"Globally, 70-80% of photography students are women – yet they account for only 13-15% of professional photographers. Data from the US Census Bureau in 2019 shows that 73% of Photographers are 'White (Non-Hispanic),' compared to 62% of the population, while 8% of photographers are Black and 5% are Asian, compared to 12% and 6% of the population respectively." UK-based photographer Izzie Farr, guests on the show to discuss how she identified a lack of diversity in the images Kodak curates on their social media site and how the letter titled, 'Dear Kodak' went viral throughout the film photography community.

Photographer Wesley Verhoeve joins the podcast to discuss his Photo Book, "Notice." We learn about Wesley growing up learning photography from his father. We then dive into learning how COVID-19 changed his photography, traveling worldwide, meeting and photographing people. While socially distanced in suburban Vancouver, Wesley challenged himself to look differently in areas we would once consider ordinary. Now his project is complete, he and Dan Rubin carefully curated these images into the book called "Notice." In this book, Wesley now displays these images in a meaningful way that allows the viewer to notice similarities of patterns, shapes, and color as the viewer turns the page.

Kodachrome: songs have been written about it, parks have been named after it, movies have been produced about it. It is an iconic film that has not been commercially processed since January 18, 2011. The photo lab to make its last stand for Kodachrome was Dwayne's Photo. When Kodak gave Steve McCurry the last roll of Kodachrome off the manufacturing line, Dwayne's Photo was instantly thrown to an international stage as the last lab to process Kodachrome. I would go to say that Kodachrome's legacy is shared with Dwayne's Photo. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the last rolls of Kodachrome to be commercially processed, we invite Derek and Josh Carter, grandsons to Dwayne, and new owners to the multi-generation family business. They share stories of the final days of Kodachrome and discuss the roller coaster ride of the renewed interest in film photography. Dwayne's Photo still processes various formats of film (even Disc) to this day. You can check them out on their website: https://www.dwaynesphoto.com/
