Extremely honored to host Magnum photographer Jim Goldberg for the kick off for season 4! Jim is well known for his unique visual approach, combining photographs with written word, collage and more. Whether it's in book form, or on a gallery wall, Goldberg's work is both personal and universal. From "Raised by Wolves" to "Coming and Going" Jim and I discuss the breadth of his work and his life.

The guest for the final episode of season three really needs no introduction. I was thrilled to welcome Joel Meyerowitz to the podcast. We talked about his work, his life, his curiosity and his ongoing passion for the medium of photography. A true master and living legend. What an honor to have him as my guest.

Happy to welcome Boris Eldagsen to the podcast! Boris is at the bleeding edge where technology and fine art meet. He is a photographic artist and "promptographer" who incorporates A.I. into his creative workflow. We discuss the ins and the outs, the good, the bad and the ugly of this new frontier. Guess what, the sky isn't falling! A provocative discussion.

Arthur Tress has been a prolific photographer since the mid 1960s. Though he may have flown under the radar when compared to some of his contemporaries, a new retrospective at The Getty Center in Los Angeles aims to change that. I had the pleasure of discussing the "new to me" work of Tress with The Getty's Senior Curator of Photographs, Jim Ganz.

Danny Clinch was born "down the shore" in New Jersey. From humble beginnings, he ascended the ladder of rock and roll photography to become one of the top shooters in the world of music. He's photographed everyone from Johnny Cash to Tupac; the Beastie Boys to "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen. This conversation has tons of Jersey references, but you don't gotta be from the Garden State to enjoy!

An encore presentation celebrating the life of Joan Liftin, who passed away earlier this year.  We had a wonderful conversation back in season one.  Sharing this as the dust settles from my recent trip to Paris Photo 2023.

Joan Liftin had an illustrious career in photography. Besides being a photographer with three monographs under her belt, Joan spent many years as a teacher at the ICP and a photo editor at the esteemed Magnum Photos. Plus, she was married to photographer Charles Harbutt. I really enjoyed this conversation, I hope you do, too.
