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

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

Zoom doble dorado — Huawei Pura 80 Ultra

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra sorprende con cámara dual periscópica, zoom óptico conmutable y diseño premium resistente   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  El Huawei Pura 80 Ultra acaba de iniciar su gira global desde Dubái y busca volver a los bolsillos de fotógrafos aficionados y profesionales. Su secreto está en un módulo periscópico con dos lentes y un prisma que se desplaza con motor microscópico para alternar entre retratos a 3,7 aumentos y tomas lejanas a 10 aumentos sin perder nitidez. El sensor de cincuenta megapíxeles y 1,28 pulgadas recoge más luz que muchas cámaras compactas, y el procesado XMAGE afina color y contraste. Además, la pantalla OLED de 6,8 pulgadas alcanza 3 000 nits y la batería admite carga rápida de 100 vatios. El reto: convencer a usuarios que dependen de Google para que prueben un móvil sin esos servicios.  Falta Google, pero el zoom físico cautiva a curiosos globales  El diseño del Pura 80 Ultra despierta opiniones encontradas desde la primera mirada. El círculo dorado que rodea las cámaras parece la carátula de un reloj suizo y muestra la precisión mecánica que Huawei va a poner en cada foto. Dentro del módulo vive un motor tan pequeño como un grano de arena que mueve un prisma y decide qué lente iluminar el sensor. A 3,7 aumentos los rostros lucen fondos suavemente comprimidos, como en el cine. Con 10 aumentos el teléfono se vuelve un mini telescopio capaz de leer letreros lejanos. Todo ocurre sin recortes digitales ni trucos de software. La experiencia se siente tangible, incluso se oye un leve clic al cambiar de foco.  Pero todo avance trae preguntas. El Pura 80 Ultra llega sin compatibilidad directa con Google Maps, YouTube ni Gmail debido al veto comercial de Estados Unidos. Para muchas personas esas apps son tan comunes como el desayuno, y AppGallery aún no ofrece sustitutos idénticos. Además, la versión internacional renuncia al 5 G y a la conexión satelital que sí tiene el modelo chino; en zonas rurales la señal puede flaquear justo cuando quieras compartir tus fotos. El precio también asusta: parte de 1 400 dólares, unos 1 280 euros. Por último, aunque el procesador Kirin 9020 rinde bien cada día, los juegos más exigentes corren con más fotogramas en chips rivales de tres nanómetros.  Frente a esas barreras, Huawei confía en dos cartas clave. La primera es la experiencia diaria: EMUI 15 fluye sin tropiezos y la batería de 5 170 mAh llega al final de la jornada gracias a la pantalla LTPO que baja hasta 1 hercio. Cuando hace falta energía, la carga de 100 vatios llena 50 % en diez minutos, y la carga inalámbrica de 80 vatios evita cables. La segunda carta es la calidad fotográfica demostrable. En pruebas especializadas el Pura 80 Ultra leyó texto a treinta metros con nitidez, superando al Vivo X200 Ultra y al iPhone 16 Pro Max en zoom extremo. El sensor principal de una pulgada con apertura variable logra escenas nocturnas con menos ruido que sus rivales. Quien priorice la imagen va a encontrar aquí un compañero creativo, siempre que acepte vivir sin Google.  Huawei lleva más de diez años marcando tendencias en fotografía móvil: introdujo el modo noche avanzado y popularizó el zoom periscópico con el P30 Pro. Tras perder la alianza con Leica, invirtió en desarrollar su propia óptica y algoritmos bajo la marca XMAGE. En el Pura 80 Ultra ese trabajo se refleja en un rango dinámico de dieciséis pasos, cifra habitual en cámaras de cine. El teléfono también estrena cristal Kunlun de segunda generación, cuya dureza certificada duplica la resistencia a arañazos. Además, incluye un botón inteligente que hace de lector de huella y disparador rápido, ideal para creadores que necesitan capturar el momento. Todo esto se monta en un cuerpo de aluminio con certificación IP68/IP69 y un acabado que recuerda a la alta relojería, disponible en negro dorado y otros colores.   El Pura 80 Ultra muestra que Huawei sigue firme en la cima de la fotografía móvil: zoom mecánico dual, sensor gigante y diseño de lujo. Si dependes de las apps de Google, quizá no sea tu elección. Si buscas la mejor cámara posible en un teléfono, este modelo va a convertirse en tu aliado. Escúchame en Flash Diario para más detalles mañana.  Huawei Pura 80 Ultra ofrece zoom mecánico dual, sensor gigante, batería rápida; sacrificas Google, ganas fotos asombrosas, ¿te animas hoy?—

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. 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.

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.

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

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.

‘Hizo un logo con ChatGPT y pensó que ya podría ser grafista': preocupa la IA en las escuelas de artes visuales

Enfoque internacional

El debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial se instala en las escuelas de diseño, animación y fotografía de París. De la productividad a la sensibilidad artística, la comunidad educativa busca respuestas y garantías en cuanto a las salidas profesionales. ChatGPT, Midjourney y Firefly son solo algunos de los muchos nombres comerciales de la inteligencia artificial generativa (IAG), una tecnología que se nutre de datos, textos e imágenes para entrenar sus algoritmos y, a su vez, producir nuevos contenidos escritos y audiovisuales. Aunque el origen de la IA generativa se remonta a varias décadas atrás, el desarrollo exponencial durante los últimos años explica el debate acerca de sus límites éticos, su impacto ecológico y la creciente preocupación por su falta de regulación. Y también sobre la banalización del arte y el trabajo creativo.“Es un insulto a la vía misma”, declaró Hayao Miyazaki, fundador del famoso estudio de animación Studio Ghibli, tras la ola de imágenes inspiradas en el estilo de sus películas creadas con inteligencia artificial. Una opinión compartida por un sector de los estudiantes que aspiran a trabajar en dicha industria.Foco en la propiedad intelectual“Es regurgitar un montón de imágenes hechas por artistas a los que no han pedido su consentimiento. No tiene sentido”, se queja Lianne, estudiante en cine de animación en la escuela de Gobelins París. "Es ilegal, no pagan por los derechos de autor, ¡es un robo!", añade su compañera Laura. Sin una delimitación clara, la cuestión de la autoría sigue siendo confusa.“Es algo cada vez más presente en nuestro día a día y creo que irá a más”, opina Louane, que también cursa cine de animación en Gobelins. Prefiere no pensar en la inteligencia artificial porque le produce cierto estrés, “pero es verdad que hay que tenerlo en cuenta”, admite. “Si hacemos una formación tan reconocida como ésta es para encontrar trabajo después. Si la IA nos lo quita, es estúpido hacerla”, concluye.El diseño gráfico, ¿en peligro?Difícil obviar la cuestión. Según el último Informe sobre el Futuro de los Empleos del Foro Económico Mundial, publicado en enero de 2025, la automatización que la IA trae consigo supondrá la destrucción de 92 millones de puestos de trabajo para 2030, mientras que creará otros 170 millones. Entre las profesiones con una rápida tendencia de declive, según este informe, está el diseño gráfico.“Una compañera de trabajo que no tenía estudios en este ámbito hizo un logo con ChatGPT y pensó que así ya podría ser grafista. Me lo dijo como si mi trabajo fuese un fraude", cuenta Axelle, estudiante de la escuela de diseño LISAA.Útil para ganar tiempoPero la IA no es perfecta. Como cualquier otra herramienta, para los que se sirven de ella como tal, es necesario utilizarla correctamente para obtener los resultados deseados. "Te hace ganar mucho tiempo, pero hay que saber hacer un prompt (la orden que se le da a la IA para que responda con un texto, imagen o vídeo, NDLR) y seleccionar las imágenes correctas. Siempre hará falta un director artístico que la supervise”, asegura Noémie, también de la escuela LISAA. “Tengo un bagaje suficiente como para poder encontrar un empleo. No puedes no usarla solo por tener miedo a que te quite el trabajo."Algunos la usan porque la ven como una herramienta, otros la rechazan por motivos éticos o ecológicos, pero el debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial roza incluso lo filosófico. "Mientras no tengas demasiado apego a las herramientas y mantengas tu independencia y tus ideas, me parece bien", dice Tony, alumno de diseño gráfico y animación en la escuela ECV, aventurándose a hacer el paralelismo con la película “Her” (Spike Jonze, 2013), donde el personaje interpretado por Joaquín Phoenix se enamora de una inteligencia artificial.“En la escuela usamos la IA para generar storyboards que luego convertimos en secuencias de video.”. Para él, la utilidad está en la fase de preproducción de los proyectos, donde asegura que le permite avanzar mucho más rápido.Priorizar la creatividad y la sensibilidadEl grado de permisión e incorporación de la IAG en los programas educativos depende de cada escuela, de cada departamento y de cada docente. “Nosotros incorporamos la IA desde el primer año de la formación. Los alumnos aprenden técnicas de fotografía analógica y digital, pero también el tratamiento de sus fotos con inteligencia artificial”, explica Yann Philippe, enseñante de fotografía y vídeo en Gobelins."No sentimos que nuestro trabajo esté directamente amenazado por la IA y creemos que, con un buen uso e inteligencia, puede potenciar la creatividad de algunos alumnos”. Son sorprendentemente los que ingresan con amplios conocimientos de IA generativa los menos interesados en trabajar con ella y más con el formato analógico y los procesos tradicionales, a diferencia de quienes no la han utilizado aún. “De todas formas, las herramientas avanzan a tal velocidad que cuando terminamos de preparar los cursos, ya están obsoletas."“Hice el curso de Midjourney de Gobelins, pero me interesa más la autenticidad”, confiesa Axel, alumno de fotografía, con su cámara Leica analógica colgada del hombro. “Con IA o sin IA, lo importante es la motivación y la sensibilidad que cada artista pone en sus proyectos.” Este precisamente lo que Yann Philippe busca desarrollar porque considera que “es ahí donde está su valor añadido”.La inteligencia artificial generativa avanza más rápido que el ritmo al que se da respuesta a las dudas y preguntas que ésta plantea, y se exige un marco normativo a la altura de los retos que conlleva. La Ley de Inteligencia Artificial de la Unión Europea, en vigor desde el 1 de agosto de 2024, es un primer paso, pero no parece suficiente. En el ámbito educativo, la UNESCO ha realizado una llamada urgente a los gobiernos de todo el mundo para que la regulen de manera eficaz.
