For the next four weeks, in addition to the regular Sunday episode, I’ll be dropping a special episode with interviews from a recent event I attended. Leica invited me to their centenary celebrations at the end of June, they were celebrating 100 years on continuous camera manufacture and they invited a few of their closest friends to attend and celebrate with them. I was invited to interview a number of special guests and so I’m going to present to you four twenty-five minute episodes. 100 minutes for 100 years. More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Prime Lenses Episode 72 - Marcus Haslam
Marcus Haslam is a photographer from the south of England who has retraced his roots in the north to make pictures of his hometown. Blackpool has changed a lot over the years and you’ll hear about his motivation to make the project, what he found and what he’s doing with the images now that he has them. It was wonderful to catch up with a friend and former colleague.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

Leica 100 Special Episode 3
This is the third episode in a special series of interviews from a recent event I attended. This episode features my conversation with Inas Fayed and Sarah M. Lee.

Prime Lenses Episode 71 - Scott Toepfer
Scott Toepfer is part of a proud tradition of folks who drop out of what they were doing to drop in on their calling. He has worked as a microbiologist, photographer, producer, director, I’d say triple threat but I’m not sure that covers it all. I first discovered him through his 2011 book It’s better in the Wind. The book accompanied a short film and when I started the podcast I realised I should try to combine stuff I love, cameras and motorcycles, into one guest. This is a classic prime lenses chat. It goes places and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

A camera is just a tool, but spend enough time with photographers, and you’ll see them go misty-eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small, fast prime that they had in their youth.
