#39 SHOW NEWS! & PHOTO MEDITATION
Welcome to Tuesday’s show and today I have a special announcement about new weekend documentary style editions coming, plus I’m going to share more about the direction this podcast is about to excitedly take.
I’m doing that with the help of two photographers and creators I very much admire, and that, off the back of talking to an American legend yesterday in episode 38.
Jack Lowe talks about that thing we all have from time to time as photographers and creatives; mission fatigue - and the outlandishly talented photographer Paul Sanders who is the first of our new weekend edition guests this Saturday (episode 43) talks about the meditative effects of being a photographer.
Also today, my experiences podcasting; the two titles that I am passionate about, The FujiCast with its light entertainment feel and niche within niche approach and then this newer bold daily project, Photography Daily. I say bold because there are not many titles I genuinely know about in the podcast sphere that talk about photography, daily.
Photography Daily was launched on the back of a daily FujiCast show, which with my co-host Kevin Mullins had gone daily to talk with communities of photographers during various lockdowns around the world. There’s no doubt from the electronic mailbag that many photographers, professional and amateur had suddenly found the rug pulled from beneath their feet. For every project I saw of lockdown life at home, there were many photographers who simply put their cameras and lenses in storage and resigned themselves to sit out a storm.
Closing the daily nature of that cast at the end of May and returning it to its pre-lockdown status of weekly Monday releases, left I felt, an opportunity to release this show. And now a month in, with an established feel and format, I’m ready to push the title ever forwards introducing a new weekend membership area for deeper dive features and documentaries.
Rest assured the free Photograph Daily show Monday to Friday will remain and with your support of the arts, that too will be expanded eventually. I look forward to spending many more hours with you as your photography companion discussing the stories we tell and pictures we make as photographers. (Neale James)
