En este episodio de Designaholic, Jorge Diego entrevista a Antonio Zaragoza, fundador de Liberal Youth Ministry, un creativo cuya marca ha roto paradigmas en la moda contemporánea. Criado en Guadalajara y con una infancia marcada por el aislamiento, encontró en la música y la contracultura una vía de expresión que lo llevó al diseño de ropa. Su trayectoria lo ha llevado a ser parte del selecto círculo de Dover Street Market y presentar una colección en París Fashion Week. Su enfoque ha sido tan disruptivo que su colaboración con Chivas en París se volvió un fenómeno mediático en México. Zaragoza reconoce la importancia de la paciencia y la disciplina en la construcción de una marca y no teme desafiar las estructuras establecidas. Con Liberal Youth Ministry, ha demostrado que la moda es más que ropa; es un vehículo para la rebeldía, la introspección y la narrativa personal. Antonio Zaragoza es un diseñador y director creativo mexicano, fundador de Liberal Youth Ministry, una marca de streetwear y vanguardia con una profunda exploración estética. Su trabajo ha sido reconocido internacionalmente, destacando en Dover Street Market y París Fashion Week. Su enfoque creativo está influenciado por la música, el cine y la contracultura, y ha colaborado con equipos como Juventus y Chivas. Actualmente, sigue expandiendo su visión artística y explorando nuevas formas de expresión dentro y fuera del mundo de la moda.Puedes Seguir a Antonio Zaragoza en Instagram:@antoniozaragozaa @liberalyouthministryShow Notes y Links relacionados a este episodioLibro: La muerte de Iván Ilich por León Tolstói.

In yet another request from our listeners for topics you wanted to hear, for Episode 88, you can include me as someone whose been interested in hearing an episode about the Kodak Retina and other German Kodaks. For many years, whenever I needed to write something about the Retina, the person I always reached out to was Dr. David Jentz. David is not only the founder of the Historical Society for Retina Cameras, but also has published multiple written works about the Retina and its history. In addition to his knowledge about the Retina, David frequently collaborates with historian Klaus Schicht who has studied the man who created the Retina, Dr. August Nagel. Although Klaus does not appear on the show, David was able to quote some information regarding topics we discussed on this show. If one Kodak historian was not enough, we also invited Todd Gustavson from the George Eastman Museum to be on the show to fill in the blanks for any other Kodak related questions which came up. This was a closed episode, so we did not have any callers, and both Paul and Theo weren't able to make it, but what we lacked in callers, we more than made up for in fascinating Kodak, Nagel, and Retina history. Listen to Episode 87 to get a background on who Dr. August Nagel was, how he became a doctor, brief histories of his time working for Contessa Nettel, Zeiss-Ikon, and Nagel Kamerwerke prior to joining Kodak. Did you know that before Kodak AG made cameras, they made film in Germany? We discuss other German Kodaks such as the Recomar, Pupille, Kodak Duo Six-20, and the mysterious Kodak Regent. We get into the differences between the use of "Nr." and "Type" when referring to prewar and postwar cameras, and finally solve the mystery of Paul's Retinette Angenieux lens. In addition to camera history, we also take a deep dive into Kodak's introduction to making 35mm film. While Kodak's type 135 daylight loading cassette was their most notable contribution to 35mm film in the 1930s, did you know they made 35mm film for the Leica and Contax before that? David shares with us information about Kodaks original 35mm film, along with some detailed patent information about the Retina, and much more! 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 getting on a boat and heading on a "Three Hour Tour" for our second Desert Island episode. If you were stranded on a desert island with only three cameras, which three would they be? Will a high spec but fragile electronic camera make the cut, or will people choose less technically impressive models built to withstand a lot more abuse? Let us know what you'd choose! We will record Episode 88 on Monday, February 24th at 7pm Central Standard Time and 8pm Eastern Standard Time. In This Episode David's Origin Story / His First Camera was a Kodak Retina IIIS Kodak Used to Have a Camera Museum in Stuttgart David Jentz Formed with Peter Tosh the Historical Society of Retina Cameras HSRC Received Permission from Kodak and the Rights to use the Actual Retina Logo Are the Retinas Separated in the George Eastman Museum? / There Are 22,000 Items in the Eastman Museum Collection Who was Dr. August Nagel? / Nagel Started Contessa Nettel and Merged with Zeiss-Ikon in 1926 Nagel Worked for Zeiss-Ikon for About 18 Months and then Formed His Own Nagel Werke Nagels First Cameras were the Recomar, Vollenda, and Pupille Kodak Gave Nagel Very Little Direction, He Was Free to Do What He Wanted Kodak And Nagel Both Benefited from the Two Companies Working Together If You Ship a Camera and Lens Separately, There are No Tariffs Nagel was Most Famously Known as a Great Designer Kodak's Design of the New Daylight Loading 35mm Cassette Kodak Made 35mm Film for Leicas and Contaxes Before the Release of Type 135 Film Was the Retina an Immediate Success? / Why Were the Nr. 117, 118, and 119 Released So Quickly Kodak Duo Six-20 and Other Nagel Designed Cameras Mike Has Questions About Nagel's Role in Making the Kodak Regent / Kodak Regent II Kodak's Transition During World War II / Early Post War Retinas Used Steel in Their Construction Are Retinas with the f/2 Ektar Lenses Worth Paying a Premium / 47mm f/2 Kodak Ektars Were Also on the Premier Instrument Kardon Kodak's CAMEROSITY Date Codes / Many Retinas Were Sold through US PX Stores / Identifying PX Retinas David Jentz Dispels Some of the Myths Mike Got Wrong in His Reviews Dr. August Nagel Never Once Used the Word "Type" to Identify Different Cameras He Made The Mystery of Paul's Angenieux Lens / French Kodak Retinettes Links The Camerosity Podcast is now on Discord!

The end of the year is almost here, and the guys and I were getting that itch to record something, so on a dreary Boxing Day, we all got together for a spontaneous episode to catch up on what we've been doing. We did not post the join link this time, but we managed to coerce our friends Dan Cuny and Ray Nason to join us for some post-Christmas camera discussion. To help us find things to talk about, we decided to tackle a request made earlier this month in the Camerosity Facebook group, asking for more detail about Contax cameras which we were happy to do. We get into some history, some real world reviews, advice, and other Contax nonsense. Everything from the pre and post war Contax rangefinders, the East German Contax SLRs, and the Yashica/Kyocera Contax cameras were discussed. In addition to Contax discussion, Mike gives an update on what became of the Detrola 400 he "borrowed" from Roberts Camera, Dan shares his thoughts on his most recent review of the Ansco Memo and we talk about Memo cameras. Anthony shares his photographic adventures he went on traveling to New Zealand, and Paul confesses his love for adapting Contaflex 126 lenses!

We will welcome in the new year with Episode 84 in which we will be inviting Jeff and Gabe from I Dream of Cameras. There is a high chance we will spend some time on Alpa SLRs, but there's no telling where the discussion will go with what will effectively two podcasts recording at the same time! If you've ever wondered what it is like to have "too many cooks in the kitchen", this is the episode for you!

At the end of Episode 80, we promised an entire show dedicated to Zeiss-Ikon. Unfortunately, things got in the way of us being able to dedicate the necessary time to prepare to cover such a complex and important company, so we decided to pivot and do another GAS episode. Anthony and Theo were only able to make brief appearances, but joining Paul and Mike on this show was a well rounded cast of callers including AJ Gentile, Antony Hands, Fernando from Germany, Rafael E, Wannes Scheipers, Will Pinkham, and first time callers, Andrew Curley, Charles Lawson, and Jem! A large number of Zeiss-Ikon cameras were discussed including the Contax rangefinders, Contarex, folding Nettars, Contina, Contaflex, and the square format Tenax and Taxonas. AJ shares his thoughts on his recent pickups of a Aires 35-V and Rolleiflex SL35, Wannes picks up an interesting book about the Kodak Vest Pocket, and Charles shares a story of how he gets his Kiev cameras repaired by a Ukrainian war hero. Mike talks about a very rare camera he was able to "borrow" from Used Photo Pro in Indianapolis, along with some recommendations on the most innovative and best user American rangefinders and medium format cameras, and a very well done book about the career of Heinz Waaske. We also cover a very strange 1980s Fisher-Price video camera that records video onto standard audio cassettes, the I'm Back Digital Camera back, why auto focus lens adapters all suck, and Antony shares his love for the JollyLook foldable instant camera and pinhole camera. This was a wide ranging episode with a huge number of different cameras and topics covered, so rather than continue to promote it here, I recommend you hit the play button below, or on whatever your favorite podcast player is and enjoy!

For Episode 82 we are going back to digital....waaay back and going to attempt to cover some early digital cameras. While everyone knows that digicams are seeing a resurgence of interest, what were some of the earlier models that are worth checking out! Are there any undiscovered gems out there? Even I don't know the answer to that one! We will record Episode 82 on Monday, November 25th at 7pm Central Standard Time and 8pm Eastern Standard Time.

One of the benefits to having four hosts is that if something comes up and someone can't be on a recording, the show can go on. For Episode 78, we were short Anthony, so what did the guys decide to talk about while he wasn't there? One of Anthony's favorite cameras of course! The Zeiss-Ikon Super Ikonta 532/16 is a medium format folding camera that shoots 6cm x 6cm images and is one of the very few medium format folding cameras with both a rangefinder and fast f/2.8 lens. In addition to it being one of Anthony's favorite cameras, it is also a favorite of professional photographer Johnny Martyr who, along with a stable of vintage Leicas, shoots his Super Ikonta professionally, offering medium format prints to his clientele. On this episode, Johnny shares with us his motivation on why he incorporated medium format into his business and why he chose this specific camera. Episode 78 was light on guests as Paul, Theo, and Mike were also joined by returning callers AJ Gentile and Miles Libak, but we made up for it with a nice discussion of GAS! The conversation eventually moved from 6x6 folders to 4.5x6 folders and Mike gave his recommendation on one of the best Japanese 4.5x6 folding rangefinder cameras, the Konica Pearl IV. In addition, Mike also recommended an unlikely 6x9 folding camera as a value champion that still punches above its weight with a great lens. Paul shares some recent cameras he's dug out of his crypt and Theo talks about his recent adventures with a Nikon S2 and Olympus Pen FT and how he accidentally redscaled some film without knowing it. We briefly discuss the merits of prism based viewfinders and what would happen if you purposely loaded black and white film backwards.

If you're interested in Bronica, Mamiya, Kowa, Norita, Praktisix, (but hot Hasselblad) SLRs, this is the episode for you! We will record on Monday, October 14th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time. In This Episode Only Three Hosts / AJ Working on His New Blog / Paul is Still Doing Long Trips for Cameras Johnny Martyr is Exploring Medium Format / Voigtländer Perkeo Inspired Him Welta Weltur / Zeiss Super Ikonta B and Fast f/2.8 Lenses Paul's Loves the Plaubel Makina 6x7 Viewfinders Made with Prisms vs Beamsplitters / Kodak Medalist has a bright viewfinder Mike Randomly Sends Cameras to Johnny / Miles Had an Ensign Selfix 820 Special Super Ikonta 6x4.5 / Strap Lugs / Paper Thickness Can Cause Transport Issues in Some Cameras Welta Weltini is Too Complex / Semi Leotax Konica Pearl II, III, or IV Are All Great 4.5x6 Cameras The Voigtlander Bessa 66 is Nice / Gallus Delux is a French Foth Derby / Voigtländer Perkeo 127 Kodak Tourist / Voigtländer Bessa III 667 / Fujifilm GF670 Professional / Balda Super Baldax Theo has been shooting the Nikon S2 and the Olympus Pen FT Highlight is the Robot II which accidentally used to red scale film Does anyone know what happens in putting B&W film backwards?

Bringing It All Back Home returns with a follow up episode on what camera you should consider for the killer Zeiss c/y glass system. Today's podcast is all about the 1975 Contax RTS, the original classic, the first camera introduced by Zeiss, Yashica, and the Porsche design group. Included: its amazing metering, the LED display push button, competing with Leica's R system, the benefit of not having everything motorized, as well as the perfect balance between feel & function.
Ceci n'est pas un flim ..Parfois dans la vie rien ne se passe comme on le prévoit. Par exemple le Contax 17 sort ; on enregistre trois jours après avec un super invité et.. et... et la vie s'en mêle ; on ne sort cet épisode que trois mois après parce que l'invité et le caster courent partout ! Mais ce qui est chouette, c'est que trois mois après... c'est la rentrée !Bienvenue dans cet EP38, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Baptiste "EMGK" pour plus de 2h30 de discussion. On parle d'argentique, de photographie de mariage, de youtube aussi.Baptiste prend le temps de revenir sur son parcours, les débuts de la box argentique ...Et si vous souhaitez savoir ce que mon invité m'a répondu quand je lui ai demandé quel futur il imaginait pour l'argentique ? Bah va falloir écouter ce photographe passionnantTrès content d'avoir pu enregistrer avec Baptiste dont je suis le travail comme bon nombre. Un épisode important dans ce dernier segment du podcast, puis qu'il ne reste que deux épisodes avant de baisser le rideau et de fermer boutique. Merci à mon invité pour sa gentillesse, et d'aborder sans filtres les affres de youtube, au moment ou sort un appareil qui se veut le renouveau pour beaucoup, d'une pratique que l'on pensait morte ...G.BAPTISTE "EMGK" | Instagram - Youtube - Box ArgentiqueSuivez l'actualité du podcast en cliquant ici !

Hello & welcome back to Season Five of Bringing It All Back Home. Today's episode is all about three SLR lenses that changed everything for me. From the incredibly affordable NIkkor-H Auto 1:2 50mm to the hidden gem that is the c/y Zaiss Planar 1,7/50 to the Walter Mandler brilliance that is the Summicron-R 50mm f/2. Also: why the Leicaflex SL is the ultimate alternative to going M-mount.

Contax Haters Club.."J'ai pas le temps !!" ... C'est une phrase que vous entendrez régulièrement tout au long de cet épisode. Sans doute une obscure référence au générique français d'une série se déroulant en prison, ou est-ce tout simplement que mon invité déborde de travail.Pour autant, HOSTOPHOTO m'a accordé une longue entrevue afin de pouvoir discuter en toute tranquillité et avec beaucoup de bonne humeur. Le temps pour nous d'échanger autour de son parcours, sa passion de la photographie et son amour de la mécanique de précision. Comment est-il passé de la photographie argentique à la réparation d'appareils photo argentique.Un épisode d'un peu plus de 2h35m où l'on fait bien attention de ne perdre aucune petite pièce ou ressort qui nous sera forcément utile pour remonter le matériel, tout en discutant photographie, pratique et pourquoi les Contax sont la plèbe de la photographie...ERRATUM ... Malheureusement la charge de travail qui est la mienne actuellement ne m'a pas permise de lancer comme je le souhaitais la chaîne youtube qui prendra au fur et à mesure le relais jusqu'à la fin du podcast, qui arrivera dans quelques mois.

Andy is excited to be speaking with Greg Finck on this episode of The Wedding Biz. Greg is a brilliant photographer based in Paris. He studied business in France then came to the U.S to get his MBA. Greg was a marketing executive for ten years with Proctor and Gamble and at first, was doing wedding photography on the side as a hobby. Greg is now a major photographer even though he's technically only been doing it full-time for five years. Besides shooting significant weddings, he is doing fantastic work in the fashion world and has mastered marketing digitally in social media. He also gives master classes on photography and speaks at Engage. “Elegance is the only beauty that never fades,” a quote on his website from Audrey Hepburn summarizes the approach that Greg has to photography. Black and white photos are what he started out doing, giving him the ability to really focus on what he wanted to shoot in order to hone his eye. Greg talks to us about many things; his life in marketing, the catalyst for moving into photography professionally, and how glad he was that he took that leap of faith. He speaks about the niche he found with destination wedding photography, mostly taking place in Paris and other parts of Europe, doing fashion photography during the slow wedding season, and why he uses medium format film. Listen in as Greg shares with us his secrets to rapid success, how to manage your client's expectations and the tools to choose the right photographer. He discusses his tricks for calming the nerves of a bride and tells us what equipment he uses to get such fantastic shots. The knowledge Greg has acquired in his relatively short time as a full-time professional photographer is immense. His business acumen is on point, and his humility is second to none. If you want to learn how to build your business in any industry, this is a conversation you shouldn't miss. Have you heard about Stop and Smell the Roses with Preston Bailey on The Wedding Biz Network? Listen as Preston shares the secrets, tools, and technologies behind his extraordinary ability to create a theatrical environment out of any space. Also, don't forget about Sean Low's podcast The Business of Being Creative, where Sean discusses the power of being niched, pricing strategies, metrics of success, and so much more. You can find both shows on The Wedding Biz Network. SUPPORTING THE WEDDING BIZ Become a patron and support Andy and the show! If you are so inspired, contribute!

Noel Mercado is an artist. Noel repurposes found objects giving it new life, more life. In order to have and to hold for many more generations to come. I first met Noel back in Philly with friend Zak Parsons from Four Finger Press and Kyle of Smalldosesdaily and vibed on streetwear, photography, and music. Then we caught up in Brooklyn. Always a good time when we ran into each other at a club and was talking about Contax pics. Fastforward years later, I spent the day in two of my not so secret favorite neighborhoods, the West Village and SoHo pretending that I'm someone I'm not but I ain't shit and I turned to my left and I see my favorite furniture company, USM Modular Furniture collaborated with a name I definitely know. I had to tell someone immediately and friend Ryan Gendron was right behind me and I broke the news. Went inside, made a TikTok and bought Noel's whole collection straight cash. Now my house is looking like a mansion, I told you I got it like that. No I don't got it like that but I do love that me and Noel also bond on USM and Contax Cameras. If you got that, the rest will follow.

Season 3 Episode 19 - Analog Combo: CONTAX Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F/1.7 Lens w/ the CONTAX ST Another analog combo - this time featuring the legendary glass that is c/y mount Carl Zeiss. Luckily today's episode is not only about lens performance that will blow your mind - but it comes at a quite reasonable price. Yes, today will be all about the often maligned AEJ version of the Zeiss lineup, as well as their somewhat neglected SLRs from the 80s & 90s. Will this under $200 50mm Planar live up to the c/y lenses of renown? Are there any original 1975 era RTS cameras that still fully function? Is the viewfinder on the CONTAX ST a joy to behold? Tune in, turn on - grab a cup of tea - and listen in.

In a first for the Camerosity Podcast, we finally dive into the wonderful world of Graflex press cameras and other 4x5 cameras. If you thought Camerosity only meant 35mm, medium format roll film, and subminis, this is the episode that will shake up everything you know about us! For episode 43, we had a packed house (although there was one significant omission). Joining the gang on this show was first time caller, and owner of Graflex Parts, Graham Burnett, along with Andy Pham, Daniel Belmes, Eric J, Greg McCreash, Howard Sandler, Jess Hobbs, Marcy Merrill, Mario Piper and his wife Julianne Piper, Mark Faulkner, Nick Marshall, Patrick Casey, and Robert Rotoloni. Together, topics ranging far and wide from the history of Folmer & Schwing, the company who made the first Graphic cameras, to differences between all the models, where to start if you've never shot a Graflex before, development tips, and all sorts of information that people who love these cameras want you to know. In addition to discussions about Graflex press cameras, we also get into a few other 4x5 cameras like the Busch Pressman and Burke & James versions. Greg McCreash is back to talk about his massive Combat Graflex, and we even touch upon some of the 35mm Graflex cameras. If you've ever wanted to know something about these wonderful cameras, this is the episode you'll want to hear! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras. 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 new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, 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, 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. The guys and I have had a great time talking about Graflex, Argus, Contax, and Pentax, and for our next episode, we are going to divert a bit from our regular format and just discuss what we've been working on lately and some topics we'd like to share with you all, so there won't be any option to dial in for the next episode. Maybe we'll still have a special guest for you, maybe not! You'll just need to stay tuned for that one. We will resume our normal call in for episode 45 though, which we will record on Monday, March 20th. We don't yet know what we'll talk about then, but be sure to stay tuned for the official announcement!

You know what they say, 'An apple a day, keeps the doctor away...' so for those of you with broken Contaxes, you better get rid of all your apples as the doctor is here! Okay, so maybe he hasn't quite gotten his PhD yet, but in this, the 41st episode of the Camerosity Podcast, we are happy to introduce you to Brandon Monroe, an aviation mechanics student who just so happens to really love the Zeiss-Ikon Contax rangefinders so much that he wanted to learn how to repair them himself. Brandon reached out to other well known technicians who repair Contaxes like Henry Scherer and Mark Hansen and learned what he could from them. For everything else, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work. Tearing down several broken Contax rangefinders, and at least one that had been previously CLAd to see what was done, Brandon has recently become successful at full CLAs of both pre and postwar Contax IIs and IIIs. Brandon has repaired several cameras for Paul and a few others, and according to Paul, the cameras are like new. Listen in as Brandon tells his story of how he got started and why he fell in love with Contax rangefinders. He discusses differences between the pre and postwar shutters, what the shutters are made of, how the rangefinders work and how they're adjusted, who makes our favorite Contax lens adapters, using Contax lenses on Nikon rangefinders, plus a huge number of other things. Mike can't help himself and goes into the history of the camera somewhat, explaining how the Contax I came to be, and what differences are between it and the later cameras. Joining us on this episode are returning guests Aidan Dean, Alex Dietrich, and first time callers Steve Wilcox and from all the way in Belgium, Eric Kaas Sluis, a self professed Contax addict who has one of the largest collections of working Contaxes and lenses in the world. In addition to repair of the Contax, we talk about what makes them special, who made the original Zeiss-Ikon Contax in 1926 (Hint: His name rhymes with 'Bagel'), postwar Jena Contaxes, and why you should consider a Kiev if you cannot afford a Contax. Amazingly, the guys somehow manage to stay on topic for most of the show, but a small amount of time is spent on a few other cameras that we just can't stop talking about. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you. We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras. 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 usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. If you want to join us for our next episode, we will record Episode 42 on Monday, February 6th and we will talk American cameras like Argus, Clarus, Perfex, and many other brands you may or may not have heard of!

No Brasil, o setor de energia, no qual predominam fontes renováveis, responde por cerca de 35% das emissões de gases do efeito estufa - metade do percentual observado em nível global. Nem por isso o país e as empresas que aqui atuam estão isentas das pressões internas e externas em favor da transição energética, venham elas do mercado de capitais, de organizações multilaterais ou de ONGs. A transição energética é parte importante do zeitgeist expresso na sigla ESG. Para um país que precisa acelerar o crescimento da sua renda per capita - baixo nos últimos quarenta anos -, é preciso fazer da transição energética uma oportunidade para aumentar a oferta de energia no ritmo e com custos compatíveis com a ambição de fazer do Brasil um país desenvolvido. Ou seja, há de se trabalhar por uma renda per capita de pelo menos o dobro da atual e drástica redução da pobreza e da desigualdade. Para exemplificar, Portugal, com uma renda per capita de aproximadamente US$ 20 mil, consome, por habitante, uma quantidade de energia 65% maior do que o dado observado no Brasil. Este debate colocou em discussão os desafios para conciliar os objetivos de acelerar o crescimento da economia, o aumento da oferta de energia, a transição energética e a redução da pobreza e da desigualdade. O que esse desafio exige dos governos? O que requer das empresas? Como as afeta? Estas foram algumas das perguntas respondidas neste webinar com dois painéis.

We're back with another fascinating installment of the world's most popular open source film photography podcast! For Episode 29, we dig into the vault and bring back a guest from the very first Cocaine and Waffles episode, mister "Sexy" himself, Cheyenne Morrison! As always, Cheyenne doesn't hold back with his unique blend of colorful commentary on recent pickups like his Nicca III-L, Texer SR, and AGFA Isoly IIIa. Joining him are returning guests Mark Faulkner, James Allen, and Jess Ibarra and new guest Andrew Smith who discuss with us a number of interesting cameras. We go deep into the world of early auto focus SLRs, cameras with bottom "trigger" film advances, and shooting very expired film. As always, many of the topics discussed on the Camerosity Podcast are not planned, and this time we go pretty deep into the world of repairing cameras, and how dire things have become with the number of skilled technicians who are either retiring or dying, leaving no one else to take their place. Cheyenne makes a very plausible, yet very sad prediction that in 10 years, there will be no one left alive who can CLA a Contax rangefinder. Yes, we have new talent like Jess Ibarra to share her thoughts on learning camera repair, but there's only so many cameras one person can master, so if you have a camera you'd like to one day get repaired, NOW is the time! Be sure to mark your calendars for our next episode in which we will talk to a number of current and former camera store employees, who will share their stories of what it's like working in a film camera store now and in the past. Good camera stores are like camera techs, they are getting harder and harder to find, so it should be an interesting episode hearing these stories. If you'd like to join and ask some questions, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 30, which will be recorded on Monday, July 11th!

Apple Podcasts -- Spotify Podcasts -- Stitcher Podbean Podcasts -- Podbay FM -- Tune In 5 Useful Accessories for DIY Photo Projects In a recent Medium.com article, I wrote about the handiness of my photo accessory drawer. Some folks might call it a junk drawer, but nothing could be further from the truth. I have a number of items in there that have become essential components when I trying to come up with a DIY solution. Here are some of my favorites that I've reached for many times. Step-Up and Step-Down Rings - This is one of the items I reach for regularly. Not only do they help me adapt off-sized filters to lenses, they can connect just about anything that has threads. Lens Mount Adapters Over the years I've collected a set of affordable adapters that will mount practically any vintage lens to my MFT cameras, including Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Contax, and Minolta. Cold Shoe Adapters There are tons of accessories that can be mounted in a cold shoe, from bubble levels, to microphone, to LED lights, and of course, flashes themselves. And the list goes on from there. Old Filters - Way back when, I did a show discussing how I never throw a filter away, because some day it will have use. That includes practically every type in every diameter. Translucent Plastic Film Canisters - I've used these for everything from LED light diffusers to small parts containers. They're also handy for carrying around a set of coins that can serve as both super compact slotted screw drivers and emergency change, with room left over for tripod thread adapters and bolts. I have other things as well, such as a variety of brackets, gaffers tape, and oddball lenses. What are your favorite items in the photo accessory drawer? Stop by our Facebook page and share them. How to Adapt a 20-Year-Old Lens to an X100 (and save $300) As much as I love the 35mm lens on my Fujifilm X100V, sometimes I need a bit more elbow room. I looked at the WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion Lens, wanted it, but was reluctant to spend the $350 it costs. So I came up with another angle. I found a Canon Wide Converter WC-DC58 0.8X lens in my photo accessory drawer, and decided to try it on the X100V. I mean, why not! I already had the filter adapter for the X100V that used 49mm threads. The WC-DC58 had 58mm threads on its backside. I kept digging, found a couple step-up rings that I could cobble together, and made the connection. Peering through the electronic viewfinder, the world looked pretty good... and wider too. This had potential. I went to the menu on the Fujifilm and found the Conversion Lens option and set it to wide. This does two things. First, it correctly adjust the metadata to read at the wider focal length, and it removes the frame lines in the optical viewfinder presenting you with a more accurate view of the world. Very cool. After a bit of testing and reviewing the images at 100 percent on the laptop, I can confidently say that the lovely Canon Wide Converter works beautifully on the X100V. Sharpness was good at f/2.8 and great beyond f/5.6. Colors were deliciously Fuji, and it looks cool on the camera as well. Photos for macOS Big Sur and iPhone Essential Training This course was just released on LinkedIn Learning and lynda.com. It shows you how to leverage both the latest iPhone technology with Photos software, on both your Mac and mobile devices. "With the free Photos for macOS software from Apple, you can manage, enhance, and share photos in a variety of ways. In this course, photographer, author, and educator Derrick Story takes you on a detailed exploration of Photos for macOS. Derrick starts with a quick-start introduction to taking pictures on your phone, then editing them with Photos and sharing them. He walks you through how to use the options available to you when you're recording video. Derrick also covers several advanced iPhone camera techniques, such as switching among cameras, controlling the flash, working with ProRAW, and more. He covers each step of the process to edit pictures in Photos for macOS, then does the same for editing videos. Derrick offers some useful tips to enhance your experience using Photos, then concludes with resources to help you learn more." You can check out both the free movies and the entire course here. Did You Know You Can Archive Your Digital Photos on Analog Film? You can read the entire article on FStoppers. Bit rot, or the slow deterioration in the performance and integrity of data stored on various forms of digital storage media, is a real concern for photographers. Over time, digital photos degrade and some even become totally defective. The best insurance against this problem may actually be analog film. Digital photography offers a lot of advantages over the analog process. Namely, it's a lot cheaper and it allows a greater degree of freedom when shooting. Images are also more easily manipulated and with greater sophistication. But digital photography also has its disadvantages, too. One big one is bit rot. I have been shooting digital for about 15 years and, already, I have degraded or defective images. Now, this is certainly by no means a huge percentage of my files but imagine if one of those images was one of my "greatest shots." In some cases, the degradation is only slight, but it is still perceptible. I have some files that are totally gone, that is they won't open at all. Bit rot is not the only thing I have struggled with in the digital realm, though. I have also just plain lost images. This has happened when I have switched recording formats, computers, etc. Some photos I only had stored in clouds and then lost when I closed accounts (Facebook, for example). The point is many digital photographs I have made in my lifetime are simply gone in one way or another, from one thing or another. Others are degraded or defective. Yet, I have every single image I have ever shot on 35mm film. My negatives have followed me halfway around the world on every move and are still as good as the day they were developed. Now, to be clear, I am not saying that negatives cannot be damaged or lost, they can. I'm simply saying, in my experience, I have all of my analog images and I do not have all of my digital ones. So it goes. Your experience may be different. Virtual Camera Club News Inner Circle Members: A big thanks to those who support our podcast and our efforts! (And welcome to our new members.)

Andy is excited to be speaking with Greg Finck on this episode of The Wedding Biz. Greg is a brilliant photographer based in Paris. He studied business in France then came to the U.S to get his MBA. Greg was a marketing executive for ten years with Proctor and Gamble and at first, was doing wedding photography on the side as a hobby. Greg is now a major photographer even though he's technically only been doing it full-time for five years. Besides shooting significant weddings, he is doing fantastic work in the fashion world and has mastered marketing digitally in social media. He also gives master classes on photography and speaks at Engage. "Elegance is the only beauty that never fades," a quote on his website from Audrey Hepburn summarizes the approach that Greg has to photography. Black and white photos are what he started out doing, giving him the ability to really focus on what he wanted to shoot in order to hone his eye. Greg talks to us about many things; his life in marketing, the catalyst for moving into photography professionally, and how glad he was that he took that leap of faith. He speaks about the niche he found with destination wedding photography, mostly taking place in Paris and other parts of Europe, doing fashion photography during the slow wedding season, and why he uses medium format film. Listen in as Greg shares with us his secrets to rapid success, how to manage your client's expectations and the tools to choose the right photographer. He discusses his tricks for calming the nerves of a bride and tells us what equipment he uses to get such fantastic shots. The knowledge Greg has acquired in his relatively short time as a full-time professional photographer is immense. His business acumen is on point, and his humility is second to none. If you want to learn how to build your business in any industry, this is a conversation you shouldn’t miss. Show Highlights: [02:57] Andy welcomes Greg to the show! [03:18] Greg says that timeless elegance is what he wants to bring to his photography. [04:43] Greg's childhood was spent in darkrooms developing film with his dad. [05:23] He shot mostly black and white, back at the beginning, which helped him hone h his eye for capturing images. [06:06] He feels like he has always been a portrait photographer. [07:18] When he was in college, getting his MBA, photography was just a hobby. His parents encouraged him to take the safe path. [08:20] He went to work with Proctor and Gamble, but was very grateful for what he learned. [08:53] Greg says the most significant thing he learned from working for such a large company is how to be humble. [10:14] Humility and hard work are fundamental values in this saturated market. [11:44] He discusses why he left a safe job at Proctor and Gamble to pursue his love of photography. [13:55] He went to a workshop held by Feather and Stone out of California, and it changed his perspective on being a professional photographer. [16:20] Were you financially prepared when you quit your job or did you take a leap of faith? [18:29] Why bring a photographer from the states to shoot your wedding in France when I am already here was Greg's marketing approach. [20:32] Greg speaks about branding and shooting with film, which set him apart in Europe because not a lot of people were doing it. [22:20] Listen as Greg tells us what it means to have a European touch. [24:01] They discuss medium format film, which is the highest possible quality film you can find at this time. [24:56] Greg speaks about the use of hashtags to get noticed with social media. [26:34] What percentage of your business is related to fashion and editorials? [28:09] The total expectations from clients are much higher today than in times past. [29:21] Greg gives us his process when working with a client. [30:51] Being direct with your clients is the key to managing expectations. [31:44] Exuding confidence is how he helps dissipate a bride's nerves and anxiety. [33:46] Greg chats about giving a master class and telling his students that they need to get out of their comfort zone. [36:00] What are the qualities of a great photographer? [37:07] Greg’s presentation topic at the next Engage Luxury Wedding Summit. [39:09] If you want to learn directly from Greg, he gives workshops once a year in the spring. [39:53] You can buy prints or gift cards on his website. [40:23] His favorite equipment right now is a Contax 645 with an 80 mil lense. [41:27] Thank you, Greg, for being on our show, it has been a real pleasure. [42:01] Please tell your friends about our podcast and leave reviews if you like what you hear.

We went on a bit this week, or rather Simon and Perry did. Johnny went a way for a while to do some household chores, but sneaked back later hoping he had not been missed. He hadn't, because Simon was salivating over his friend's Contax and Zeiss collection that had been laid before him. So, a camera heavy episode, but with plenty of lots of Planar, Sonnar, and yes, Tessar talk to to keep you happy. ________ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Pobean | iTunes | Stitcher ________ EPISODE 76 LINKS & REFERENCES Contax RTS, RTS II and RTS III Series SLR cameras Contax AX Contax Aria Review by Cheyenne Morrison at casualphotophile.com Baby Rolleiflex Horizon 202 Designed by Porsche: The Samsung ECX1Rube Goldberg All About That Bass ________ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate on Ko-fi ________ CONTACT Send ideas & questions for the podcast EMAIL LIST Sign-up to receive an email when each podcast goes live INSTAGRAM BestVintageLens | #classiclenses | #bestvintagelens ________ FOLLOW THE HOSTS Simon Forster Website | Ebay | Flickr | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LFPP Perry GeWebsite | Flickr | Instagram Johnny Sisson Instagram | Central Camera Company ________ BE LIKE KARL Karl Havens Flickr | Instagram ________ PODCAST THEME Octoblues Royalty Free Music by Kevin Macleod ________ #CLP76 #ContaxYashica

Contax Netball Club are going for an amazing three premierships in a row this year in the seniors and reserves of the Netball SA Premier League. Bevo had the joy of Chewing the Fat with three of their stars Charlee Hodges, Georgia Beaton and Gia Abernethy who have all played for the Adelaide Thunderbirds. We talked about their journeys so far, interests outside of netball, what makes Contax such a strong club and the play hard/party hard philosophy at the club. Thanks to the girls for their time and Darren Peters and Leanne Eichler with some great information about the girls. Thanks also to Ellis Gelios for filming and editing the video and to our sponsors Anytime Fitness and 90 Mile Wines: Wharf Barrel Shed. This episode was filmed under the name of Chewing the Fat, rebranded to Legends with Bevo in late 2019.
Leo's musings (the longest ones so far!) about his first proper pinhole camera, return to 35mm film after 8 'gap' years and some other stuff. And a rant about having to reseal old cameras.
