In this episode I had a great time talking with my friend Roxanna Angles about her perspectives on creativity and its impact on our lives. During COVID, Roxanne put together a book about mindfulness and photography based on her experiences in leading a film photography club at schools she has worked at as a counselor. She talks about her observations on how photography impacts young lives at an awkward time along with how it helps feed her own soul.

Roxanna is @roxannalog on IG and Lomography.

In this episode, I was happy to be joined by Jessica Chriesman, the Director of Education and Outreach for Sidewalk Cinema and MAP Fellow. We talked about storytelling and how humans craft narratives to make sense of their world. She shared her approach to documentary filmmaking and her perspectives on the film festival experience. We also talked about the Book and Film club she organizes and about creativity.

In this episode of On Location, several film photography podcasters who are located generally in the southeast United States gathered to discuss a film photography weekend event they have been planning. There will be multiple events, but it will all start with a photowalk at the Tennessee Aquarium at 10:00 am on Saturday the 9th of August and they would love for as many film photographers as possible to attend.
