So - I don’t really do deep dive explorations of camera gear here, there are plenty of people doing that on YouTube, especially for Leica cameras and accessories. I’ve been using the Leica M camera system on and off for about 30 years, so it is a photographic tool I know quite well. Leica is celebrating their 100th Anniversary in 2025, and the M turned 70 years old last years, I thought I’d talk about the actual experience of using...
This episode comes on a very heavy week (aren’t they all heavy these days?) and I’m under the Queensboro Bridge thinking about creative motivation because I saw someone pissing against a trashcan as I was walking my kid to camp this morning. No, really! If you’re bummed out, pissed off, depressed, can’t bother to create - give this one a listen, it might make you feel better.
Thanks for listening and if you have any comments or tho...
Hello again! In this episode I discuss choosing the more difficult option creatively - and then finding out what the up and downsides of that are, with the backdrop of the absolutely wonderful 2025 Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
This episode is kind of gear oriented, but not the typical YouTube style fetish crap. If you’re curious about TLR cameras, medium format photography, drug-addled opossums, monks hitting themselves in the head...
Welcome to episode six of Under The Bridge, recorded on June 18th under the Queensboro Bridge, the day after I attended the Bild expo at the Javitz Center - which organizer B&H Photo calls “NYC’s largest gathering of video/photo storytellers”. In this episode, you’ll hear about:
* The last thoughts that will rush through my mind as I am dying
* And of course, the Bild expo
There’s a short cli...
Happy Father’s Day 2025! OK first off: this episode was NOT recorded under a bridge, it was recorded under a boardwalk - and on a boardwalk - at Coney Island, on June 14th, which was just crappy, cold rainy day. Hardly anyone was out. I knew this before I even got on the Q train - but I wanted to get some photos of the Coney Island Sideshow (the photo above was taken on a much nicer day in Coney!) This episode isn’t really about an...
In this episode, I talk about Dave Chappelle (thought he did the bit in DC, it was actually Detroit), Fan Ho, Evel Knievel, The Girl In The Coffee Shop Window, and Colon Blow. And believe it or not, this all has something to do with photography. Recorded as per usual, under a bridge (this time the Queensboro Bridge), with no edits, audio verite.

What is visual signature and why is it important for photographers, or really any creative, to make the pursuit of visual signature a maxim? Join me in the latest episode of my unedited audio chats recorded beneath the Manhattan Bridge in NYC for some fragmented thoughts and foul language about the ultimate goal for any artist.
