Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks show Ade, Clare and a random frog catch up for a chat about the weeks activities and a discussion about printing practices, both darkroom based and using a printer. 

This week Clare and John chat with Max from Intrepid cameras about their Kickstarter campaign for the new 35mm and 120 enlarger they have created. From the early days of their first 4x5 camera to the range of cameras and accessories that are now available, Max talks us through what goes into designing and manufacturing the equipment that is helping ensure a tangible future for analogue photography.

John and Graeme return with another sack of listener emails, cheap shot challenge entries and general chatter

On this weeks show it feels like we've gone full Cher and and turned back time, because it's Ade and Graeme talking to our old friend, Simon Riddell! Simon joins us to talk about his struggles over the last 12 months, and how wet plate photography not only gave him a means of coping with these difficult times, but ended up being far more important as a tool for mental wellbeing both for himself and others.   As the subject matter is a little heavier than usual, and Simon says shit an awful lot, this may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive listeners.   You can see the work we talk about here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentalcollodion/ Or  here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LSyKiwiy6elj4_8W67FMZOFSlw1n--X-?usp=sharing  

On this weeks episode Clare and Graeme are joined by Nikki Culley, a fantastic photographer and printer from Manchester to talk about the work she's been creating over the last year, experimenting with Ortho film and a rough developing process, and then taking these unique, marked and  negatives and making painstakingly crafted beautiful, moody prints from them.   You can find Nikki's work here: http://www.nikkiculley.com/ And Nikki is on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikkiculleydarkroom/?hl=en-gb https://www.instagram.com/nikkiculleyphoto/?hl=en-gb

On this weeks show we try to put our newly inspired good planning habits to practice and have a carefully prepared for 1 Hour Shoot!   Sadly, no amount of planning can keep away the lurgy, which struck down both Clare and Rachel, but luckily John and Graeme were joined by three awesome listeners; John-Micheal Mendizza, Billy Sanford and Nick Marshall, who all took part in the challenge as well. And even though Clare couldn't be with us on the night, the next night she gave it a go and recorded some audio for the show!   You can find the work of this weeks guests: https://www.instagram.com/jmmendizza/ https://www.instagram.com/bsanfordjr/ https://www.instagram.com/monodistortion/ https://www.instagram.com/thedarkshed/ https://www.instagram.com/myopic_me/ https://www.instagram.com/claremariebailey/
