Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks show we're joined by the wonderful Solarcan Man himself, Mr Sam Cornwell, to hear all about the Solarcan Puck which is up on Kickstarter now. This is a really properly cool little creation that is absolutely worth your time to investigate, so go have a look before the Kickstarter ends.   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/samcornwell/the-solarcan-puck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxgfHJ8WEYg https://solarcan.co.uk/matrix https://www.instagram.com/thesolarcan/ https://twitter.com/thesolarcan  

On this weeks show we're delighted to be joined by the mighty Steve Starr (better known by many as @stig_ofthedump) To talk about the book a Fortunate man from the 60's a work produced by writer John Berger and documentary photographer Jean Mohr detailing the life and practice of a local GP in a small village in the Forest of Dean, and how Steve used this as an inspiration to create his own book, not only for the subject matter, but also for the way the writing and pictures were used together to create a whole story.   https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/feb/07/john-sassall-country-doctor-a-fortunate-man-john-berger-jean-mohr https://twitter.com/Stig_Ofthedump https://www.instagram.com/stig_ofthedump/ https://photieplace.wordpress.com/

On this weeks show we chat about our various efforts to actually get off our collective arses over the last week and engage with our hobby in many and diverse ways, with a surprising amount of success!

On this weeks show we talk about what we'd be leaving behind for others if we suddenly weren't here. This included topics like the way we all handle our image storage, both digital and physical, how our pictures could be accessed and used by others in the future, and how someone who isn't into photography could make any sense out of our mountains of gear!

It's a post festive period catchup this week, and a look ahead to a year of hopefully photographic fun.    Our impromptu list of monthly subject/inspiration topics: January: Desires February: Traffic March: Blue April: Magic May: Tree June: Song Lyric July: Electric Dreams August: Motivated light September: Forced perspective October: Event November: Into the night December: Faces

Seasons Greetings everyone, we're here with an alcohol fueled mini Sunny Awards show so pull the good stuff out of 2021 before we cast the generally wretched year into the fiery abyss forever.   Some of the awesome stuff and people from this year:   Ethan Moses 20x24 Instant Pictures Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cameradactylmongoose/20x24-instant-pictures-in-los-angeles Reveni Spot meter: https://www.reveni-labs.com/spotmeter Pinsta camera: https://www.pinstacamera.com/ Photography Through the Pandemic Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hamishgill/photography-through-the-pandemic   I Dream of Cameras: https://www.idreamofcameras.com/   They Live movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live Anna Atkins: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/anna-atkins-cyanotypes-the-first-book-of-photographs.html James Lane: https://www.zoneimaginglab.co.uk/about Audrey Steimer: https://audreysteimer.com/ Emma Lloyd: https://www.instagram.com/ejlloydart/?hl=en Alex Heron: https:/

On this weeks show, after a suitably rambling start, we get into a discussion about some of Ade and Clare's favourite photographers (the very different William Eggleston, Dianne Arbus, Corinne Day and Helmut Newton) why their work has been important to them over the years, and why it stands out amongst the sea of photography out there. We also have a couple of cracking follow up emails from last weeks show. 

Ade, Clare and Graeme ease themselves back into the podcast mindset with a rambling conversation about our recent adventures, what inspires us to shoot, how we feel about what we shoot and a host of digressions. Like we said, we're easing our rusty pod-brains back into gear this week, so bear with!

The podcast returns this week as Ade, Clare, Hamish and Graeme get together to remember our dear friend John in the way that he affected all of our lives - positively. No tears, some laughs, and at the end just a whole load of John   We don't dwell on what his loss means to us personally, because if you listened to the last podcast then you deserve a break and a medal, and if you've listened to this podcast over the last couple of years then you already know. He brought joy, wisdom, compassion, support and inspiration to all of us, and now we don't have him. It sucks. It hurts.   Thanks for bearing with us :)   If you would like to back the Photography through the Pandemic book which Hamish talks about, now dedicated to John's memory, then go here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hamishgill/photography-through-the-pandemic If you would like to donate to the Just Giving page, go here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/anne-marie-brownlee-1
