Right Eye Dominant – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Excited to welcome Michael Ackerman back to the podcast. We talk all about his return to New York on the eve of his newest book release, appropriately titled "Homesick New York." An inspiring artist shares his process.

My guest for this episode is multi-talented, multi-media artist Martin Venezky. We discuss graphic design, collage and, of course, photography. All of this while pondering the challenges of staying curious as you move through life, and learning new things, no matter how old you are. Really enjoyed this conversation; I hope you do, too.

In this episode, photographer Reuben Radding talks about hitting the streets of New York with his camera and an open mind, chasing moments full of emotion, energy, and human connection. We get into how his photos reflect both the city and his own inner world, and how making art has become a way to close the gap between himself and others.
