In this Monday episode, we chat with Nik Kalyani, a serial entrepreneur, early crypto miner, CryptoKitties owner and generally an early NFT adopter, and founder of NftyDreams DAO. Nik would call himself more of a catalyst than a collector, but that being said, he has collected 25 photo NFTs from Sloika-verified photographers including Jassi Oberai, Haesum Ali, Kevin Paul Zilaboo, Ebrahim Elmi, Bondhu Dey, and Subodh Shetty. He is a self-proclaimed tech geek who also likes to build DIY projects in his free time. He feels a “Ready-Fire-Aim” style of thinking, asking for what you want, and waking up very early are keys to success for entrepreneurs. We learn that both Nik and Ev Tchebotarev are fans of Scott Adams' book, “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.” Nik sees NFTs as vectors to help people in real life and we learn how NftyDreams DAO does just that to fulfill its core mission. Recorded October 24, 2022. Our speakers: Nik Kalyani, Ev Tchebotarev, Subodh Shetty, Maheen, Siradipity, Kirit Prajapati, Waleed Shah, Jeremy Oogleyboogley, Craig Fruchtman, and host, Pam Voth.

In this Monday episode, we are joined by collector, AlphaTrilogy, for a chat about how he got started collecting fine art in real life and how this transformed into collecting fine art NFTs and photography NFTs in particular. We check in on his recent acquisitions which include 35 pieces (at current count) by Sebastião Salgado, several pieces shot in North Korea by Stéphan Gladieu, and Helios by Subodh Shetty. Besides photo NFT collecting, we talk about fishing, Ted – the regionally-famous oil painter and restaurant owner, what Alpha looks for when buying art, how he discovers what to buy, some early lessons learned in the NFT space, the risks that are introduced when considering an upgradable smart contract like Manifold is offering, semi-custodial wallets, SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum), and how a Delorean Alpha5 NFT can turn into a very fancy ride IRL and in the Metaverse. Recorded October 17, 2022. Our speakers: AlphaTrilogy, Ev Tchebotarev, Subodh Shetty, Kafeel Gillani, Waleed Shah, Kirit Prajapati, Adam Carity, Zach Lipp, Dave Yoder, and host, Pam Voth. ------------------------------------------ Website: https://sloika.xyz Twitter: https://twitter.com/sloikaxyz Telegram: https://t.me/sloikaxyz Discord: https://discord.gg/FJpYyVPBY2 Instagram: https://instagram.com/sloika.xyz Newsletter: https://sloika.xyz/subscribe

16 June 2021: If you are looking to find out how to take care of your garden during Dubai's summer heat, well we have some top tips for you from Mohammed Al Dhuhouri from Local Roots UAE. Are you looking for a getaway but not quite sure where you can travel to, don't worry because Helen gets the lowdown from Emily Jenkins at Dnata. Author and photographer Waleed Shah explains the inspiration behind his latest project Rock Your Ugly. We talk to Dr Sam Westhead about how to deal with grief when it comes to your pet, and we find out how one lady is dealing with that right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, we talk with Waleed Shah on how he uses photography to break stereotypes and challenge societal norms, in both his personal and commercial work. In creating work with and about people of other cultures, he acknowledges the importance of cultural sensitivity, and the importance of learning from people who truly understand the culture. Waleed discusses how, in commercial photography, it's possible to set up a scene specifically to alter perceptions of a particular group of people. He also describes his upfront approach to ethics, and how commercial brands may respond to this. What you'll find inside: “In a masculine dominated society, you'll have the man driving and the woman in the passenger seat so, you know, when I saw that visual, I hadn't seen the visual before shooting, but when I was shooting and I saw them sitting there I was like guys, this is so stereotypical, let's switch this up. So we switched up the lady having her in the driver's seat, and it's like a muscle car and they're having a light interaction, not a flirty interaction. So it's those societal norms or those stereotypes that you kind of try to break so it's not just another lame ad.” (6:49) “From an ethical standpoint, what I understand with documentary photography, it's like you want to keep the scene as is, you don't want to touch it, you know because you're documenting what is happening in reality, you don't want to pose people, you don't want to crop in a way that changes the story. Whereas in commercial photography you can set up the scene in a way to change perceptions.” (8:40) “It's generally resistant, to be very honest, it's generally resistant. But the people themselves, the people working for the brands, understand it. But there's always this expectation that my boss won't approve it, my boss won't like it and if only that person was in the room with us I could take them into it.” (9:47) On cultural sensitivity for The Father's Day Project: “I took a buddy with me who is from Kerala, his family's there, he grew up there, and he really helped me navigate that culture, and also translate, and be respectful.' (11:27) “t's a strange way to put it but you actually get famous, you get well known for putting your foot down on certain issues. So once you put your foot down on one topic, the industry will know about it. And it can go both ways... One way it can go is the bad way which is, oh this is a difficult person. Let's not work with them.” (17:44) What does photo ethics mean to Waleed?“I think it changes with every conversation. And that's one of the reasons I actually don't like having the questions in advance so I can't really prepare the answers, and I just have to think off the top of my head. But I think today it's about representing every culture and breaking every stereotype that you possibly can - when we're talking about the commercial side of things. … representing the right cultures in an image and breaking the stereotypes of that culture because I think, at least in our generation, we're kind of done with our parents' generation of thinking. You know, we want to get rid of that. It's all about the male, female roles, it's all about cultural minority roles - breaking those stereotypes and levelling the marketing to include everybody.” (25:58) Links Behind the Scenes Video - Emarat | Expect the UnexpectedRock Your UglyMagazine Cover The Father's Day Project

"People treat you different when you have like a year beard" Going into this Epsiode 3 of the Nobody’s Famous Podcast, it was a first for us. Why? Well because unlike the 2 previous episodes, we knew Waleed the least. Waleed Shah, a photographer, creative thinker and entrepreneur based in the UAE joined us to talk about a lot of different topics. We discussed how he deals with strong or hateful comments on his work, his musical roots, his run with the famous White Cube Studio in Abu Dhabi and he delved into his artistic process including a modern photographer’s workflow. This was an interesting episode as it allowed us to get commentary from someone who had his work criticized on several occasions and it also gave us a perspective into what we should do next on the podcast.
