    Stephen Shore: Ways of Seeing

    Stephen Shore is perhaps the greatest living American photographer. For decades, Shore has helped define the possibilities of serious fine art photography, playing a pivotal role in establishing color photography as a legitimate art form. Equally at home with the deliberateness of an 8×10 camera and the immediacy of emerging technologies, from Instagram to drone photography, he has remained relentlessly curious about the medium and its possibilities. It’s an honor to have this conversation with a true living master.

    Book Report: Walker Evans: American Photographs

    Another episode where I fly solo, this time taking a fresh look at Walker Evans’ seminal photo book American Photographs. First published in 1938, the book is widely regarded as a classic—not only for the photographs themselves, but for the enormous influence it has had on the medium of photography and the photobook. I revisit the images, the book, and its creator, all through a 21st-century lens.

    Simulated Memories: An Interview with Lev Manovich

    Since the onset of digital imaging, there has been a distinctive swing toward the analogue "look," whether achieved through true analogue processes or digital simulations. The rise of AI has further muddied the waters, raising questions about what is real and what is simulacrum. I discuss all of this and more with my guest, Lev Manovich. Together, we explore what the future of photographic and artistic image-making may entail.
