Video Podcast 04: Beating the Slump – November 2010
The fourth video podcast from the Filmwasters features a slump-busting trip to Northern France as our intrepid contributor overcomes her fear of photographing strangers in the street. There’s a tutorial on how to load two rolls of 120 film onto a single developer reel and we finish off with a look back at our trip earlier this year to London’s annual Photographica camera fair.
Featuring Ailsa McWhinnie, Ed Wenn, Leon Taylor & the Photographica crew.
N.B. For whatever reason the video and audio quality of this episode aren’t as good as previous podcasts. Apologies for that. Must do better next time.

In what must qualify as our first ‘serious’ podcast, Ed is joined by Matt Wells from AG Photographic & Bath-based photographer, Phil Bebbington, for the first of 2 podcasts. This episode focuses almost entirely on Matt’s thoughts and experiences from working in the photo retail industry. He’s knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the future of film. Ed & Phil supply the background colour. The next episode will profile Phil and his work and continue the debate about the future of film.

No commentsEpisode 14: We’ve Been Bad, But We’re Back, Part 2 – April 2010
Ed, Leon, Damion & Ailsa wrap up the Filmwasters’ return to podcasting after an absence of 8 months with part two of We’ve Been Bad, But We’re Back. This final instalment brings you a discussion of the recent Lillian Bassman exhibition in London, speculation that there may finally be a cool-looking digital camera on the market and the revelation that some of Ailsa’s friends leave her voicemails after having sex. Because we were a bit light on content for this episode, we contacted The Other Side and asked Arthur Fellig (aka Weegee), Ed’s spiritual guide through the world of photography to chip in from time to time with some anecdotes from way back in the day.
