Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks show Ade chats with the rest of the gang about his new endeavors in photo journaling, why he started and what benefits the practice is bringing him.

On this weeks episode, friend of the show Ruth Folkard returns to the podcast to chat with Ade, Rach and Clare about the upcoming Photography Show at the NEC, and more importantly the Analogue Showcase, which promises to be an even more film fun packed space than last year, hope we'll see you all there!   Show info and tickets here: https://www.photographyshow.com/ https://www.photographyshow.com/talks-demos-masterclasses?&filters.STREAM=analogue-showcase Use offer code SUNTPS22 to get a 20% discount on advanced entry adult tickets

It's Jeff week here at Sunny 16 Towers (which is coincidentally Jeff's nickname) after the I Dream Of Cameras star (co-star) made a flash trip to the UK to buy a fancy camera, drink some fancy beer in the sun with Ade, make prints and drink pints with Rachel, visit burial grounds and television sets and probably drink who knows what with Clare, and drink Lemonade and get shown the way out by Graeme - what a week! Is Jeff as nice as he comes across in his podcast? Is the Xpan the answer to all of life's questions? Does Gabe just not like us enough to travel half way around the world? Some of these questions will be answered, some you can figure out for yourselves, only on Jeff Week here at Sunny 16!   Title for this show provided by Ade. Alternative titles included "Jeffs-on-an Airplane". "Four Welcomes and a Fuji-clone" and "The Perils of Poor Impulse Control"    

Almost every year there comes that special episode where it's just too darned hot for human beings brains to function well, and that's when we like to record. On this years Hot Mess special we're also joined by Emma Lloyd and Alex Heron, CEO's of the new Grainsplaining podcast, coming to Sunny 16 Presents any day now...    https://www.instagram.com/grainsplaining/ https://www.instagram.com/emmajlloyd_/ https://www.instagram.com/her.on.shoots/     Rachel Brewster-Wright: For people who aren't sure where I am: on Instagram: @littlevintagephotography on Twitter: @VintagePhotoCo  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/love-liverpool-pride-analogue-photography-exhibition-pop-up-darkroom-tickets-379327598057
