2022/02/11

It was very nice to share some time with @ashleysenja tonight on the chat. We talked about how she got started with photography, her time at Nikon, and what inspires her. Her cat Sir Theodore graced us with his majestic presence. We got into a really interesting conversation about fatness and how that plays in her work. That conversation spun into the perception of fat people in society and how there needs to be more empowerment for fat people so we can work towards dismantling the stigma. I talked

Jamie is a really interesting dude. Hailing from East Texas we talked about how Spike Jonze influenced him to get into photography.

He is also planning on building a community darkroom in his tiny town so stay tuned for more on that. Thanks,

Photography Chat with Merlin ·

2021/12/03

Tim Ryugo is an absolute legend and such a sweet human. It was a blast chatting with Tim about how he got started in the film industry 40 odd years ago and what his journey has been like to the present day. He got to talking about giving back to the community and it choked him up a bit which was honestly beautiful to see someone that has so much passion and is so open to sharing their knowledge with people. Really looking forward to chatting with Tim more in the future, and if you’re looking for

Photography Chat with Merlin ·

2021/11/26

This guy, Chris Koehn is a man of many talents and a few of them involve cameras of various kinds. We've known each other since the early 2000's when we both worked in a call center asking people if they turned it off and then back on again. Then we ended up at a computer store in Vancouver where he had to apologize to Sluggo Boyce because our idiot techs deleted all his internets. He's worked in news media, makes wicked awesome photos, and is an excellent road trip pal. He recently

Oh man, Mike and I got into some interesting chats tonight. We meandered all over the place from conspiracies theories, food, and different topics around technology availability and the ethics of tech. But every time we wandered we were able to bring it back to a photography-related thing. It was so great chatting with Mike and I can’t wait to catch up with him someday soon to grab a burger!Mike is equal parts photographer, designer, and gear nerd, lover of film and all things analog, living in

With love from Lubbock, I mean Denton. If you don’t get it we’ll you’ll just have to watch the episode. Zane is awesome and it was so good chatting it out with him. We got really nerdy about Polaroid, like deeply nerdy. I don’t think we’ve ever gone that deep on the chat before. Talked about the love of mechanical cameras and some of the projects Zane is mulling. We talked about his involvement with the Open SX70 Project and some of the awesome contributions he’s made to the project. And then we

I ended up taking a little trip down memory lane chatting with Morgan. Talking about Cranbrook and the Kootenays brought up some old memories. We talked a lot about live music and what it was like being in the scene in Vancouver in the early 2000s. He also shared with us his experience in starting up his own photography business and his experiences with neurodiversity.

2021/09/24

I appreciate Jeremy as a friend because he has always challenged me to think different and see the world around me differently. I think tonight’s chat was more like a public version of the chats he and I would have over a beer at Eddie's in Kensington Market or while having pho on Ossington. We talked about his Paste Platz project and he elaborated on the work that went into putting it together and how he gave different artists a voice. We talked about the value of wheat paste and the importance

The chat with Han has been one of my most interesting to date. It was rad getting to know her more and hear about what her experience with photography has been and what her experience in the regular world is like.
