Saul Leiter: A Subtle Complexity
Saul Leiter was a photographer who captured subtle, quiet moments among the cacophony of New York City from the 1940s through the early 2000s. His color work in particular, is a treasure trove which is currently coming to light. For this episode, I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with Michael Parillo and Margit Erb, who run the Saul Leiter Foundation.

Kate Palmer Albers: The Ephemeral Image
My guest on this episode is writer and professor Kate Palmer Albers, whose recent book "The Night Albums" explores the impermanence in photographic images; both intentional and unintended. A major shift in how we can think about the life of a photograph, and our own existence as well.

Tony Chirinos: On The Precipice
An engaging conversation with Miami-based photographer Tony Chirinos. We discuss his photo book "The Precipice" which deals with hospital operating rooms, surgical tools, and hospital morgues. Not as macabre as it sounds, this discussion goes deep into the "theater" of life and death.
