What do you do if a black bear wants a word with you, and all you've got for protection is a jacket? No handbook for that. The same goes for being miles from anti-venom after a snake bite or realizing a polar bear thinks you're lunch. For National Geographic photographer and filmmaker David Wright, this isn't fiction, it's just another day at work. He's got the dream job if you don't mind bears, snakes, and the occasional impalement. We talk about David's incredible career, laced with adventure and the occasional serving of chance! Also, on the show, Reid Naaykens shares how creating stock images has brought his work to life in ways Instagram hasn't lately. Kyle Attwood is back with more tales of photographing rafts, the ones made from milk cartons. Meanwhile, Hegaard the Dane faces an unexpected challenge from swan song and Valerie Jardin joins us for the very first TEACH ME STREET segment. Looking ahead to next week, we meet a photographer who turned The Séance into a best-selling photobook, plus, a reminder of this month's ONE WORD ASSIGNMENT, set by today's guest, David Wright. Links to all guests and features will be on the showpage, my sincere thanks to MPB who sponsor this show and the Extra Milers without whom we wouldn't be walking each week. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.

Storyteller Al Brydon is a walker with a camera enraptured by the landscape and human interaction with it. He's published and exhibited internationally, and his projects may surprise you, including his fascination with graveyard bins and an encounter with a phantom cat. Also today from the mailbag: a Route 66 adventure, the best natural medicine that we ALL have access to, Mexico in an RV, a story witnessed by a centuries-old tree, and synchronised picture making on our trails. Plus, it being the second Friday of the month, street photographer and mentor Valerie Jardin is here with Visual Stories.

Welcome to a photography podcast where we walk together with a mailbag of stories and pictures. My guest today, John Dolan, understands and completely embraces the importance of the photographic moment over photographic perfection. The second edition of his best-selling monograph, The Perfect Imperfect, is about to be released, and in it, he invites photographers to look beyond the shot list and find beauty and truth in imperfect moments. He has photographed the most recent Whitehouse Wedding; he is Seinfeld's family documentarian, and he is trusted to record the most intimate and often vulnerable moments for clients including Will Smith and Gwyneth Paltrow. Also from the mailbag as we walk, making pictures of the beautifully inanimate, the things that we pass by every day and never give a second thought to, a case of mistaken Googling when typing in the letters M A L and I, a letter on dragging yourself out of bed at sunrise, solar eclipses, the winner of last month's assignment, plus it being the second Friday of the month, street photographer and photography mentor Valerie Jardin joins me for Visual Stories, this month talking about timeless pictures in Paris.

Das "German Street Photography Festival" geht in seine dritte Runde: Eingebettet in die PHOTOPIA in Hamburg (21. bis 24. September 2023) liegt der Fokus auf "Dokumentation & Wandel". Wie sich das genau im Programm ausdrückt und was die Besucher sonst noch alles erwartet, verrät Organisator Marco Larousse. Beim "Meet & Street"-Treffen Anfang Juli in Nürnberg war die Nachricht noch ganz frisch: Das „German Street Photography Festival“ geht in die dritte Runde. Damals habe ich mich kurz mit den Organisatoren Marco Larousse, Siegfried Hansen und Martin U Waltz unterhalten, wie es gelungen ist, das Streetfotografie-Festival wieder in die PHOTOPIA zu integrieren. Nun, ein paar Wochen später, habe ich mit Marco Larousse darüber gesprochen, was sich seitdem in der Bühnen- und Programmplanung getan hat.  Wir sprechen über den Fokus des 3. GSPF, der auf "Wandel und Dokumentation" liegt. Darüber hinaus erklärt Marco, welche Rolle das Festival im Konzert mit vielen anderen Veranstaltungen & Treffen in der deutschen Stereofotografie-Szene spielt - denn eines ist klar:  Seit Marco, Siegfried und Martin 2019 im Goldbekhaus (Hamburg) der Streetfotografie in Deutschland zum ersten Mal eine große Bühne gaben, hat sich viel getan.  Mittlerweile gibt es in fast allen deutschen Großstädten aktive Kollektive. Auch die Vernetzung untereinander wächst – wie man zuletzt beim 3. "Meet & Street" in Nürnberg eindrucksvoll sehen konnte.  Ich persönlich freue mich sehr, dass die Street Photography auch auf der PHOTOPIA wieder prominent vertreten sein wird.  Thomas Jones und ich dürfen mit einem Vortrag zum Programm beitragen. Im Rahmen der PHOTOPIA veranstalten wir auch wieder unsere "Street Photography"-Workshops in Hamburg. Der Termin am 20. September ist schon ausgebucht. Für den 25. September sind aber noch ein paar Plätze frei. Wenn du Lust hast, mit uns Street Photography in der Praxis zu erleben, würden wir uns sehr freuen, dich dabei zu haben.  Street Photography spielt auch im GATE7 Podcast immer wieder eine wichtige Rolle. Stöbert doch einfach mal im Archiv und schaut, wen ich schon alles als Gast begrüßen durfte - unter anderem Sean Tucker, Marco Larousse, Valerie Jardin, Martin U Waltz, Siegfried Hansen, Pia Parolin, Gustavo Minas, Samuel Lintaro Hopf und so weiter - dazu ausführliche Features über Street Collective in Deutschland. Alles unter: www.gatesieben.de/street-photography Viel Spaß beim Entdecken und Hören. Und wenn du auf der Photopia 2023 bist, dann sag bitte "Hallo"!  Marco Larousse im Internet Webseite: https://www.marcolarousse.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/ Podcast: "Photo Podcast Network (PPN)" Podcast "Eigen Energie Wende" "German Street Photography Festival" im Internet Webseite: https://www.germanstreetphotographyfestival.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/germanstreetphotofestival/ // Werbung // Falls du den Podcast heute zum ersten Mal hörst, schau dich gerne auch mal im Archiv um. Mittlerweile findest du da über 350 Folgen – darunter viele Interviews, in denen es um Reportage, Storytelling und Street Photography geht. Zu diesen Themen haben Thomas B.

Sean and I talk about what it means to create meaningful work. Other topics are how to deal with creative challenges, venture into new projects and evolve as an artist. At the end we also tackle the question how AI might change photography. „The sooner you stop listening to the social media score, the sooner you'll be able to start on a journey to becoming a great photographer and realizing that all that stuff is pointless.“ Sean Tucker In a previous episode we talked about his book „The Meaning in the Making“.  This time we met in Cologne, Germany, where he was to give a talk about what it means to lead a creative life. And in a way that is also what we talked about in this interview. It was a real pleasure to sit down with Sean. I enjoy his philosophical way of approaching photography instead of obsessing over gear. The camera is just a tool that we have to master – but then what? Sean reminds us to ponder our reasons why we pick up a camera. He says: „What are you building and why? And think longterm!“ I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.  Half way through you'll hear a snippet of the audio that comes with the first issue of Seans new magazine called „Parable“.  In case you haven't done already – please check out Seans YouTube-Channel and get a copy of his book „The Meaning In The Making“*.  Both are tremendous resources if you want to grow as an artist and storyteller.  You find all the links in the shownotes or on the website at: https://www.gatesieben.de/podcast/sean-tucker Sean Tucker on the internet: Webseite: https://www.seantucker.photography/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/seantuckerphoto Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seantuck/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/seantuckerphoto If you are a first time listener of the podcast and like what you here – please check out the other interviews in English.  As I mentioned there are two previous episodes with Sean. In addition you find interviews and talks with Steve McCurry, Nick Brandt, National Geographic photographer Eric Valli, street photographer Valerie Jardin, humanitarian photographer David DuChemin and many more.  // Werbung // Falls du den Podcast heute zum ersten Mal hörst, schau dich gerne auch mal im Archiv um.

Although Debby Cole, a former business owner and corporate executive from Austin Texas, spent spent most of her adult life as a landscape photographer she never considered street photography until she attended (almost by accident) a workshop with Valerie Jardin in Paris. Debby says it changed her life.

This week Valerie Jardin and guest co-host Jens Krauer answer listener questions, announce the winner of the last photo challenge and talk about the next one.

In this episode the tables are turned and Valerie Jardin is being interviewed by Alec Hosterman on her teaching philosophy, ethics as a street photographer, and much more.

Part 2 of my chat with the wonderful Valerie Jardin! Last time we covered her process of building a fine art photo book (episode link) and this time it's a freeflow chat about Paris, getting the shots on the street (whether on her own or while leading her workshops), then some gear chat re. the Fujifilm gear she prefers to use and how she prefers to set those settings. After that it's Q&A with yours truly solo on the mic to take your questions both creative and technical, this round it's about what cameras and lenses (and more) that I pack for my travels both near and far. Hope you enjoy, and questions or feedback is welcome via thisphotolifepod {at} gmail.com should it interest or please!

Josh Coombes is a UK-based hairdresser and when he started to reach out to the homeless in his city and offer them free haircuts, he started the hashtag #dosomethingfornothing. It wasn’t long before he decided to take this idea to more than just his native city. The idea is that as the hashtag and online presence grow, others will be inspired to ‘do something for nothing’. Whether that may be to people sleeping rough or basically anyone in need of some love. He recently collaborated with US-based street photographer and educator Valerie Jardin. They took to the streets of New York City to offer haircuts, compassion and interaction with a community often disregarded in our culture.   Resources: Download the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.

Photo by Valerie Jardin. There will be two songs played at my funeral. ‘Amazing Grace’ on the bagpipes and ‘Sometimes It Snows In April’ by Prince. Thursday as I closed my lecture at the end of class, my inbox was in the background and the top email’s subject line read “Prince Dead at 57” and my first thought was “which Prince died?” Opening the email, I blurted out “Oh shit, Prince is dead.” The students all gave me a look and Dylan who happened to be in class with me after a college tour of Bentley instantly hugged me and asked if I was ok. I didn’t even know how to respond. The first thought I had in my head was “I can’t believe it died. I can’t believe it happened in April.” Prince has always been the artist who has had the biggest effect on my life. His music has been used to celebrate, grieve and motivate. Very few days of my life did not involve one of his songs out of a speaker or in my head. It is just the way it has always been. I’ve been writing this post in my head ever since I heard the news. I’ve been listening to almost nothing but his music. Watching videos, laughing, crying, showing my kids Purple Rain for the first time. If you did not know how big of a fan I was, you were not that close of a friend. My phone didn’t stop vibrating on Thursday as a slew of notes came in from Friends checking in to see how I was doing. While not as earth shattering as a family member passing, this death is one that won’t be out of my mind for a very long time and my friends knew this and checked in on me. I can’t begin to express how much that was needed and appreciated. I love you all for it. You’ve got to understand that Prince has been my favorite musician since I understood what it was to be a fan of music. Music was always playing in my house. The radio was rarely off. I grew up on a steady diet of all kinds of music and yet as a child of the Eighties, Prince grabbed me in a way that few could understand. The first memory I have of Prince was the moment I saw the video for 1999 on MTV. Getting cable was a big deal and I’d spend hours watching music videos. This new art form and being exposed to such a diverse variety of music was heaven for me. I still laugh about opening up a 1999 cassette on Christmas morning and my parents informing me that they listened to it to make sure that it was ok for me. I remember this being a bit confusing because while I hadn’t heard the whole album yet, I was nine years old and knew there were some questionable things on it. Looking back I’ve always wondered if they actually listened to it and we’re cool with me being exposed to the unknown, or if it was a fib told by parents. It was still wrapped, so I like to believe it was a combination of the two. Two years later, my girlfriend would give me a cassette of Purple Rain for my birthday and my parents would give me a copy as well. Both copies would get plenty of play. Shortly thereafter, my grandparents would be babysitting me and I’d plead with them to let me watch Purple Rain on HBO. I had no idea how awkward this would become, but I’m convinced this movie is what gave me my never ending love of black thigh high stockings and brunettes. Being online ahead of most of the world, there was a special day when I learned about the world of trading Prince bootlegs. I wish I could recall how I discovered this, but these were the days of Usenet, Telnet and email being an extreme rarity. Soon little brown packages would begin arriving from around the globe and day after day I’d send out two high quality Maxell tapes per bootleg I wanted. There was no money exchanged. It was all for the love of the music and hearing things I had never heard of before. Again, my parents barely batted an eye. They asked me about them and I showed them. One time I remember my dad jokingly walking into my room as I was listening to the latest arrival and him shaking his head with “where did I go wrong with this one?” in reaction to my love of Prince. Dad, gave me lots of great music. Billy Joel, Van Halen, The Eagles, James Taylor and Harry Chapin all come from him spinning records as we fell asleep at night. But, he could never understand where my love of Prince came from. If you are not aware, Prince played an aftershow almost every night after a concert. Hours after he completed a concert, he would play a show at a small club. These were famous for long jam sessions, rare tracks and him at his finest. I still remember the first time I heard Small Club, 2nd Show That Night from The Netherlands and my world never being the same again. There are so many memories of the man, his music and the way it injected itself as a core part of my life. When Batman came out, everyone I knew was excited about it. I love movies too so that was part of my excitement, but I was more jazzed about the soundtrack. Prince was doing a movie soundtrack!! Are you kidding me? That is gold. Or the time in college when I had to take the shuttle into Boston because I needed to buy the Symbol album the moment it came out. Without a car this was my only choice and there was no way I wasn’t buying it the second it came out. My roommates were confused and baffled. Thankfully I had headphones so I didn’t need to listen to them. There were always waves of popularity with Prince. He’d have a song hit the charts and suddenly everyone liked him. I loved these moments because I loved people loving him even if it was only for a song that hit the charts. I got shit my whole life for being a Prince fan. It didn’t matter. I knew what I loved and since when have I ever rarely cared what other people thought of me?. The bootleg days were far behind me since I was listening to CDs and the blossoming new MP3 format that was starting to come out. Over a conversation with someone from one of my classes at Bentley the topic of Prince came up and this kid was shocked to learn I was a fan. This happened a lot. True Prince fans loved finding others like them. There was no secret handshake, but there was an instant connection. Chris, opened my mind again to a whole new world of bootlegs. These were not just aftershow recordings, but unreleased tracks. Studio quality stuff that had been leaked from the vault. Whole albums that were never put up for sale, but were traded around by die hard fans. I had found gold. Lots and lots of gold!!! If you listened to my radio show in college, visited my room or came over for a party you were exposed to Prince. Few things made a party more interesting than throwing on P Control late in the night after many drinks. I can’t help but grin thinking about some of the things that went on when that was playing. Thankfully I saw Prince live three times in my life. First was at DOR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. A smallish venue and he tore the place up. Next, was front row at The Boston Garden. His guitar solo during a cover of Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love is still one of the most amazing performances I’ve ever seen. The final time I saw prince was two years ago at Mohegan Sun. I was SICK to the point of almost not going to the show. Laura had surprised me with tickets for my birthday and this is Prince, so unless I was on a stretcher I was going. The lights went down and Janelle Monae came on stage. I had no idea she was the opening act and Laura didn’t know who she was. I was going nuts. Especially since Prince came out on stage for the opening song. I had met Janelle the year before and instantly became a fan of her music. How could I not when it was obviously forged in the purple fire? To give you an idea of how sick I was, as the lights came up at the end of the show I prayed to any gods listening that I would not be given a ticket to the aftershow because I didn’t know if I could survive that and if I was given one I certainly wouldn’t be able to pass it up. Prince was an artist beyond art. He was a man full of talent and whole lived life on his own terms. How many men could pull off heels, fishnets and still make anyone bow down in amazement as he shredded the guitar or rocked the base. I’ve had fun watching people share videos on social media that I’ve seen a million times. Part of it makes me sad that so many people did not realize how talented he was, but I’m glad that they are discovering it now at least. How he died does not matter to me, but the fact that he is gone kills me. The last celebrity death that had any real effect on me was when I heard on the radio that Kurt Cobain was gone. Strange that it happened as I was heading back to Bentley from work. That hit me hard, but nothing like this. With every death that happens I’ve often said in my head how I can’t imagine the day Prince dies because I know it is going to be horrible for me. I honestly thought I had many more years before that would happen, but none of have control over that. The world lost one of its most creative last week. There will be an endless list of tributes, posts and thoughts. I had to write mine because I had to get the words out of my head. I had to write something to remember a man who had such a big role in the man I am today. You’ll never be able to appreciate how much he meant to me. How important his music is, was and ever shall be. I may not cloak myself in purple, but I sure am hurting inside right now. I’ll always have his music. The world will hear more of it as the doors of his vault finally crack open at some future date. It is impossible to explain how a stranger’s death can have such a devastating effect on me. Perhaps it is because he wasn’t a stranger to me even though I did not know him. Rest in Peace Prince. Thank you for all that you created.

Episode 1 of the Out of Chicago Podcast   Please leave a review of the podcast on iTunes. Thanks! (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/out-chicago-photography-podcast/id881281935?mt=2) 1. An introduction to the Out of Chicago podcast I started the Out of Chicago podcast for the same reason that I started the Out of Chicago site, wrote The Photographer’s Guide to Chicago (http://www.amzn.com/B00F08993Q) eBook, that I’m making the Photographer’s Guide to Chicago App with Craig Ellis, or that I’m running the Out of Chicago Conference (http://outofchicago.com/conference) this summer. I was disappointed that these things did not already exist. Podcasts are one of my favorite ways to keep up with the photography community because I can listen to them in the car when I can’t do much else. Sorry to the Disney Podcast guys! It’s ISO5571 (http://www.iso5571.com/) , not whatever number I said. If you’re a photographer and you’re headed to a Disney park, I highly recommend the podcast. I just don’t really get the name. 2. An interview with Valerie Jardin I am extremely fortunate to have made so many amazing friends in photography, and Valerie Jardin is one of my most recent new friends. Valerie writes for Digital Photography School, is a frequent guest and sometimes even hosts the This Week in Photo Podcast, and runs street photography workshops all over the world. Learn more about her and her upcoming workshops at www.ValerieJardinPhotography.com (http://www.valeriejardinphotography.com) 3.
