Podcasts about railroad photography

This episode gives a behind the scenes look at the work it takes to produce our podcast, Observations & Conversations. For this episode, we sat down with Lisa Hardy, our student producer since August 2023. Lisa provides insight into her approach to tell stories through podcasting. We also talk about the unexpected moment we learned SUMA was selected to present at the virtual MuseumNext Digital Summit, in March 2024. Lisa will be moving on to a position with the Center for Railroad Photography & Art in Madison, Wisconsin. We wish Lisa all the best in her future!

Today our guest is Blair Kooistra, born in Chicago but spent most of his childhood in Denver and Salt Lake City. Blair worked as a photojournalist for the Standard-Examiner in Ogden from the mid-1980s until about 1991. Blair had a great eye, and I still have one of his photos hanging on the wall in my home office. But what Blair's most well-known for are his photos of railroading in the United States, Great Britain and Australia. Blair is the 2015 recipient of the Fred A. and Jane R. Stindt Photography Award from the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society. The president of the Center for Railroad Photography & Art said of Blair's work, “Overall Kooistra's work is among the most significant railroad photography of the post-steam era.” Have a look at Blair's rail photography, aircraft photography and photojournalism here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/120320833@N02/sets/. Blair recalls stories of working as a photojournalist in the Beehive State, and we hope you get a kick out of the conversation as much as we did.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/themediascrum)

On May 10, 2019, the 150th anniversary of the “golden spike,”—the ceremonial completion of The First Transcontinental Railroad, will be celebrated, and we at the B&H Photography Podcast are taking this opportunity to talk railroad photography. In the first half of the episode, we discuss the iconic image created by photographer A.J. Russell, at Promontory Summit, Utah, in 1869 of hundreds of workers gathered on and around two steam locomotives for this momentous occasion. We also touch upon the relationship between photography and the growth of rail travel in the United States and mention other important railroad photographers. During the second half of our show we focus on the gear, techniques, and safety protocols employed by three accomplished contemporary railroad photographers. Joining us for this episode are Scott Lothes, photographer and President and Executive Director of the Center for Railroad Photography & Art and the editor of its journal Railroad Heritage. Lothes discusses the Russell photograph and the Center’s mission, its archive, and its publications, including the recent book After Promontory: 150 Years of Transcontinental Railroading. We are also joined by photographers Eric Williams and Dennis Livesey. Williams is a fine art photographer who incorporates railroad and landscape photography into his work. He provides tips on workflow and shooting techniques and offers an overview of the subtle differences between the photographic styles within this subgenre. Livesey, who concentrates on urban rail transit and steam locomotives, brings his encyclopedic knowledge of railroad history and an insight on how to turn your passion into a photo project, specifically his 2016 book, Smoke Over Steamtown. Join us for this timely and celebratory episode. Guests: Scott Lothes, Eric Williams, and Dennis Livesey Photograph by A.J.
