Sunny 16 Podcast

It's a splendid (and lots of fun) Cheap Shots judging round this week, and John and Graeme were lucky enough to be joined by the sublime Lucy Ridges who took on judging duties.

Clare, John and Graeme catch up for a chat about what they've been up to over the last week, including darkroom printing with paint brushes, some Super 8 chat and building a bad camera by taking a good camera apart. 

It's a combo show this week, with Rachel, Clare and Graeme here to first off delve into some splendid listener emails, and then fill you in on some hopefully exciting and quite big (for us) changes coming to how we're going to be going forwards here at Sunny 16 Towers.

We hope you're all on board, and we're incredibly thankful for everyone who's come on the journey with us this far.

It's a late night Friday ramble with John and Graeme this week where we chat about what we'd do if all constraints on our ability to take pictures were removed, and whether or not it would be a help or a hindrance in producing good pictures.

What conclusions did we arrive at? None really, other than the fact that an being given money to make art sounds pretty great, even if it wouldn't necessarily make for better art. 

You've been warned!

This week John Whitmore joins Graeme for some emails, some cheap shots challenge pictures and some terrible puns, and a good time is had by, if not all, the hosts at least.
