Welcome to episode 54 (i think), which features the one and only Dawn, wife of the phlogger!  You've recently had the pleasure of her intro's rather than my dulcit tones, so thought it would be nice for her to join me. In this episode we discuss: Podcast changes Podcasts guests coming soon Blogging Instagram Facebook So you may have noticed a change in the name to "Photography insights - important industry reviews", this is to try and hone my SEO skills!  Yes i'm trying to appeal to more people and get the message out about what we are doing.  It would be great to spread the word, share knowledge and for people to listen to these amazing people.  It's truly an honour each time for someone to spend their precious time and impart what they do and have learned with us all.  The episodes will be named to show relevance to the interviewee too going forward, so if anyone is searching for them, hopefully one day the podcast will show in the Google! Yes I never stop planning guests, sometimes they happen all at once and I'm trying to find time to edit and spend time perfecting things behind the scenes for you.  I'm in talks with some great people so keep watching the Twitter (https://twitter.com/mraiwalmsley)and Facebook feeds (https://facebook.com/phlogger.co.uk/).  Not all may happen but we will see, i'm keeping positive.  I do have a long list of people and strive to look at different genres and types in the industry where possible.  I want to keep it fresh and bring different minds in and keep you all motivated. On the blogging front we've recently had an amazing guest post by David Hochleitner (https://phlogger.co.uk/how-to-shoot-colour-infrared-film-by-david-hochleitner/) all about shooting colour infra red on film.  It's a great read, with a clear guide how David works and how to use the film.  He provides a great insight in to this interest ex-surveillance film. Their is also an article by myself on shooting your first wedding called "how to survive your first solo wedding". I've gone through the experiences from my shoot, how I planned and prepared for this.  I talk about equipment choices, failures and how to cope with anxiety.  Yes I shot film too on my first wedding, which all worked out nice in the end! Instagram - main blogging feed is still  https://www.instagram.com/phlogger.co.uk Instagram - my images are now on on https://www.instagram.com/phlogger_photos/ It's been great to get hold of someone who is going to work alongside me about street photography.  Finally I've met another person with the interest, intellect, skill and personality to work as a team.  There will be big changes for my street group and what will come in the future.  For those interested it can be found here https://www.facebook.com/groups/pavementsphotography I would like to remind everyone to leave an iTunes review as always - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/phlogger-andrew-walmsley/id1379816844?mt=2 Thanks to my wife for helping with intro's and who knows what will happen for the future.  She has a lovely voice and talented with her crafts. See you all next time.

 John and Coleen Graybill help run the Curtis legacy foundation and their other business Mountain Spirit photo.  John is a direct descendant of Edward Curtis, a photographer from the late 1800’s/early 1900's who famously photographed the native Americans. John’s foundation is key to protecting and showcasing the work of this photographer.  If you don’t know who he was, then dont worry, keep listening, but in short he took thousands of dry plate photographs over a 30 year period.  Because of his subject matter, it was important work in terms of culture and history. Please do listen in to this interview, you find will out about how John & Coleen are attempting to photograph the descendants of the original subjects too, using the same techniques (Descendants project). So stayed tuned to learn about JP Morgan, Teddy Roosevelt, General Custer and how history was re-written.  We also discuss: Quinn Jacobson & Jason lane Portrait tents Persecution of Native Americans  Edward curtis life JP Morgan, Teddy Roosevelt + General Custer The history book lies $150 horse fees Sacrifices of an artist  Descendants project Kickstarter pictures How to scare a bear    TIMING 0 intro + friendships 7 toolsets,intentions+ art 14 edward curtis and his life 22 Curtis research of native american 27 technology 33 fear in Alaska at devils island 40 divorces,children + hollywood 49 descendants project 61 culture changes 69 kickstarter 76  random questions  LINKS Please do check out their amazing work and sign up for their newsletter!

I'm very honoured to present our next guest, who will be the least youngest person I've interviewed! Since its the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, I've got hold of Robert Shanebook who worked for Kodak.  Not only did he join the biggest film company in the world, but he was part of the team who built the camera used on the Appollo space missions!  Yes I'm talking about the camera that filmed Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong!!! Robert is the only remaining member of the team from 1969, due to the age differences of his colleagues (he was only 21).  He has had amazing career with Kodak and published 2 editions of his book.  We discuss: Started shooting at 14 with commercial studio shooting 4x5!!

Well folks we made it to episode, so that also means a year of podcasting.  For this one I wanted to have a relaxing chat with some of my prior guests and get an update to what has happened. It's been an amazing, emotional and hard working lesson in life.  I've met some very interesting characters around the world whom I now call friends.  From my early days of just using my mobile phone and playing with different ways of recording, i've settled down in to something custom built by myself.  This now allows me live video with my guests, which helps us with the conversation and allows me to see emotion.  Once I've converted this to audio I can then present the important part of our conversations. For this show we have: Paul McKay from Analogue Wonderland Jon Scrimshaw from Instinctive Photography Jason "speed plates" Lane of Pictoriographica Steve Lloyd from Chroma Camera Paul Lefko from L.A. EM from emulsive.org Yes this did take some planning and took a fair bit of time to get this episode ready for you.  Everybody on the show has interesting news since their podcast interviews and due listening to in their own right.  In summary we discuss: life changes collaboration websites Kickstarter + plate holders latest shoots podcasts award nominations scanning origin of random questions RANDOM QUESTIONS To mix this up everybody was invited to ask the Phlogger questions for a change.  One of my guests tries his hand at a new way to answer the questions too!  But find out: Phlogger's embarrassing accident origin of random questions why i'm an honorary scouser my favorite film I'm a humble person who loves to celebrate the work of other people, hopefully you will enjoy listening to our guests.  I really can't thank you all for joining in this one off show.  A couple of people had to cancel or couldn't make it, so a shout out to Dominique in New York, Leyton in Scotland and Ashley in Australia. I'm nothing without my wonderful guests, each one has inspired me in a different way, each one has shown compassion and an insight in to their personality.  It is great to say many have remained friends and the Phlogger will always follow their work and showcase where possible. Finally thanks to all you listeners too, i'm nothing without you and hope you get something out of the show.  My aims are to help educate people about other processes and genres of photography.  It's important they remain fun but also show the personality of the person, its these insights that resonate within me.

Wow, am I excited to present episode 49.  It was an absolute honour to work with the master of wet collodion, Quinn Jacobson.  If you search for wet collodion online you basically see Quinn's book and his videos, articles etc.  Not many people have published and help us the public learn about this historic process. We interview Quinn and discuss so many things, so yes its a long one (we talked for hours actually)!

For this episode we present a special one off edition. It's a highlight of random questions from the guests during 2018. They are not picked on any specific merits, but chosen some of those that worked well. The whole point is to think out of the box and push the guest in to a different frame of mind. The responses are what really made the questions so great. Because of these we can write more for future guests. For anyone thinking of being interviewed, take a quick listen for what you may have to face!
