    Artificial - Long Live Our Robot Overlords

    The continuation of our last chat. Recorded at the Calgary Central Library podcast recording studio. Edited with help from the AI Transcribe function of Adobe Premiere Pro. Brought to you by Alvin and my disdain for any rules, planning, or structure. We'll be sure to ask Chat GPT to give us a script for the next episode.

    As Summer Wanes

    Another long break and another catch up episode. This time Alvin and I find ourselves in the recording booth at the Calgary Central Library. The summer's been busy. And we have put together two conversations for you. This first is just a reflection on... well... a summer of actually making photographs... Imagine that.

  3. What We Talk About When We Talk About Nothing

    What We Talk About When We Talk About Nothing

    What happens when 2 guests can't make it and Alvin and I are left on the mics with no direction? What happens when life prevents a quick post-process turn around? This. This is what happens. We're going to talk about Diane Arbus and Contemporary Calgary. We're going to talk exploitation and purer pursuits. We're going to explore what about Calgary is preventing Dave from taking out his camera. And really we're going to just shoot the shit while we wait for life to throw us a clearer and more focused subject.After a long wait here is another chat for you... next one will have guests and some focus. We hope. If you want to be part of our discussion come join us on Discord (https://discord.gg/XSVzYPku) or just message/review/email!

  4. Fine Art; Commerce; Communism

    Fine Art; Commerce; Communism

    We are joined by Danny Luong award-winning photographer here in Calgary. Just because we can, we focus on what we know about fine art commerce and inevitably about our communist-leaning sense that there's just something off about capitalist speculation in art. And in general. Did we solve free market capitalism? You're f'ing right we did!We have a slow and uneven publishing schedule but we're working together. If you want to be part of our discussion come join us on Discord (https://discord.gg/XSVzYPku) or just message/review/email!Just to add to creepiness: cover art created on Adobe Firefly - AI Generation is a thing.

  5. Grief and Cameras

    03/30/2023

    Grief and Cameras

    David went to Toronto for his grandmother's funeral. As a photographer. Alvin was a photographer for his uncle's funeral a few years back. How does one separate themselves as a process and as a family member. And when our family isn't doing well, are we one or the other first? Or both? This week's episode is the two of us trying to figure that out.If you're interested in becoming part of the conversation or have any personal experiences you wanted to add, you can find us on social media @mvfpodcast; email us mvfpodcast@gmail.com; or look us up on Discord https://discord.gg/yFGkvuSX

  6. No Love Lost w/ new Co-Host: Alvin Paringit

    03/23/2023

    No Love Lost w/ new Co-Host: Alvin Paringit

    So after a long break we're back. This season's goal: bring on co-host Alvin Paringit, build a Discord channel, and just riff on Photography in general. Where do we start? How about the realization that both of us aren't sure we actually LIKE photography in the first place.No sponsors (for now) so let's get into it!If you're still on this channel - thanks for your patience and reach out. We're looking to get people involved through the Discord, joining in as guests on topics and conversations, and just generally shaping a discussion about this medium. You can get in touch with us at mvfpodcast@gmail.com. Alvin's also still on IG @loupe.fiasco

  8. Soloman Chiniquay - Giving Back with Photography - Part 2

    07/02/2021

    Soloman Chiniquay - Giving Back with Photography - Part 2

    This week's guest is Soloman Chiniquay documentarian photographer, film maker, and as I'm about to learn, a very wise young man. He lets me into his experiences growing up in a reserve in Morley and how hard it was to get out and build himself as an artist. He had great role models in his mother and grandfather which is reflected in his work to bring his experiences and successes back to his people at home.***My View Finder is proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network: Locally Grown, Community Supported.
