Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks (belated) show we hear how John's work in preparation for his collaborative exhibition is going, how Clare's work in preparation for her part in the Experimental Photography festival is proceeding, and how Graeme flooded his shed with fixer. Not everyone can be doing something great I guess.    On top of that we have a great and thought provoking selection of emails to share with you.   Pinhole and lawn bowls event: https://www.realphotographycompany.co.uk/events-courses Large Format Camera Store: https://www.lfcamerastore.com/  

On this weeks show Graeme is chatting in person with Dave Walker, all round lovely chap and smart dude, about using modern and easily available technology to solve some of the problems facing analogue photographers and his own project attempting to re-interpret the innards of old electronics based cameras!   Find Dave on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davethewalker80/   And his T90 project here: https://thet90project.design.blog/  

On this weeks show we're joined by the mighty Mike Caputo to talk about his recently edited and published photography magazine which features a different photographer for each of the 50 US states sharing their work! We also talk about Graeme's new enlarger, the trip he made with John to get it, and his pretty amazing Birthday camera.   Also, there was a surprise collection of listener content at the end of the show for Graeme, including a couple of very different but equally magical songs amongst many other kindnesses. A huge thank you to everyone who got in touch and sent something in, you are all far better people than we deserve to have listening!   Find Mike on Instagram @aloha_bigmike The new zine can be seen and bought here: https://www.blurb.com/b/10703303-america-fifty-on-film   https://www.ilfordphoto.com/making-a-photobook-from-darkroom-prints/   The Birthday Song by Silence is full of birds https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

On this weeks show it's the return of the One Hour Challenge, where the hosts of the show have one hour to try and accomplish a photographic goal, and you get to listen along to see how well (or otherwise) they get on.   The challenge this time out was to use household light sources as cheap/free ways of lighting our pictures. Both the results and the light sources used were very varied...   Music used on the show: Pixelland by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4222-pixelland License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

John and Graeme return with another sack of listener emails, cheap shot challenge entries and general chatter

On this weeks show it feels like we've gone full Cher and and turned back time, because it's Ade and Graeme talking to our old friend, Simon Riddell! Simon joins us to talk about his struggles over the last 12 months, and how wet plate photography not only gave him a means of coping with these difficult times, but ended up being far more important as a tool for mental wellbeing both for himself and others.   As the subject matter is a little heavier than usual, and Simon says shit an awful lot, this may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive listeners.   You can see the work we talk about here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentalcollodion/ Or  here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LSyKiwiy6elj4_8W67FMZOFSlw1n--X-?usp=sharing
