This weeks episode is all about the enigma that was Vivian Maier. She was a nanny and a carer for 40 years working in Chicago's north shore, However just before she died her photography was discovered by a collector John  Maloof in an auction, What he discovered was a major contribution  to the world of street photography - A photographer, filmmaker and audio interview creator who never shared her work - In this episode I look at the woman and her possible motives.  This episode is best enjoyed with a nice cup of tea by the fire

Vivian Maier

In this second episode, I take a look at 'The Americans' and Robert Frank a photographer who travelled across America for two years and took 28000 images  ' He sucked a sad poem out of America' The book that followed was a critique of American society - Images of empty diners, glitz and dismay - A tragic vision of The American Dream. Frank passed away this year and I felt it was important to recognise the impact his work had on photography - A photographer who definitely did not care for the rules.

Let's be Frank!

In this first episode of Random Ramblings on photography I start at the beginning, Well it seemed like a good place to start. We take a look at how photography came into existence. It's foreshadowing with the camera obscura and the Old masters who dabbled with that pre-photography camera and how it changed what they created in the subtlest of ways.  we skip on to Daguerre, Niépce and Talbot.    This episode is an ideal companion to a nice cup of tea.

Necessity is the mother of invention

Join me for my random ramblings on photography. It's just a casual podcast, where I will take on some interesting Photography topics with little or no rhyme or reason and definitely no set destination. There will be No top tips, No Gear reviews and some may say no point but I do promise Great topics and the occasional bit of nonsense so why not - You can eat sandwiches and drink tea as you listen.
