Welcome to the Foto Podcast!
In this episode, I delve into the world of large-format photography with the talented Kate Miller-Wilson, whose captivating work predominantly revolves around her close-knit family in Minnesota. Kate embraces the beauty of imperfection, exploring the power and vulnerability that lies within the flaws of her images, a departure from the pixel-perfect precision often sought in digital photography. We discuss her self-portraits and the empowerment in controlling one's representation. Kate also sheds light on the journey she’s shared with her son creating a deeper connection between them through the experiences of his autism and her photography.

Welcome to part three of our series with renowned photographer Richard Sharum.
As someone deeply rooted in the study of history, especially the tumultuous Civil War era, Richard showcases an intense drive to understand the divisions that plague modern America. He discusses his transformative journey to unravel the mystery of the Central United States, an area often dismissively labeled "flyover country." This stretch of land, primarily covering states like Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, has, for many, become a blind spot—overshadowed politically, socially, and culturally.
Motivated by global perceptions, historical events, and, notably, the shocking Capitol storming on January 6th, Richard embarked on a mission to capture the heart and soul of these regions, free from the constraints of political bias. His project, "Spina Americana" (Latin for "American Spine"), sees him traverse a 100-mile wide corridor stretching from the US-Mexico border to the US-Canadian border. Through his lens, Richard hopes to offer a fresh perspective, allowing the world to see the people of this region as they genuinely are—diverse, complex, and unequivocally American.
Join us in this compelling episode as Richard shares anecdotes from his travels, his approach to spontaneous photography, and his undying passion for discovering the hidden depths of his homeland. Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a history buff, or someone seeking to understand the multifaceted narrative of America, this episode promises enlightening insights and thought-provoking conversations.
