In a break from our usual programming schedule, this week we have for you the first episode of I Dream of Cameras, a show created for us by Jeff Greenstein and Gabe Sachs, two Hollywood producers who just happen to be avid camera enthusiasts and collectors, talking about their collections and cameras past, and what they mean to them.   Future episodes will be on the Sunny 16 Presents feed, so if you enjoy this, make sure you're subscribed to it!   Acid Trumpet by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3340-acid-trumpet License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

On this weeks show we're delighted to be joined by Shane Balkowitsch, a wet plate collodion photographer who, since making his first plate in 2012 with no prior photographic knowledge, has gone on to create an incredible body of work, taken world famous portraits, and is working on an amazing project to photograph 1000 native Americans.

Got a real treat for you this week, with multi award winning photographer Brian Griffin, one of the most respected and lauded photographers of the 70's and '80's, a photographer who not only managed to make photo's of business leaders into surrealist art, but also shot some of the biggest names in music in the 80's, and is responsible for some iconic record covers.   We had a great chat with Brian, but we only got to scratch the surface of his experiences. Luckily for us all he's currently kickstarting a book documenting his work and life from 1969 to 1990 called "Black Country DADA" so go check that out!   Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/briangriffindada/black-country-dada?ref=profile_created Brian's website: https://www.briangriffin.co.uk/ Instagram:  brian_griffin_photographer Twitter:       @canadawharf Brian's poetry slide show! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMV8eEvX8aI

It's a combo show this week, with Rachel, Clare and Graeme here to first off delve into some splendid listener emails, and then fill you in on some hopefully exciting and quite big (for us) changes coming to how we're going to be going forwards here at Sunny 16 Towers.   We hope you're all on board, and we're incredibly thankful for everyone who's come on the journey with us this far.   Email address for HomeMade camera zine: HMCzine2020@gmail.com   Justin Quinnells Summer School: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/alternative-photography-summer-school-registration-107847362364   Email address for Sunny 16 Presents related correspondence: sunny16presents@gmail.com    

It's a late night Friday ramble with John and Graeme this week where we chat about what we'd do if all constraints on our ability to take pictures were removed, and whether or not it would be a help or a hindrance in producing good pictures.   What conclusions did we arrive at? None really, other than the fact that an being given money to make art sounds pretty great, even if it wouldn't necessarily make for better art.    You've been warned!
