    A Most Unusual Camera (w/Jess Hobbs and Chandler Flanagan)

    Okay, first off, this is *not* a new episode of All Through a Lens. This is also not a new venture.  It was record before we knew the podcast was ending.  This is the first of what was to be some fill-in episodes. We'd then take our normal summer break and then come back with Vania in August. I know it's not the same, but I hope you give it a listen. I personally think it's a good episode with some good information and some fun along the way.   Quick show notes: For today’s show, Eric will be talking about Artificial Intelligence and how it’s both worse and not as bad as it seems. And Jess has got some bad news and good news about Kodak Chemicals. We’ll also be watching “A Most Unusual Camera” - the Twilight Zone episode that asks the question ‘what if a camera wanted you dead?’ We also interview Chandler Flanagan, a film photographer and cyanotype artist (cyanotypist?) who has published a zine with Better Off Press. Most recently, she started Not Your Grandma’s Camera Club, and we’re going to talk to her all about that.   Chander:  @dispositionpictures on IG https://dispositionpictures.net/  Not Your Grandma's Camera Club: @notyourgrandmascameraclub on IG   Jess Hobbs:  IG: @jesshobbsphoto  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JessHobbs   Eric:  IG: @conspiracy.of.cartographers Vania: IG: @surfmartian  Web: https://vaniazask.com/

    The End of the Podcast

    Hello everybody. This is Eric. And I have some pretty bad news for you considering the podcast. As of now the podcast is ending. We are both utterly gutted and heartbroken over this decision. We both loved the podcast so very much. And we love the friends and listeners more than they will probably know. I know for some of you it's just another podcast you listen to. And I get that, I listen to a lot of podcasts myself. But for us it was a colossal part of our lives, and it's absence will leave a gigantic hole. On the technical end of things, patreon has been paused and will shut down in about a month. I will try to keep it going through June, and you will not be charged for June. If there are any discrepancies here or there about any of the payments, contact me and we'll try to work it out. Patreon is very vague about how all of this works. That's very fitting for patreon The main feed will be up indefinitely. The money that we have received from patreon in large part will be going towards keeping it alive for as long as the money is there. It costs, as of now, about $120 a year. I feel the work that we produced was important and meaningful and unique among other photography podcasts. We both want it to be available for as long as possible. We have learned about so many photographers and eras, and did our best to make a show that was as informative as it was entertaining. We hope that you enjoyed it and maybe learned a little something along the way. For both of us, we thank you so much for your support and your love and your friendship over the years. We truly could not have done this without you. We love you. Bye bye. [This writing has been approved by both of us.]

    Dev Party - Cake vs. Pie

    For photos and show notes: allthroughalens.com   On this episode of Dev Party Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) try out some new old ideas! But first, Vania developed a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 220 in C-41 - that's right, 220! And it looks amazing! Eric fell back on the old standby of Fomapan 100 in FA-1027 - in 4x5, of course. He had a bad hike and it shows.   We also answered a few questions about developing, film, and the age old battle of cake vs. pie! Who will win? As for the new stuff, we moved the "answering machine" question to Dev Party! Maybe this will be temporary. But for now, here it is! Bam! And here are some of Vania's photos:     And here are three of Eric's:     PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us! Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.

  6. Disappearing into the Bayou; Esther Bubley (w/ Kristie Cornell & Marla Kristicevich) - Episode 80

    Disappearing into the Bayou; Esther Bubley (w/ Kristie Cornell & Marla Kristicevich) - Episode 80

    Full show notes and photos here: allthroughalens.com And on this episode - the big 8-0! - we are talking to photographer Kristie Cornell (@kccornell on IG) and sculptor Marla Kristicevich (@marla_kristicevich on IG) about a project they collaborated on around Louisiana's Bayou Teche . We’ll also tell you about Esther Bubley, one of Roy Stryker’s photographers who became much more than just one of Roy Stryker’s photographers. There’s also the answering machine and some witty banter!   Kristie Cornell & Marla Kristicevish   Kristie Cornell and Marla Kristicevich collaborated on a project called Meander Mindset that took them down the 124mi length a Bayou Teche, a vital waterway in Louisiana. The project was a combination of photography and sculpture, as well as various other skills - all aboard a small 1970s Boston Whaler.   Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kccornell/albums/72177720300912386   Kristie: www.kristiecornell.com   Marla: marlakristicevich.com         Esther Bubley     Lately, our stories have involved the various and alarming sexual escapades of any number of wriggling photographers. But not today! There’s actually almost nothing known about this photographer’s private life (which means she probably didn’t date Edward Weston!)    Today we are talking about Esther Bubley, a Midwestern photographer who had the ability to essentially disappear into the background and capture people at their most normal and vulnerable - all while making them feel truly seen and understood.    Here are some of her FSA images:     And here are her Assignment images:         Link her her government archives: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=LOT%20939&fi=number&op=PHRASE&va=exact&co!=coll&sg=true&st=gallery   www.esterbubley.com   PATREON   Thank you to everyone who supports us!   Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.

    Dev Party - Stop it With the Vinegar, Okay?

    Photos and  more here: allthroughalens.com On this episode of Dev Party we develop some film and answer some questions submitted by listeners.   Vania (@surfmartian on IG) developed Cinestill 800 in C-41 chemistry. While Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers on IG) developed Kentmere 100 in 510-Pyro.   We covered questions about how to shoot Fomapan (really, how to develop it), what to do with 120 spools, and find out whether a cap of vinegar is acidic enough to turn 500ml of water into a usable stop bath.   Here are Vania's pics:     And here are Eric's - He's comparing Fomapan 100 to Kentmere 100, both shot at the same time with the same camera and same settings. And both devved in 510-Pyro, 1+100 for 7mins and 11.75mins respectively. Foma is on the left and Kentmere is on the right.         PATREON   Thank you to everyone who supports us!   Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.

    Shownotes and photos here: allthroughalens.com   It’s another odd show, and we’re actually changing things up again!

We’ll have our regular banter, but Eric will also tell you a little about the first photos taken of the entire Earth – it’s both earlier and later than you think.
