All Through a Lens: A Podcast About Film Photography
Arts:Visual Arts
Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) get a bit chatty talking about a catastrophic failure and surf photography. Also roller derby with Karen Freer (@fillingthetime). Zine reviews, listeners call-ins, and maybe a short rant.

After a bit of chit-chat, Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) dig into a pretty major failure concerning Eric’s Nez Perce Trail large format project. The project took him through four states and nearly 2,000 miles. And after 80 shots, almost all of them were badly damaged. But why? How did this happen?
Without pointing fingers, we talk about the project, the original plans, the disaster and finally what to do to recover. Sad Eric.
With that out of our system, we turn to the answering machine and a question with a few more shades of gray than we figured. What did we lose in action and sports photography in the switch over to digital.
These brave souls attempted to tackle this (sort of): @elgatomagnifico, @kollimatorn and @space_critter. We also add our two bits, with Vania and Eric giving it a shot themselves. We try to be fair and nice.
We then roll on to roller derby. Eric has been a fan of women's flat track roller derby for years. A quick introduction takes us to a call with Karen Freer -- (@fillingthetime) a derby photographer from the UK who is in the middle of making the switch from digital to film. We talk derby, zines, and high speed emulsion.
In the last bit of the show, Vania talks about her surf photography . Eric is clueless, but plays along. David Lee Roth is mentioned. Being a surfer helps her along the way. But she doesn’t just sit on the beach with a long lens, she’s on a board, surfing while shooting. Eric is pretty impressed.
She also talks parking lots, diving, and uses words like: lineup, beach breaks, point breaks and cool surf things. Also buckets.
Onto three zine reviews, including Crude Zine (@crude.zine), Urbanism -- (@jayabhat), and 4xFourtography -- (@4xfourtography). And remember, we love to trade our own zines for yours! Contact us!
We leave with the question inspired by Eric’s fiasco: What was your biggest film photography failure and how did you overcome it?
After a brief fluff piece on the whole 120mm vs. 120 film nonsense, we sign off till next time.
Thanks for reading/listening!
