"In each place I have travelled, I have used my camera as an extension of my memory." -- Teju Cole
"In photography and in life, always look for the light, if you don’t see it, bring it." John Waire
In this episode, Antonio records from Brooklyn for the last time before his big move to Nebraska. It’s a reflective and unscripted conversation, touching on the chaos of packing, the emotional weight of leaving, and a perfectly timed rainbow that showed up outside his window. He and Ward talk about the kind of weather that begs to be photographed and how certain visual moments trigger memories of past images—like Ernst Haas’ dramatic skies. Antonio also shares how instant photography is playing a bigger role in his life lately, especially with the Polaroid and Instax cameras he’s bringing on the road trip west.
Ward recounts how he unexpectedly became the unofficial wedding photographer at a recent event, armed only with a Fuji XS20 and a 23mm lens. What was supposed to be a casual favor turned into a full-on assignment, and he reflects on how his street photography instincts kicked in to help him adapt. They also talk about the overlap between documentary and wedding photography, the influence of photographers like Kevin Mullins and Mel DiGiacomo, and how shooting in a “real life” environment brings out surprising results. There’s also a bit of Fujifilm gear talk, some thoughts on photo printing with Polaroid’s phone-based printer, and the occasional side trip into DIY diffuser hacks using deli containers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
