirky camera. In addition to Wray, we spent a lot of time talking about clockwork cameras, you know, those cameras that have a spring tensioned wind up film advance mechanism. We discussed a wide variety of models from the very first wind up camera, the Japy Le Pascal, Ansco No.1A Automatic Ansco, and later cameras like the Debrie Sept, Bell & Howell Foton, Canon Dial, Ansco Auto Half, GOMZ Leningrad, and others. We briefly talk about the British Leica copy, the Reid and Sigrist Reid camera and the American equivalent the Premiere Instrument Kardon, among other popular British cameras. In addition to John's contributions, Paul shares with us another 617 camera he's got his eye on, Brian tells a tale about lenses he thinks he needs and never uses, Mike shares an uncommon German camera he recently GASsed over, Guy brags about all his working Rollei A110s, the brightness of the Olympus Pen F's viewfinder, and we go around the room asking which cameras each of us have the most duplicates of. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

Doomsday mom, Lori Vallow Daybell, is currently on trial for the attempted unaliving of her niece Melani's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux, on October 2nd of 2019.It came out this week that the prosecutor in Arizona is still investigating Melani Boudreaux Pawlowski to see if charges are warranted for her potential role in this crime. I decided to take a look at Melani Pawlowski's behavior after the attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life to see if there's reason to believe she was in on the plan. I believe Melani's actions and words paint a very powerful picture of her guilt and involvement, allegedly, and in my opinion. In today's video, I track Melani through the days and months after the attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life. It makes for a fascinating look at her descent into chaos on the coattails of her Aunt Lori, Uncle Alex Cox, and Lori's fifth husband, Chad Daybell. #loridaybell #lorivallow #lorivallowdaybell #brandonboudreaux #melaniboudreaux #melanipawlowski #doomsdaymom #breakingnews #asmr#truecrimeunsolved #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

Nova Scotia is comparable in size to Vermont, Rhode Island, and Delaware in the United States. When two small children go missing in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia, all parents in Nova Scotia take notice. And when another child is approached and dragged off his bike and into a house by a strange just a month later, it definitely raises alarm bells. Yesterday, a child was taken off their bike not all that far from Lilly and Jack Sullivans' house and dragged into a home, where not-so-nice things happened.And, back in March of 2025, another child in Nova Scotia was approached as they (not sure if it was a male or female) waited for the school bus. The man tried to trick the child into his white SUV. Are these cases related?#lillyandjacksullivan #lilyandjacksullivan #novascotia #danielmartell #malehyabrooksmurray #missingsiblings #missingkids #missing #asmr #breakingnews #break #truecrimenews #canada #lansdownestation#truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

This weekend marks yet another one without Lilly and Jack Sullivan. The six-year-old and her four-year-old brother were reported missing on Friday, May 2nd, 2025.Searchers headed out to Lansdowne Station and neighboring Glengarry Station this weekend to focus on certain areas near where a small bootprint was found in the mud. In today's video, I share information about the "Pipeline Trail," which is near where the boot was discovered, as well as what a podcaster who lives in nearby Halifax had to say about the children's disappearance and their mother and stepfather's behavior and reputations.#truecrimeunsolved #missing #missingsiblings #lillyandjacksullivan #novascotia #danielmartell #malehyabrooksmurray #lansdownestation #glengarrystation #pictoucounty #canada #missingboyandgirl #lilyandjacksullivan #missing kids #lillyandjack #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

Here we go again!In today's episode, co-hosts Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan are joined by acclaimed comic book artist Eric Battle for an in-depth, wide-ranging conversation brimming with heart, honesty, and humor.From Eric's earliest memories of being transfixed by comics on the spinner rack as a six-year-old, to the pressures and passions of telling powerful, real-world stories on the page, this interview is both a roadmap for aspiring artists and a celebration of where creativity and impact intersect. You'll hear about Eric's battles (pun intended!) to find his voice in industries slow to accept comics as art, his leap from illustrating for newspapers to making his mark at DC, the emotional toll of tackling the graphic novel about Emmett Till, and how balance comes from everything from bike rides to—yes—baking epic cookies.Along the way, there are throwbacks to Eric and Alex's Tarzan/Blackjack crossover, deep dives into hidden chapters of American history, and tributes to the inspirational giants upon whose shoulders they stand. Whether you're a writer, artist, or passionate about storytelling, this episode offers hard-won wisdom, vulnerability, and plenty of laughter.So settle in for a moving, motivating, and mouthwatering conversation—we're talking cookies after all!

In Episode 92 of the Camerosity Podcast, we needed to promote every caller to "host status" to tackle the topic of the Italian camera industry. While a huge number of cameras were made in Germany, Japan, the United States and the Soviet Union, many were made in other countries like Italy, France, England, and Czechoslovakia yet far less is talked about these countries. We attempt to do some justice to cameras from this boot shaped peninsula, spreading some (very expensive) GAS for models like the Rectaflex, Ducati Sogno, and Gamma II. In an episode where everyone was a host, Mike, Theo, AJ Gentile, Miles Libak, Robert Rotoloni and Will Pinkham share our thoughts on a variety of models. Mike's best reference is an out of print book called Made in Italy: Apparecchi Fotografici Italiani by Marco Antonetto and Mario Malavolti. This 1983 book is the best reference any of us have found covering the Italian camera industry. Featuring images and short descriptions for over 150 Italian cameras, this book, plus our assessment of a few models we're familiar with, prove that the Italian camera industry is far deeper than many realize. In addition to a whole lot of Italian GAS, we go over the many different film sizes and formats used by Bencini cameras, Robert spends some time with his favorite Italian subminiature camera, the Gami 16, Mike struggles to explain how the metering system on the Durst Automatica works, he spends a great deal of time professing his love for the Ducati Sogno, and shares with us the wild operation of the very interesting Industria Scientifica Ottica Super Duplex 120, a strange stereo camera that shoots 24mm x 24mm stereo pairs on 120 format roll film. In addition to talking about Italian cameras, we get side tracked and talk about the new upcoming Yashica FX-D digital camera and Mike shares his thoughts on these "so-called" hybrid film and digital cameras and where he thinks the film industry will be in 50 years. Will Pinkham asks about new 3D printed cameras like the Superflex and the Alfie Tych. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!
