    ENCORE: Joan Liftin: A Life In Photography

    ENCORE: Joan Liftin: A Life In Photography

    An encore presentation celebrating the life of Joan Liftin, who passed away earlier this year.  We had a wonderful conversation back in season one.  Sharing this as the dust settles from my recent trip to Paris Photo 2023.

    Joan Liftin had an illustrious career in photography. Besides being a photographer with three monographs under her belt, Joan spent many years as a teacher at the ICP and a photo editor at the esteemed Magnum Photos. Plus, she was married to photographer Charles Harbutt. I really enjoyed this conversation, I hope you do, too.

    Brian Griffin: Heaven Up Here

    Brian Griffin: Heaven Up Here

    Legendary British photographer Brian Griffin joins me for an enjoyable chat about his career, especially his music / album cover work with such luminaries as Depeche Mode and Echo & The Bunnymen. My music geekery comes out in full force on this one; it brings back fond memories of hours spent listing to my vinyl albums back in 1980s New Jersey! What an honor to speak with a living legend of music photography.

A Perceptive Take on Different Photographers

Intelligent and inspiring

I really love this podcast. Nick Tauro Jr. brings an insightful perspective to other photographers and their work, personal interviews with his guests and shares his personal approach to his art. Always an interesting listen.

About the paintings and painters, not about the brushes

A really nice podcast about photographs and photographers and the process of art making in this medium, not about the tools used. Nick has depth and insight, a relatable and easygoing manner, and clearly a love for art.
