He shares insights into his creative process, his respect for women in his work, and anecdotes about photographing iconic figures like Henry Fonda and Sammy Davis Jr. Mark also highlights his popular photography classes at Leica, where he encourages students to develop their own artistic thumbprint.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Mark de Paolahttps://youtu.be/uH3PRc212Kohttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Mike Drury was originally on the show roughly 18 months ago, shortly after he founded Alpine Riflecraft and began building the kind of rifles he wanted to take into the mountains but couldn't find in any of the production models currently available.  Starting at just 4.5 pounds, these rifles are truly a mountain hunter's dream. They combine excellent balance and ergonomics in a package that seamlessly blends both modern and traditional features. If Jack O'Connor were to take a rifle into the mountains in 2025, he'd probably be carrying a Zenith.  Since his original appearance on BTK, he's expanded the available calibers, navigated cross border sales and shipping, and has numerous field reports from successful customers. There is no question that if you're a serious mountain hunter, these rifles should be on your radar.  NOTABLE QUOTES:  “Once you pick it up, you'll know.”  @alpineriflecraft  ---------------------------  DEALS & PARTNERS:  For over 100 years Leica has been the optics choice for the most discerning mountain hunters.

Paris Chong sits down with acclaimed photographer and director Mark de Paola to discuss his diverse career and upcoming projects. Mark, known for his fashion photography and commercial directing, reveals he is currently focusing on motion pictures, with two films, *A Stab at Heaven* (starring Ema McKie) and *Better Than Dead*, in development for release, plus a third big film. He also shares insights into his unique teaching philosophy at Leica, where he encourages students to be "brave" and find their individual artistic voice rather than simply replicating others' work.The conversation delves into Mark's personal history and influences, including his strong feminist perspective, which he attributes to his mother's involvement in the women's rights movement. He recounts a pivotal early career experience photographing Henry Fonda and Sammy Davis Jr., which teaches him a valuable lesson about intellectual property rights. Mark also discusses his upcoming photography exhibitions in Tokyo and San Francisco, highlighting his continued passion for photography alongside his ventures into filmmaking.Later in the episode, Ema joins the discussion to talk about her starring role in Mark's film, *A Stab at Heaven*. Ema shares the deeply personal and challenging story behind the film, which is based on her real-life experience with the suicide of a loved one. Both Mark and Ema emphasize the film's artistic and impactful nature, aiming to portray a universal truth about loss and grief without dictating audience emotions. The film also features Emma's daughter, Ona, whom Mark describes as a natural on set.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/mark-de-paola-from-fashion-photography-to-filmmaking-the-art-of-being-brave-with-ema-mckieChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:25) Mark de Paola(00:05:11) The New Film(00:08:48) Mark's First Assignment(00:14:25) Encyclopedia(00:17:08) Shows Coming Up(00:18:53) How often do you photograph?(00:22:27) When are the movies coming out?(00:30:33) Photgraphy Advice(00:34:07) Philosophies(00:37:18) Paris the Rockstar(00:40:19) Ema McKie(00:41:40) The Movie(00:45:41) Ona's Movie Role(00:47:32) A way to Heal(00:50:15) Private Screening(00:54:47) What was his name?(00:57:50) What's next?(01:01:11) Ona(01:03:13) Outro

Dylan is a lifelong hunter and has been with onX for 10 years. He has seen the evolution of mapping and hunting software evolve from cards that had to be plugged into a handheld GPS device to the full featured apps we all know and use on our smart phones today.   To say things have changed would be an understatement.  On this episode, Dylan covers some of the new features within the onX platform and, just as importantly, how he and the team at onX approach the introduction of new features and technologies and how that's balanced against maintaining the soul and purity of the hunt itself.   NOTABLE QUOTES:   “There's probably some trackable public data somewhere of an elk herd migration that we could put into onX, but we're not going to. That's an example of just because you can do it doesn't mean you should, and we have actively had that conversation year in and year out.”  @onxhunt  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  For over 100 years Leica has been the optics choice for the most discerning mountain hunters.

Paris and Bil discuss the unique draw of Leica cameras, with Paris noting their cult-like appeal and Bil sharing his personal obsession, including owning multiple models and trading them. Bil emphasizes his desire for a personal Leica to pass down to his children, particularly his son Dorian, who is already interested in photography and shooting film. They touch upon the resurgence of film photography and a cinematographer's process of digitally shooting and then transferring to film for a specific aesthetic, leading into Bil's current "Hollywood Cult" project, which explores underground queer culture and requires shooting in low-light conditions at odd hours, making digital capture essential for his artistic vision.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Bil Brownhttps://youtu.be/j1N0Yvgcf0Uhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

For the next four weeks, in addition to the regular Sunday episode, I'll be dropping a special episode with interviews from a recent event I attended. Leica invited me to their centenary celebrations at the end of June, they were celebrating 100 years on continuous camera manufacture and they invited a few of their closest friends to attend and celebrate with them. I was invited to interview a number of special guests and so I'm going to present to you four twenty-five minute episodes. 100 minutes for 100 years. More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Bjarki Reynisson í Reykjavík Foto segir okkur sögu Reykjavík Foto frá stofnum til dagsins í dag. Hann lýsir draumi sínum um að vera „one stop shop“ fyrir ljósmyndara og kvikmyndagerðarfólk og hvernig hann leggur áherslu á að mæta þörfum allra viðskiptavina jafnt, með góðri þjónustu, trausti og góðu orðspori. Hann deilir einnig reynslu sinni af heimsóknum til framleiðenda og þátttöku á sýningum til að halda sér up-to-date í tækni og vörum. Markmiðið með versluninni var að skapa „one stop shop“ fyrir ljósmyndara og kvikmyndagerðarfólk þar sem hægt væri að finna allt frá einfaldari myndavélum til dýrari og sérhæfðari búnaðar, eins og RED kvikmyndavéla. Hjá Reykjavík Foto eiga bæði áhugamenn og atvinnumenn að fá góða þjónustu og gott vöruúrval. Bjarki leggur áherslu á að allir viðskiptavinir séu jafn mikilvægir og að þjónustan sé persónuleg og góð, með því að mæta þörfum hvers og eins. Bjarki telur mikilvægt að bjóða upp á réttan búnað og þjónustu í samræmi við þarfir viðskiptavina, ekki að reyna að selja þeim eitthvað sem þeir þurfa ekki. Bjarki hefur unnið markvisst að því að byggja upp verslunina og vöruúrvalið og það tekur langan tíma að ná markmiðum sínum. Stærsta markmiðið að vera „one stop shop“ fyrir allt sem tengist ljósmyndun og kvikmyndun, og hann hefur safnað mikilli reynslu og sérþekkingu á vörumerkjum og tækni. Hann telur að viðskiptavinir muni alltaf mæla með versluninni ef þeir fái góða þjónustu og rétta vöru, og að gott orðspor sé besta markaðssetningin. Bjarki heldur góðu sambandi við helstu vörumerki, til dæmis Leica, sem hann heimsækir árlega í Wetzlar, Þýskalandi. Leica á áhugaverða sögu, hugmyndafræðin byggir á hefð frá stofnanda Leica en hann leyfði viðskiptavinum að gista í höll sinni þegar þeir voru að kaupa Leica-vélar sama hugmynd er við lýði í dag, en nú með stóru hóteli. Gestir geta farið í skoðunarferðir um höfuðstöðvarnar og upplifa hvernig Leica handsmíðar myndavélar enn þann dag í dag. Bjarki lýsir handsmíðinni sem „einu því magnaðasta í smíði sem hann hefur séð“ og „alveg ótrúlegt“. Bjarki fer einnig á sýningar eins og IFA í Berlín, IBC og BSC, þar sem hann kynnist nýjustu vörunum og þar er möguleiki á að skoða nýjungar í tækni, eins og nýleg LED-ljós frá Aputure. Bjarki heimsækir einnig aðra framleiðendur til að efla tengsl og fá betri innsýn í nýjustu tækni og framleiðslu.

After studying fine art and specialising in photography and sound installations, Lara carved out a career that spans the Royal Opera House, Country Life magazine and The Telegraph.A pivotal influence on her journey was discovering photographers Lee Miller and Madame Yevonde, trailblazers whose work showed her the power of storytelling, independence and visual experimentation. Lara's admiration for these women is palpable, and she credits them with helping her develop the confidence to carve her own creative path.Now a regular at events like Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic, Lara's images capture the backstage moments of motor racing, intimate portraits of drivers, engineers and vintage machinery, often taken by night using her beloved Leica M6 and Noctilux lens.In this episode, Lara discusses her creative process, her commitment to shooting with intention and why she believes photography is both therapeutic and transformative. She also shares the story behind her Leica ambassador role and her approach to teaching others.Whether you are passionate about analogue photography, drawn to historic narratives or seeking inspiration from pioneering women in the arts, this episode is sure to ignite your creative spark.TakeawaysTrust your artistic instincts – Lean into what feels creatively fulfilling, even if it's not conventional.Learn from pioneering women – Studying past trailblazers like Lee Miller can shape your own photographic voice.Be open to unexpected opportunities – A surprising commission or chance meeting can redirect your whole career.Embrace analogue techniques – Film photography offers a tactile, intentional experience that shapes your vision.Tell the whole story – Great photography captures more than the moment; it reveals the scene, the people and the purpose.Teaching others teaches you – Sharing knowledge helps clarify your own ideas and keeps your creativity fresh.Connect with LaraWebsiteInstagramLinkedInYouTubeSupport the show

Ryan Holm is the new Director of Marketing for Leica's Sport Optics division. While Ryan is new to the high-performance optics industry, he is no stranger to the hunting market. I first met Ryan when he was in a similar position with the pack company, Mystery Ranch. I still give him major credit for building that brand into the category leader.    Revitalizing an optics company in the hunting, birding and outdoor recreation industries simultaneously is tricky business, they all have their own biases, and he has to be sensitive to all of them.  Ryan and I talk about how 20 years of experience will help him to accomplish just that. It was great catching up with him, but I more excited to see what he can do with a legacy brand like Leica.  

Paris sits down with her friend, artist, and talented, Bil Brown. They kick off the conversation with a lighthearted discussion about Bil's long hair and a humorous, unexpected suggestion of a live haircut. Bil shares a funny anecdote about his last haircut being during the pandemic and a Jim Morrison quote about bad haircuts. Paris then reminisces about how she first met Bil years ago at a convention in Las Vegas, even before their more memorable meeting at Leica, a detail she didn't recall until much later. Bil then discusses his "Black and Gray" magazine, which is making a comeback, and mentions his collaboration with Matt Mercury, who will be an associate publisher.Bil delves into his diverse professional background, starting with his MFA in avant-garde poetry from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, a Buddhist college. He recounts how he became a photographer by accident after working for a modeling agency and shares fascinating stories about meeting comedian Jeff Garlin and being introduced to Robert Frank by Allen Ginsberg. He also details his involvement with the Ginsberg archive at Stanford, where he photographed Ginsberg's India journals with his Leica. The conversation then shifts to Bil's 15-year career as an agent, where his major client was Amazon Fashion, overseeing 600+ photographers, stylists, and digitechs across numerous studios. He reveals the shocking reason for the end of his relationship with Amazon: they were using his talent to train their AI, and then proposed a "collab agreement" where he would pay them to hire his talent, which he refused.Inspired by these experiences, Bil shares his new "vow of photography," mirroring his earlier "vow of poetry" to "make the world safe for photography" in the face of AI. He emphasizes the importance of content credentials in cameras like the Leica M11-P to prove authenticity. They touch upon the controversial situation surrounding Nick Ut's iconic photo and the ongoing debate about attribution. Bil also discusses his family history, including his Cherokee great-grandfather and his surprising connection to the wealthy Brown family of Louisville, Kentucky. He closes by sharing a poem from his Kerouac School days and his vision for the revived "Black and Gray" magazine, aiming to feature both renowned and emerging artists while incorporating street photography ethics into editorial work.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/bil-brown-from-avant-garde-poetry-fashion-photography-black-gray-magazine-to-art-aiChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:28) Bil Brown(00:02:21) Black & Grey(00:11:22) Amazon(00:13:14) Vow of Photography(00:16:20) Magnum(00:19:28) #1 Dad(00:21:58) 100 Years of Leica Block Party(00:24:11) Black & Grey Reissue(00:29:43) Street Photographers(00:34:20) Thoughts on AI(00:39:57) Film vs Digital(00:46:32) Outro

These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Over 100,000 megaliths covered the French region of Bretagne, to the point where it once resembled a forest of stone. It is the world's largest megalithic metropolis.And yet in central Portugal and the isles of Scotland there exists the same phenomenon. Why were these three locations chosen above all others by Neolithic architects?  And why were stones as tall as sixty feet transported as much as forty miles from their quarry?In his latest documentary https://invisibletemple.com/megalith.html bestselling author and researcher Freddy Silva takes an in-depth look at these regions — along with southern England — and finds a common thread: the selective choice of stone, identical design and construction methods, folklore, experiences of altered states, and legends of gods arriving from the sea. Add an understanding of gravity anomalies, electromagnetism, fault lines, a migration from the Black Sea region, and a language fingerprint originating in Armenia, and seemingly unconnected ideas converge to explain who masterminded this megalithic enterprise. And why.has rarely travelled anywhere since graduating in 1982 without being attached to a Nikon or a Leica. He began as an acredited concert photographer in London, and now captures his passion for temples, ancient sacred sites and the spirit inherent in the land. He is also a best-selling author and documentary filmmaker.

For the next four weeks, in addition to the regular Sunday episode, I'll be dropping a special episode with interviews from a recent event I attended. Leica invited me to their centenary celebrations at the end of June, they were celebrating 100 years on continuous camera manufacture and they invited a few of their closest friends to attend and celebrate with them. I was invited to interview a number of special guests and so I'm going to present to you four twenty-five minute episodes. 100 minutes for 100 years.

On this month's podcast Nick, James and Ruth discuss the case of the urbex photographer who locked himself in an abandoned jail cell and the pro who sets his gear, and sometimes his clients, on fire. Plus we examine the first photographs from the world's largest digital camera. We look at a the tripod that apparently can do it all, the concept camera bag solving the problem that nobody seems to have, and the first ever Leica branded 35mm film. LINKS

My guest today is Brandon Ruffin. Brandon was Leica's ambassador for the M11-D but as you'll hear throughout the conversation he is a lover of image making on just about any type of digital or film camera. He understands the importance of experience and the impact that can then have on the things you make. He also works at Google on the camera team and I am so glad that someone with a real understanding of photography is embedded there. A pairing of art and science is where the magic happens so I'll get out of the way and let you enjoy my conversation with Brandon.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Leitz Camera, or as we know it today, Leica. The Leitz Camera Co. is far older than the cameras they produce. In today's episode, Bill leads a panel of photographers, including Alex (Smith), John Roberts, and David, who all have one thing in common: their love of Leicas, from the Barnack rangefinders to the iconic M-Series of rangefinders and even the controversial SLR line of Leicaflexes! But no matter which side of the fence you land on, there is something special about Leica cameras and their lenses that makes them not only expensive but worth every penny. Also Alex (our Alex) comes in with a presentation on the Leica Freedom Train, an effort by Ernst Leitz II and Elsie Kuehn-Leitz, to move hundreds of Jewish employees and their families outside of Germany from 1935-1939 and the company's efforts to protect those enslaved under the Nazis and employed by Leitz during the war. You can read more in the Legion Magazine or the Accidental Talmudist.   CCR is ten years old this year, and to celebrate, we're hosting a Photowalk & Brewery Tour on 12 July starting at 11 am from the Great Lakes Brewpub at 11 Lower Jarvis in Toronto, Ontario.

Brunete, Juli 1937. Die Felder westlich von Madrid sind zerbombt, der Staub des Krieges liegt schwer in der Luft. Zwischen Schützengräben und Flüchtlingszügen bewegt sich eine junge Frau mit einer Leica in der Hand. Kein Gewehr, keine Uniform - aber eine Mission: die Schrecken des Krieges zeigen.Gerda Taro ist mittendrin, wo andere längst geflohen sind. Ihre Kamera wird zur Waffe des Widerstands. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Partner Robert Capa revolutioniert sie die Kriegsberichterstattung - nah, roh und schonungslos. Diese Episode erzählt vom letzten Sommer der Gerda Taro - vom Mut einer Frau, die die Frontlinie suchte, um Zeugnis abzulegen. Und von einem Krieg, der nicht nur Europa spaltete, sondern eine neue Ära des Medienkrieges begründete.

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! 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 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.

Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people's daily digital interactions.What you'll learn:• Why design should report to engineering, not product• The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story that teaches us about championing radical ideas• How to evaluate if a company truly values design before joining• The moral obligation of software makers to build great products—This entire episode is

In this high-octane episode, the Geoholics gang sits down with forensic legend turned Leica laser-scanning maestro, Ryan Rezzelle—a man who's equally comfortable at a quadruple homicide scene and in full cosplay at Comic-Con. From his roots in shrinking Erie, PA (home of the world's coldest windchill and warmest hearts), Ryan walks us through a career that spans 800+ homicide investigations, NCAA football, and selling cutting-edge 3D tech like it's hotcakes at a garage sale. Oh—and he once solved a case involving a live grenade. Casual. Career plot twist: Ryan swapped body bags for point clouds and now helps AEC pros digitize the built world, proving that real superheroes don't always wear capes—sometimes they wear high-viz and sell scanning systems. His passions? Hosting 1,000+ movie nights, running an eBay shop, and blogging as the “Reel Rhino”—because who wouldn't need Batman-level escapism after years of CSI work? Plus: we get tech tips, tales of courtroom drama, Leica learning curves, and an inspiring look at the future of digital forensics. Whether you're a geospatial geek, true crime addict, or cinephile with a Leica wish list—this episode's got something for you. Music by Everclear!!!

We examine the tension between creative expression and commercial necessity in the digital age. We explore how the pursuit of expensive camera gear and equipment can become a substitute for actual creative work, and discuss the corrupting influence of affiliate marketing and sponsorships on genuine artistic curation. The conversation moves toward the concept of "escape velocity" - finding ways to separate commercial considerations from the creative process through patronage models, financial independence, or simply refocusing on experience over acquisition.We reflect on how social media and internet culture have shifted focus from seeking meaningful experiences to collecting objects, and consider whether it's possible to maintain authentic creative practice while still earning a living from content creation. We discuss the appeal of older, non-commercial equipment and the challenge of building genuine audience relationships in an increasingly commercialized creative landscape. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.
