Two Fantastic Radio Shows About Photographers
« on: September 07, 2009, 01:54:02 PM »
From the Public Radio Exchange in the US, comes these fantastic and charming profiles of two very different photographers: John Coffer the tintype guy who has dropped out of modern life to pursue his art & modern rock music photographer, Sam Holden. What they have in common is a love of traditional photographic techniques.

Each piece about 10 minutes long and very much worth your while.

My neighbor Sam!  Good piece :)   I know someone who took John Coffer's workshop in July.  He had an amazing experience and came back with a lot of fabulous work!

Well, when you do run into him for the first time say hi from me  :D Also, a few years ago I was trying to get the 5 of us who founded Filmwasters to meet up at one of John Coffer's workshops...seemed like a great idea (despite the fact that 4 of us don't even live in the USA!!), but we never made it for some reason. Go figure.
