Happy New Year everyone! Just a few weeks ago, Dave and Benny set up NorthWestFilmPhoto - a group dedicated to film photography in the north west of England. They are just starting out and have already built a great Discord community and hosted a big photowalk. Our conversation with the NWFP guys has loads of interesting stories and real excitement for something new that is kicking off in glorious (we hope) 2023!!!   NWFP links here!

The return of the Sunnies Awards

Our guest this week is Ellen Rogers - fashion and fine art photographer, lecturer, PhD student and self-confessed photo nerd. Ellen’s clients include Vogue, Vice and plenty of other publications. An immensely enjoyable and far ranging conversation on photography (of course), learning, teaching, mechanical sympathy and much more!   Ellen didn’t mention the Iranian uprising in the podcast but she asks that people keep an eye on the #MahsaAmini hashtag, for ongoing news and to raise awareness of what is happening to the people of Iran as it’s a struggle close to her heart.   Ellen Rogers Instagram: @ellenjanerogers Web: ellenrogers.com   She Hearts Film photowalk coming soon:      

This week we are starting an occasional themed show called Analogue Entrepreneur where we get to talk to people about the business side of their creative work. Who better to start us off than our very own Rachel! Little Vintage Photography

What energises you about photography? Is it people, books, exhibitions, heated discussions about your favourite film stocks? Whatever it is, it’s a glorious thing to get positive energy from a creative endeavour - and that’s what we talk about this week!   Also, we launch the new round of the cheap shots challenge with the theme - Harvest.

You know that moment when your kickstarter completes and all your experienced friends say "now's when the work really begins"? This week we have the honour of luxuriating in that feeling with Dave "Alfie" Faulkner of Alfie Cameras as his rollercoaster continues.

Holy Scones Batman, the Sunny 16 Podcast has only gone and hit episode 300! They said it couldn't be done, or at least they said it shouldn't be done, but then we did it anyway because that's just how we roll.   On this bumper episode Ade, Rach, Clare and Graeme are all here for a catch up, then Matthew Joseph joins us for a trip down memory lane, and as if that wasn't enough/too much we also have a special announcement about a very limited edition Sunny 16 Product!   So you know, a lot.    We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us through, listening, taking part, donating or just sending out positive vibes over the years. It amazes us that we made it this far, and we could not have done it without you.   This show was a bit of a mare to put together, so if it's a little off in places don't yell at me. If I've really screwed the pooch please scream away.     The following music was used for this media project: Music: Honey Bee by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/38
