In this episode, I chat with Jess Jones about pull-apart film, cyanotypes and printing our work. We talked about how we sometimes move on from our hobbies, the ups and downs of monetizing our creative output and about style. We talk about the film community whatever that means. We also covered photowalks, how travel and music may inspire our work and how creative gives us an outlet but also feeds back into us.

In this episode I was grateful to have Bill Thoo chat with me about capturing the Milky Way on film, trichrome firework images, the impact of travel and collaboration on creativity and embracing new outlets. Though formally trained and working in the sciences, Bill is a thoughtful and supportive creative and it was a pleasure to hear his perspectives on these topics.

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.
