This is your opportunity to view experience Wayne's amazing photography first hand. Having a show like this is the dream of many photographers, so this show is mostly dedicated to a discussion of what goes into making a show like this happen. Wayne discusses how he selected the prints to be included, what prints needed re-printing, what are the important details of matting and framing the prints, the sequencing and arranging of the prints, and the arriving at a price for each print. There is more involved with the process that you can imgagine. The show wraps up with some listener email and recognition of listeners who have supported the show financially. Thank you!

    Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #88: It's Hip to Be Square

    The Shutter Brothers are back with a big surprise! Wayne is shooing a 6x6 cm twin lens reflex camera ("I never thought it would happen," said an astonished Kevin).

So, the Shutter Bros. discuss TLRs (Kevin's is a Rolleicord Va) and how to shoot and print square images. Nest, Wayne and Kevin take on the why and how of making contact proof sheets and how they can help make darkroom printing easier. Also, there's listener email and thoughts about our next Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers.  For the first time ever, we are giving our listeners a chance to support the podcast financially as a way to defray production and hosting costs.

    Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #87: Slow or Fast, It's All About the Print

    The Shutter Brothers are back in 2026 and ready to make a show about the joy of darkroom printing. So, after a morning printing session at the new Safelight District Community Darkroom, Wayne and Kevin are ready to share tips on how to make more and better prints from your negatives. Along the way they discuss different approaches to making test strips, which can not only save time and money, but also help get the best image on paper. Also, in response to a listener question, Wayne explains how split grade printing can be used to dial in the right amount of exposure in both highlight and shadow areas. Meanwhile, Kevin is interested in a different sort of printing:  Poloaroid instant photography. He recently tried to use his beloved SX-70 SONNAR One Step for some holiday fun, but he could not find his neutral density filter that enables him to shoot Polaroid 600 film instead of the SX-70 film the camera was build to use. And while Tori Fyth Elliot, the owner of Safelight District Community Darkroom, was able to save the day by loaning Kevin a Polaroid 600 camera to use, Kevin is giving serious thought to having his SX-70 SONNAR serviced and modified to natively shoot 600 film. Listen to the show to hear all the advantages of this. It's a new year, and Wayne and Kevin are already thinking about the 5th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers. If you live in the southeastern Unitted States and would like to suggest a location for this year's photowalk, send them to us at unclejonesyscameras@gmail.com. Happy Photography!

    Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #82: Triptych the Light Fantastic

    After an early summer break, Wayne and Kevin have film to develop, prints to make, and project to pursue. Kevin's project has been making contact print triptychs using one of the cheapest new cameras availbable today, the "Plastic Filmtastic" Debonair 120 from the Film Photography Store. This $20 camera often gets compared with the legandary Holga, but it is not the same camera. While the Debonair also has a plastic lens, Kevin believes that it makes better photographs than the Holga while still producing vintage vignetting effects. However, what really separates the Debonair from the Holga is that the Debonair makes 6x4.5cm rectangle images (as opposed to the Holga's 6x6cm square images). Inspired by Wayne's idea of using his Fuji GS645 camera as a medium format 'half-frame' camera, Kevin began photography old business signs with his Debonair with an eye toward contact printing three images on a singel 4x6 postcard. It's still in the 'proof-of-concept' stage, but the possibilities are real indeed! Meahwhile, Wayne empties out the UJC mailbag and reads some great listener feedback. And finally, the Shutter Brothers discuss the Great Film Photo Meetup Chattanooga, which happens on Saturday and Sunday, August 9-10. Happy Photography!
