Classic lenses podcast #17 with Vlad Kern: https://www.podbean.com/site/EpisodeDownload/PBA601F88P7C8  

On this weeks show we're joined by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Greenstein, the two utterly delightful hosts of the camera collecting podcast "I dream of cameras", as well as being writers and producers of some of the most iconic shows in Hollywood, but really, who cares about that when there's cameras to talk about.

The conversation goes all over the place, as you might expect, but it was a real good time, and as well as listening you can also watch the show on YouTube, which is well worth your time as John was doing some incredible real time producing of his own so there's plenty to see going on.

John and Graeme return with another sack of listener emails, cheap shot challenge entries and general chatter

On this weeks show it feels like we've gone full Cher and and turned back time, because it's Ade and Graeme talking to our old friend, Simon Riddell!

Simon joins us to talk about his struggles over the last 12 months, and how wet plate photography not only gave him a means of coping with these difficult times, but ended up being far more important as a tool for mental wellbeing both for himself and others.

As the subject matter is a little heavier than usual, and Simon says shit an awful lot, this may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive listeners.

On this weeks episode Clare and Graeme are joined by Nikki Culley, a fantastic photographer and printer from Manchester to talk about the work she's been creating over the last year, experimenting with Ortho film and a rough developing process, and then taking these unique, marked and  negatives and making painstakingly crafted beautiful, moody prints from them.

John and Graeme are back for another Sunny 16 Extra, this time catching up with two of our favorite people Michelle Parr and Matt Parry from Harman Technology - the company who make all the Ilford Photo things we know and love. 

We talk about the last 12 months and how it affected the supply of Ilford stock, how the recently released Ortho film is doing, and of course the new Ilford Multigrade RC Portfolio paper.

This week we are joined by the pinnacle of 80s pop bands, The Bangles! errr...nope that's not right, but it is the equally inspirational, Dan Bassini.

Talking about his lockdown project that led him to producing 'Cruel Summer', an exploration of his local area and a solo road trip around New England. Using the same compact cameras and his vast experience that he usually applies to creating 'No Invite', a series of photozines about the New York fashion week.
