    “Good photography strikes the heart of the beholder and leaves him changed.” — Irving Penn

    Jan Schlegel often quotes the statement above, and the sentiment is at the heart of his work. Jan is a master photographer and printer whose extended travels over decades as a photographer have led to series of art prints which capture the essence of people and animals in remarkable ways. He has spent literally years perfecting each process in his repertoire, from silver gelatin to platinum to salt printing.

  • Ep. 9: A Mobile Darkroom Project
    May 4 2023

    Bryan Ciminelli is a high school art teacher in New York. He and his students are sharing their passion for film photography by demonstrating darkroom techniques in a unique way — a mobile darkroom! With a small budget but a lot of enthusiasm and creativity, Bryan built a safe, foldable darkroom enclosure with 3 square meters (32 sq feet) of workspace and a red, see-through window for curious observers. This has helped spread an interest in film photography beyond the walls of the school. Bryan shared his love of analog workflows and the joys of working with teenagers who are experiencing film as a means of self-expression as well as a valuable part of their curriculum.

  • Ep. 8: Kodak Super 8 — The Immortal Format
    Apr 20 2023

    Super 8 has been declared dead time and again since its birth in the mid-60s. Despite all the obituaries, it has survived countless analog and digital video formats. Much more, it is the format for creative filmmakers worldwide.

    Today we discuss with Holger C. Schwaerzel the Worldwide Product Manager / Super8 at Eastman Kodak Company about this wonderful almost immortal film format. Holger has been with Kodak since 1997, and after the company’s realignment, he was specifically entrusted with the mission of pushing analog motion picture film in Super8. Currently, no one should have more insight into the current worldwide status of this wonderful format than him. Looking forward to a really great talk with a real insider where the topic of Super8 as format is been discussed!
