While we don't have a regular episode for you because we're on a much-earned winter break, Vania and Eric are doing a bit of a check in. Mostly we're discussing Kodak's price increases? Is it just in line with inflation or is Kodak realizing they have a monopoly? We give advice to those wondering what to do now they Kodak has out-priced them. And we also give some advice to the advice-givers (check your privilege, okay?). We also catch you up on stuff going on in our lives (like Eric has a new zine coming out in a few short days!).  This is a very scaled back, low key show with zero edits. We'll see what you think about that! PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us! Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.

Full show notes and photos here: allthroughalens.com   On this Dev Party - the first episode of the newest of years, Vania and Eric try some old and some new. There's also quite a bit of graveyard talk, which makes a bit of sense. Vania developed some old ass Ilford Delta 400. It was long ago expired and absolutely looks it. Of course, she shot them while in the water, using her Pentax 645 and waterhousing. She developed it in Rodinal because why not? Here are a few of her pics: Eric tried out the "new" Kentemere 400 in 120 (it's new in 120, but has been in 35mm forever). He shot these with his Mamiya RB67 in a cemetery on Christmas Day. His main question was "is it Ultrafine Extreme 400? And the answer is... probably? Here are some of his pics:   PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us!

She got her hands on a Widelux panoramic camera and refuses to give it back! She shot some TMax P3200 around town and let's see what they look like. Meanwhile, Eric developed the last seven sheets of expired Tri-X that he shot on his trip in July. Is 1981 too expired to work? Probably not, but let's find out!

We've got a family show for you today! It's just Eric and Vania for this one. And we want to tell you have Photography Changes Everything. Everything!  We also want to tell you about some projects we've got coming up and a camera mystery we solved.  Luis Azarraga and the Camerama Luis Azarraga, a photographer from the Philippines moved to the states in 1914. After a slew of inventions, he became known for his “Camerara” – a mystery camera that could quickly and easily shoot 160-degree panoramic photographs. Using an 18 foot tall tripod, Luis would crank the Camerama skyward, flick a switch and then lower it back down. Arizona Highways Magazine wrote in their Jun 1956 issue: “He guards his secret carefully. He allows no one to get near, much less peer into, the outsize aluminum box in which his invention is housed. It is not parented. Azarraga takes a dim view of the patent procedure.” In this episode, we dig deeper to unravel the mystery of the Camerama! A few of his photos were featured in Arizona Highways. Here they are: And here's as close to the camera as he'd allow anyone to get:     Photography Changes Everything Vania and Eric discuss the various ways photography has changed everything in their lives, including: -Delayed Gratification -To Appreciate and judge light -Seeing everything as a composition -Weather -Social anxiety (both good and bad) -To appreciate solitude -To collaborate   PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us!

For full show notes and photos, head here: allthroughalens.com   We're talking to Travis Cannady (@travis_cannady on IG), photographer and publisher of Better Off Zine. For our main feature, we'll tell you the story of the nearly-forgotten, yet wildly influential Margretha Mather (@betteroffzine). And that means we'll have to talk about Edward Weston too, so… apologizes all around. We've also a zine review and maybe even the answering machine.  Travis Cannady Along with being a film photographer and lab technician, our guest today, Travis Cannady is a zine maker. He creates and publishes his own, but he also does something pretty remarkable. He puts out a zine called Better Off. Each issue, the entire zine is dedicated to a single photographer. It's the zine equivalent of a solo-show. Or really, it's how some early photography periodicals used to do things. We've got him here, so let's talk his ear off. IG: @travis_cannady IG: @betteroffzine Web: traviscannady.com Buy Better Off Zine: betteroffzine.com Here are some of his photos: Margrethe Mather (and That Other Guy) The story of Margrethe Mather is not a simple story to tell. She was not a simple woman, nor a simple photographer. She was an anarchist in every sense of the word and held neither gods nor masters above her. Though wildly creative, she had little ambition for self-promotion, once telling Edward Weston, to leave her unremembered, to “pretend that I didn't exist.” In biographies of Edward Weston prior to the 1980s, if she is mentioned at all, Margrethe Mather is hardly more than a footnote. She was thought of as a woman, often naked, who posed for the great Edward Weston. The story of the two of them together had been consumed into his story alone. And it is our job to separate them. But that is no easy task. However, by Imogen Cunningham's reckoning, “in artistic matters Margrethe was, of course, the teacher. Edward, the pupil.” Margrethe's influence upon Weston can hardly be overstated. He followed her lead, and sometimes flat out copied her style. They were friends, companions, lovers, collaborators and ultimately estranged. Their relationship was in many ways mutually toxic. But since humans are always complicated, it was also mutually essential to their growth as artists. Here are some of Margrethe's photos:   And here are some of Weston's photos taken of and with Margrethe: The Center for Creative Photography issue we reference is available here: https://repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150/641064 You can borrow Artful Lives by Beth Gates Warren online here: https://archive.org/details/artfullivesedwar0000warr/page/n7/mode/2up We also recommend: Margrethe Mather & Edward Weston; A Passionate Collaboration also by Beth Gates Warren. There are no other books about Margrethe Mather. There are a shit ton of books about Edward Weston. Zine Review Fool Me Once, Fool You Twice by Tee Ferguson This is highly saturated, full color, 88 page perfect bound zine made up entirely of double exposures, all of which happened in-camera. She'd shoot an entire roll, re-roll it and shoot it again.

And on this little episode – our 73rd – we'll talk to Jordanna Kalman (@rabbitsparrow on IG), a photographer whose art doesn't end with either the photograph or the print. We also look for some much needed inspiration from a few little-known photographers. There's some tips on making anthology zines, as well as a zine review, the answering machine, and ohh so much more. Jordanna Kalman Our guest today produces work that is as confrontational as it is controversial. Her methods are unconventional, and the results push us to reckon with the history of photography, and how that history affects us to this day. We were honored to sit down with Jordanna Kalman. Here is a small glimpse of her work: IG: @rabbitsparrow Web: https://rabbitandsparrow.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jordannakalman Shop: https://jordannakalman.bigcartel.com/   Eliza Withington Elizabeth Withington was one of the rare women who shot landscapes, and traveled while doing so. She used her petticoat as a makeshift developing tent, and parasols for assisting in her climbing mountains and sliding into ravines alone. How a Woman Makes Landscape Photographs, 1876 The Photographs, Pistols & Parasols Podcast episode about her: https://p3photographers.net/p3p008/ Here are a few of her photos (and sadly , very few remain):   Bernd & Hilla Becher Both Hilla and Bernd were born in the 1930s in Germany, both were still children during WW2. Following the war, Bernd was a painter and Hilla took up photography, taking after her mother. In the late 1950s, both enrolled in Kunstakademie, the Art Academy in Dusseldorf. Soon after starting classes, they met. They soon discovered that they not only had overlapping interests, but complementary interests as well. What each brought to the collaboration added to that collaboration.  Almost from the beginning, they established the parameters for their work. They'd photograph industrial structures in such a way that each print would render the subjects in an almost identical fashion. Here are some of their photos:   Zine Review The Closing of a Corner Store by Amelia Bjesse-Puffin This isn't a typical photozine. It's a b&w xeroxed halfsize zine. Here, Amelia shows and writes about the last days of a neighborhood's Rite Aide. Many neighborhoods in our cities have long ago abandoned that notion of corner store. They've been replaced by chain drug stores like Rite Aide and CVS. But now, with gentrification and the rising cost of living, especially on the West Coast, even those chains are pulling up stakes and abandoning the communities they served for years.  Amelia has documented what we see happening around us. These types of zines are essential. Nobody else is or really could tell this story.  Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/729659147/the-closing-of-a-corner-store PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us!

Full shownotes and photos here: allthroughalens.com   On this episode we're taking a look at the new Leica M6 and what it means, if anything at all, to the film community and industry. Jess Hobbs (@jesshobbsphoto on IG) and Danielle Wrobleski (@girlwithtoomanycameras on IG) will help us out as we discuss this weirdly topical topic.  But before that, we'll be talking to Polaroid photographer Lisa Toboz (@lisatoboz on IG) about, ghosts, horror, and how her work isn't your typical instant snaps. We've also got the answering machine and a zine review. The New Leica M6 Doesn't Really Matter (Sort Of) Luxury camera company, Leica, recently brought back the M6, a 35mm rangefinder that they produced from 1984 through 2002. It seemed like huge news that a camera company that was mostly producing digital cameras decided to bring back a classic model. But what really caught everyone's attention was the price tag.  When it comes to film cameras,  your choices are essentially a shed or a mansion, a Yugo GV or a Lamborghini Countach,  a row boat or the yacht from the Duran Duran video. The big question right off that bat – Does it matter that Leica brought back the M6 – especially in light of them already offering two other film cameras? We talk to Jess Hobbs (IG @jesshobbsphotography) and Danielle Wrobleski (IG @girlwithtoomanycameras) all about this. Jess on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JessHobbs Danielle: https://www.girlwithtoomanycameras.com/ Lisa Toboz Within the work of Lisa Toboz, you can see glimpses of uneasiness and even horror. She's influenced by Victorian Spirit photography, which we discussed last Halloween (and the Halloween before), as well as vernacular photographs (which we've also talked about). How do all of these things come together to form Lisa's saturated and beautiful Polaroid prints? Let's find out.

For full notes and photos: allthroughalens.com   On this basically spooky episode, we'll be the podcast that hands out full size candy bars. We've got an enlivening interview with Amy Badenchini (@lilangelfilm2 on IG), about photography, lowriders and punk rock. Then we'll turn to Satan to tell you all about the 1800s craze of Diableries. We've also got a ghoulish answering machine question, as well as zine reviews and other bits of glossolalia. But first, Vania and Eric banter about a number of things, including a Halloween candy rant, a Duran Duran disappointment, and Vania's potentially stolen Rolleiflex.   Amy Badenchini Amy Badenchini's photographic world is filled with lowriders, punk rock and cats – sometimes all at the same time. Her slightly shifted color shots of car culture caught my eye years ago, and I'm stoked to finally get the chance to sit down and talk with her. IG: @lilanglefilm2 Here are a few of her photos, including the Bear & Oreo shot!       Diableries – 3D Images of Satan! This collection of images was called Les Diableries – they were photographs of intricate clay sculptures depicting numerous hellscapes, photographed by stereo cameras to render them in three dimensions.  The typical Diablerie was a diorama depicting a number of scenes filled with Satan and skeletons, demons and devils engaged in various acts. Sometimes these acts were fantastical, like the Black Sabbath or Satan's Fete Day. Others depicted Judgment Day and Orpheus leaving Hell. And still others were weirdly mundane: Return from the Racecourse … in Hell, New Year's Day … in Hell, and the Infernal Railway.. In – well you get the idea. Though all of the original 72 Diableries were different, they all showed the Devil partaking in some hellish happening. And though the styles of the individual artists showed through, the basic idea – the Devil doing stuff with skeletons – was carried throughout the series. Satan and his pals were essentially actors playing whatever roles the artists placed them in. Think of it as how the Japanese toy company Sanrio uses Hello Kitty – but here, the emphasis is on the “Hell”. We talked about a few of these Diableries, and here some are: If you're good at these types of things, you might be able to “free-eye” the 3D effect… In the piece, we mentioned how the glowing eyes were made. Here's a photo of the back of one of the Diableries. You can see the tiny pinholes where the skeleton's eyes appeared. These holes were filled with red gel.     Zine Review Vania reviewed Lost Memory by Chris D'Amore – a 96 page book that can be picked up here: https://www.chrisdamore.com/shop/lostmemory   PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us!

Full shownotes and photos here: allthroughalens.com   We have a unique show for you this time! We'll be talking to both Kate Miller-Wilson (@katemillerwilson on IG) and Taylor (@Taylarlar on IG) about their recent collaborations! Also, does being in the darkroom full time for fifty years sound good to you? We'll learn about the Kinseys and maybe your thoughts will change on that. We've also got a fun answering machine question and a couple of zine reviews.      Kate & Taylor We've talked to both Kate Miller-Wilson and Taylor on this show before. But today we got them both at the same damn time! They've been working on several collaborations together and the work has given them new insights into photography and working together as a whole.  Here are some of Kate's photos:     And here's Taylors:       Darius and Tabitha Kinsey The devotion of Tabitha Kinsey to her husband and photographer Darius Kinsey produced thousands of beautiful prints. As Darius captured the logging camps and railroads of the Pacific Northwest, Tabitha spent 50 years hunched over a basin, under a red light, developing, fixing and washing countless prints.  With Darius on the road almost constantly, she raised two kids and was compelled to employ her nieces to help around the house or in the darkroom. She handled the family's expenses, the groceries, the cleaning, the entire household. She sacrificed her life for printing and was damn good at it.  History would typically only remember and herald the photographer, who, with his huge cameras, his gigantic glass plates, and his constant travel, took over 10,000 photos. But with the Kinsey's, the work of Tabitha the printer and devoted wife has also been remembered. Here are some of their family photos:     And here are some of their serious work:   And finally, some of their ads:         Zine Review Vania reviewed Farmstands, Vol. 1 by Alicia Robinson-Welsh (@alrobinsonwelsh on IG).

We'll also tell you about a traveling photographer who might not have actually existed. And speaking of traveling photographers, Vania is on the road right now (thus the crickets!) as we speak and will tell us all about how her trip is going.

Photos and more here: www.allthroughalens.com   We've cobbled together a fine ass show for you! We'll be talking to Rick Barbosa (IG: @m0untainm0ney), wildland firefighter and photographer. We'll also connect a few of our past stories while telling you about Frances Benjamin Johnston's Hampton Album of black and Native American students in the early 1900s. And then there's Alfred Stiegletz, real life bastard who did some pretty important stuff. And we've got the answering machine, a zine review and… well. Let's see what else we've got.    Rick Barbosa For nearly 20 years, from 2000 to 2018, Rick Barbosa photographed fellow firefighters and wildfires in the American West, all while working the line. We've both been talking to him for years now and are excited to share this conversation with you today. IG: @rick_barbosa_photos IG: @m0untainm0ney Here are some of his photos:   Frances Benjamin Johnston's Hampton Album Frances Benjamin Johnston has been on our radar for awhile now, and when friend of the show, Jaya Bhatt, sent Eric a 1966 edition of her Hampton Album, it sent us on a sleuthy photographic caper with twists and turns and taught us once more that sexual and racial politics in America are incredibly nuanced and complex.  Frances Benjamin Johnston  spent a month and a half at Hampton Institute during December and January of 1899 and 1900. She was accompanied by her mother, who worked as her assistant. Across the six weeks, she exposed 150 8×10 plates and made at least three prints of each, and a set of duplicate negatives.  Here are some of the photos we mention during the episode: The Hampton Album also played with the idea of modernization, and included several “before and after” pages:   The Hampton Album was partially released by MoMA in 1966, and then finally fully released in 2019.   Alfred Fucking Stiegletz We've mentioned Alfred Stieglitz a couple times during the Iomogen Cunningham features, and we'll be mentioning him again later in the episode.  We don't have a huge desire to do a deep dive on the cantankerous fellow, but he probably deserves a bit of a backstory.

Full show notes and images: allthroughalens.com   On today's show we'll be talking to photographer Courtney Coles (@kernieflakes) about her warm and quiet photos. We'll also discuss the various photographic incarnations of Imogen Cunningham. Vania's recently taken some cinematic inspiration – there's the answering machine, zine reviews, and so much more! Courtney Coles Courtney Coles is a photographer, writer and professor, born and raised in Los Angeles. Her work centers on the idea of home, even when she's away from it. Her eye for finding the beautiful and important among the everyday and ordinary is inspiring. She has agreed to tell us all about it, so let's give Courtney a call. IG: @kernieflakes Twitter: @kernieflakes Web: courtneycoles.com   Imogen Cunningham (Part One) Imogene Cunningham photographed for nearly 75 years. Throughout her long career, she allowed herself to be influenced by the friends she made throughout the photography community. There isn't really a single thread running through her work that you could look at and think “this is what makes this photo a Cunningham,” and yet she was not without her own style and philosophy – though both changed throughout the years.  In one way, she was a sponge, soaking up all of the inspiration she could find. And in another, she was a scavenger, feasting on the work of others before her, but doing almost everything they did better. She was a photographic anarchist, holding herself to no stringent set of rules, while playing within and around tradition, rulesets, good taste and expectations. And that's where it gets interesting. Here is some of her work which we discuss in this episode:   Zine Reviews The Elements & Principles of Visual Analysis by Graham Parsons Better Off No. 4: Paulo Buencamino   PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us!

This episode is all about Kodak's recent price increases: Why'd they do it? How high will they get? And what the hell do we do now? But it's not just us who will be talking – we asked a few former guests and some friends of the show their thoughts on it. There's also the answering machine, Tiffen Sinclair, Autochromes, and zine reviews. Kodak's Price Increases Kodak recently announced that starting in January 2022, they'd be raising the prices on nearly all of their film. Well, they didn't exactly announce. They emailed the stores who buy directly from them and the news leaked out. This follows a roughly 20% increase from last year, a similar increase the year before that, and a 10% price hike for 2018. To put things in a bit of perspective, a five-pack of Portra 400 in 120 cost $29 in 2018. As of now, it's $55, so come January, that same pack will be closing in on $70. In less than four years, the price of Portra will have more than doubled. Quite a lot of film has. So we got to wondering – what do some of the friends of the show have to say about the price increases? How are they dealing with it? And how will it affect their work going forward? We talked to Brandy B, Charley Camugila, Danielle Wrobleski, Hannah Grace, Jamie Maldinado, and Kat Swansey and got their takes on all of this.

On episode 36, we talk to Liz Potter (@lizpotterphotography on IG), whose zines basically put the rest of ours to sad, sad shame. We talk a bit about the Shirley Card and what it meant to not just color film, but to people of color. There’s also a zine review and the answering machine. Plus a new segment with a new host – Tiffen Sinclair (@tiffen.sinclair on IG)!LIZ POTTERThis past week, we both received two breath-taking zines in the mail, and both from Liz Potter. We had Liz on in September, but since that time, she’s been way busier than all of us put together. Here are her two new zines:These are available on her Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LizPotterPhotographyDuring the interview, we talked about shooting square vs. shooting panoramas. Here are some comparisons:We discussed two panoramic photos in particular:And here are a few of her other photos:SHIRLEY CARDS AND KODAK’S RACIAL MISSTEPSKodak noticed early on that the skin tones of the models they were using were sometimes too blush or sometimes too pale, depending upon the lighting, the emulsion and the printing. Realizing that a standard was needed, they grabbed their favorite model, a woman by the name of Shirley Long, took a few photos of her and color matched the prints in the lab.What they produced was soon known as “The Shirley Card” – a rudimentary color print showing the brunette Shirley in a red cloak holding a blue folder. It was from this card that lab techs would calibrate their prints.Here are a few examples of Kodak’s Shirley Cards:And this is Kodak’s first multi-racial Shirley Card, used in 1995:Much of our information on this has come from the paper “Looking at Shirley, the Ultimate Norm” by Lorna Roth. We’ll have a link to the original in our shownotes.https://www.cjc-online.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/2196 UNSOLICITED ADVICE WITH TIFFEN SINCLAIRYou might know her from her Fit With Film Podcast (available @tiffen.sinclair on IG), or you might not.

While Vania developed some C-41, Eric took another crack at X-Ray film. This time he used a dark tent ("lovingly" dubbed "the tickle tent"). It's a weird tent with holes for your arms and room for four buckets of chemicals.   Here are a couple of Vania's shots: And here are a few of Eric's: And here are some behind-the-scenes shots from Eric's set up:       END CREDITS Music by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers Vania: IG, Flickr, ZinesEric: IG, Flickr, Zines, ECN-2 Kits All Through a Lens: IG, Website, Patreon, Spotify Playlists

On this episode we’ll be calling up Or Sachs (@or_sachs on IG) all the way the hell over there in Israel! We’ll also be wading through the slow murky depths of reciprocity failure - what is it, why should you care, and do we? Apart from that we’ve got the answering machine, a letter from someone who doesn't listen to our show, and a new zine! Or Sachs Or Sachs, a film photographer and a photography teacher.  We gushed about his zine, “Summer Kingdom” a few episodes ago and just had to get him on. He came back to film photography about four years ago and is doing some amazing large format work.  In this interview, we talk about the film community in Israel as well as the fascinating community of agricultural workers he's photographed. Here are a few of his photos: And this is his zine, Summer Kingdom: Buy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/858603228/summer-kingdom Reciprocity Failure Let us try to explain this phenomenon to you. During the piece, we referenced two of Eric's photos, one of which he didn't account for reciprocity failure.   New Zine! Eric's got a new zine out, and Vania takes a look at it.

On this week’s show we are laser-focused upon photobooths! Where did they come from and where have they gone? And what were they doing along the way? We’ll also be talking to Breanna Conley Saxon (@saybrebooth on IG) about … photobooths! She’s got a few and we get to talk to her about them! There’s the answering machine and zine reviews too. (We’ve even got some photobooth sound effects provided by Bre!)After a bit of chitty chattery (Vania’s been surfing, Eric’s been not), we push the button on the answering machine. This episode’s question is:Do you compose differently for color vs. black & white?After listening to you folks, we gave our answers too.Breanna Conley SaxonLET’S CALL BRE!This episode, we gave a call to Breanna Conley Saxon (@saybrebooth on IG). Unlike most of us, she collects photobooths. Her journey has taken her from one coast to the other. From a Alabama thrift store to a Russian in Pennsylvania. And another Russian in California. It’s a weird tale, so hold tight.We asked her everything we could think of about photobooths – from how she got her first one, how she learned to restore them and keep them running. Simple questions, but it’s quite a story.Here are a few of her strips:A QUICKISH HISTORY OF PHOTOBOOTHSIf you Google, “who invented the photo booth,” Google will tell you that it was Anatol Josepho in 1925. And that’s not exactly wrong. But it’s not exactly right, either. Josepho’s story is the most interesting and the most successful, but he wasn’t the first.But who can resist the tail of a poor young man fleeing Siberia and attaining the American Dream? We sure can’t, so we’re going to talk about this fellow soon enough. But first we’ll dig into the 1800s to figure out where this whole idea came from.Anatol Josepho sitting in one of his Photomaton photobooths, late 1920s.We cover the many attempts before Anatol Josepho’s breakthrough and subsequent sale of his Photomaton.Created with GIMPPHOTOBOOTH BOOKS AND RESOURCESWe recommended three books:American Photoboothby Nakki GoraninPhotobooth; A Biographyby Meags FitzgeraldPhotoboothby Babbette HinesAll three are wonderful, and there are definitely more out there.We also mentioned two websites:https://photoboothjournal.com/http://www.photobooth.net/SURREALIST GALLERYZINE REVIEWSWe also reviewed two zines this episode.Smash the Skatriachry – You can get it here or here.Caveland – by Jesse Knifley (@hauntedfilmco on IG)  Old photobooth photo recently picked up by Eric.Note the rare use of a prop.PATREON SHOUT OUTSWe’ve had so much support from our Patrons!

On this episode, Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) dig into the listener messages. They also talk about Tasma Mikrat and rebranded film. Alexia Carroll (@alexia.evangeline) picks up her phone for a talk. IG: @allthroughalens.podcast ---- For this, our seventh episode, Vania (@surfmartian) starts things off with a bunch of new film and some chocolate from New Zealand. Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) is jealous, but has some tips on Remjet. This episode’s question was “What was your biggest film photographic failure, and how did you overcome it?” The answers came in droves, and we can’t thank you enough for the support. We then talk film exchange. Eric sent Vania some 45 year old Tasma Mikrat 300 - a 6ISO Soviet microfilm which she used to photograph surfers. How do you think that turned out? You might be surprised. For our call, we rang up Alexia Carroll (@alexia.evangeline - http://www.merelyobservations.com) for a talk on the pros and cons of art school, fine art photography, and women photographing women.  Following Alexia, we talk about the bit of research we did concerning the hot button topic of rebranded film. We go through Kosmo, Silberra, JCH, and of course CatLabs. Who makes all this stuff, and is it okay? (yes, obviously it’s fine, come on). We also let slip a couple of our own project ideas: rebranded film and a zine or two.  More sorrow and woe now follows with the second batch of listener messages about failures. Since Eric spilled all of that in the previous episode, Vania spins her own tale of woe. It involves the RB67 and one hell of a lightleak. Intro/outro music was provided by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers (@lastregiment) -- http://www.lastregiment.com/ 

Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) get a bit chatty talking about a catastrophic failure and surf photography. Also roller derby with Karen Freer (@fillingthetime). Zine reviews, listeners call-ins, and maybe a short rant. IG: @allthroughalens.podcast ---- After a bit of chit-chat, Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) dig into a pretty major failure concerning Eric’s Nez Perce Trail large format project. The project took him through four states and nearly 2,000 miles. And after 80 shots, almost all of them were badly damaged. But why? How did this happen? Without pointing fingers, we talk about the project, the original plans, the disaster and finally what to do to recover. Sad Eric. With that out of our system, we turn to the answering machine and a question with a few more shades of gray than we figured. What did we lose in action and sports photography in the switch over to digital. These brave souls attempted to tackle this (sort of): @elgatomagnifico, @kollimatorn and @space_critter. We also add our two bits, with Vania and Eric giving it a shot themselves. We try to be fair and nice. We then roll on to roller derby. Eric has been a fan of women's flat track roller derby for years. A quick introduction takes us to a call with Karen Freer -- (@fillingthetime) a derby photographer from the UK who is in the middle of making the switch from digital to film. We talk derby, zines, and high speed emulsion. In the last bit of the show, Vania talks about her surf photography . Eric is clueless, but plays along. David Lee Roth is mentioned. Being a surfer helps her along the way. But she doesn’t just sit on the beach with a long lens, she’s on a board, surfing while shooting. Eric is pretty impressed. She also talks parking lots, diving, and uses words like: lineup, beach breaks, point breaks and cool surf things. Also buckets. Onto three zine reviews, including Crude Zine (@crude.zine), Urbanism -- (@jayabhat), and 4xFourtography -- (@4xfourtography). And remember, we love to trade our own zines for yours! Contact us! We leave with the question inspired by Eric’s fiasco: What was your biggest film photography failure and how did you overcome it? After a brief fluff piece on the whole 120mm vs. 120 film nonsense, we sign off till next time.Thanks for reading/listening! Intro/outro music was provided by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers (@lastregiment) -- 

For our first movie night, Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) watch Hitchcock’s Rear Window. But before getting into it, we catch up a bit with each other. Vania found herself on the other side of the camera, while Eric contemplates the end of the season as well as a parking garage. This week’s answering machine was full with calls from @kino_pravda, @kollimatorn, @hannah.grace.photo, @space_critter, and @elgatomagnifico. We asked how cinematography and the movies have affected their photography, and we were not disappointed. Were Dziga Vertov, Napoleon Dynamite and the Cartoon Network all mentioned? Of course they were. Vania shares a bit about Kubrick and Eric feels the need to defend Rashomon. We then put down the cameras and plop ourselves in front of the screen for the main feature: Rear Window. After a brief introduction, we give Hannah Drew, actor and film photographer, a call. As a trained actor (and untrained photographer) she offers a perspective we couldn’t have. The talks winds from her own influences to the pros and cons of being a voyeur. We talk about why Hitchcock made Jimmy Stewart’s character a photographer and how “Jeff” was kind of a dick to Lisa, played by Grace Kelly. We ask if it’s okay to watch others, and what we can learn about our own lives through it. Most importantly, we ask each other which of the neighbors we’re most like. Vania and Hannah answer with certainty while Eric just can’t decide. Classic Eric. Following the call, Vania reviews Eric’s Exakta VX (the same camera used in the film). There is a bit of gear talk, but worry not. We’re back to reviewing zines with Andrew D. McClees (@andrewdmcclees) Sneer and Self-Loathing being handled by Eric, while Vania takes on Film ‘n’ Hawaii by Mike Caputo (@aloha_bigmike). We leave with the question: When it comes to action and sports photography, what have we lost in the conversion to digital? Thanks for reading/listening! Intro/outro music was provided by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers (@lastregiment)

On this extra-spooky episode - 004. The Illusion That They Were Still Alive - Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) go a bit longer than usual, but we assure you it’s worth it (and still shorter than most podcasts). Things start off in a fairly normal way as we say hello and have a quick chat about Ilford’s “new” Ortho 80. Are we excited? Sure. Are we incredibly excited? Listen and find out. We then check the answering machine, which is also a normal thing.  This week’s messages are all about unexpectedly fruitful locations. We’ll hear from @elgatomagnifico @mike_on_film @ninlyone @jtheokauth and @space_critter. We also give some vague ideas about our locations. Here’s where things get a bit spooky, so hold on. For this episode, Vania dug into the Victorian tradition of post-mortem photography. Get ready for some sad and interesting photos of dead people. But digging a bit deeper, she found some deathbed photography and even some pet photography (dead, of course).  It might seem weird now, but it was pretty normal then. Basically. This led to a talk about old timey photos, which prompted us to give Jennifer Froula Weber (@jenniferfroulaweber) a call. She’s a tintype photographer who began her analog camera journey with tintypes (seriously). We talk not just tintypes, but history, the magic of 620 cameras, and how Swedish silent films have influenced her work. (Also, big shout out to Scout Finch.) But then it’s back to the 1800s (though it’s not really like we left it with Jennifer) for Eric’s piece on William Mumler, Spirit Photographer. He claimed to have accidentally captured a spirit on a glass negative while taking a selfie. And there it is, clear as day - the ghost and Mr. Mumler. This “accident” was replicated hundreds of times and made him a whole slew of money. Was he arrested for fraud? Was P.T. Barnum involved? How about Mary Todd Lincoln? Find out! We end the episode with a bit of a primer for the next episode, when we’ll have our first movie night and watch Hitchcock’s Rear Window, a film that stars the Exakta Verex VX (as well as Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly). Music was provided by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers (@lastregiment) 

We check the answering machine, receive questionable advice from a dead guy, talk about what's to come. Meanwhile, Eric is uncertain about a Hasselblad, while Vania questions whether photos of piers are the same as photos of bridges.We also call up Hannah Grace (@h.gracephoto - www.hgracephoto.com) to chat with her about solo hiking with a 4x5 Graflex... alone... in winter... in her second trimester. Music provided by Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers.@allthroughalens.podcast on IG

PORTLAND, OR - Happy new year. Here is a little taste of summer to help you through these grey rainy days. It's the 2007 Night Ride. The 2008 Night Ride also features the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, fire jugglers and a disco party rest stop just to mention a few of the activities. Just think... we'll soon be riding around at twilight with and thousands of well lit strangers and friends all dressed in pajamas and costumes. Mark your calendar for July, 7.

Here is the US Gran Prix Race Redux I promised. You can see the first one, which combines some other events here. I wanted to concentrate more on cyclocross racing in this video. Thanks again to the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers for the great sound track. If you like the our Cyclocross movies be sure to get a copy of the DVD. You will really enjoy the higher resolution video and audio.

PORTLAND, Ore. – When I started doing this bike vlog this summer I was afraid I’d run out of things to cover during the rainy season. Well, I was wrong. This weekend the Sprockettes hosted several bike events starting with a Dance Party Friday night that had bike dance teams (The Sprockettes, The B:C:Clettes, The Brakes) and live music including one of my favorite groups, Show Me the Pink. I missed Saturday’s events because I was working in Miz Kitty’s Parlour. But Reverend Phil has some videotapes from Saturday's events. Sunday the USGP of Cyclocross came through town with some of the top riders in the world. The Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, rowdy fans, and hottubbers greeted them. Later that night the Cross Crusade held their awards party which was also very entertaining and included the LRS Drummers, along with fire dancers, and acrobats from the A-Wol Dance Collective. I took me a day just to recover from this rainy weekend version of Burning Man done Pacific Northwest style. “Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart. You just got to poke around.” This is a quick montage some of the weekends bike events. I plan on doing more with the USGP race footage and the Sprocettes weekend separately.
