"In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration."
-- Ansel Adams
"My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation."
-- Abbas Attar
The episode kicks off with a discussion about renowned photographer Larry Fink, whose recent passing left Antonio and Ward with a sense of regret for not exploring his extensive body of work earlier. They delve into Fink's distinctive photography style characterized by dramatic flashes and striking compositions, sparking their curiosity to explore his book "The Vanities" and his contributions to the field.
Transitioning to the tech side of photography, the Antonio examines Sony's new camera, the a9 III, capable of capturing a remarkable 120 frames per second. Antonio raises practical concerns about its utility for most photographers, including storage and editing challenges, while Ward sees potential in specific scenarios like sports photography. Their discussion highlights the ongoing push for technological advancements in cameras.
The central theme of this episode revolves around "Photomancy," a novel concept (and new word!) Antonio introduced. Inspired by the ancient Chinese spiritual book, the I Ching, it involves using one's photo library for self-reflection and inspiration. Antonio shares his experience of posing a profound question related to his creative self, selecting a random photo from his collection, and exploring the emotions and memories it evoked. Ward is intrigued by the possibilities, particularly when dealing with emotionally charged subjects and future photography projects.
In conclusion, Antonio and Ward express their excitement about continuing their Photomancy journey, emphasizing that photography is not merely about capturing images but also a path to self-discovery and personal growth.
