"There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described." -- Garry Winogrand
"When someone becomes aware of the camera, it becomes a different picture." -- Robert Frank
In this episode, Ward shares his experiments with nighttime flash—slides, jackrabbits, and all the odd magic that comes with it—while Antonio talks about trying the same, even sneaking a few shots at Memorial Stadium. From there, the conversation shifts to Melissa O’Shaughnessy’s Perfect Strangers, the role of coincidence in street photography, and what it really means to be “lucky” with a camera in hand.
Antonio reflects on photographing the Nebraska State Fair and wonders if his pictures are starting to look too much like Ward’s, sparking a back-and-forth on where their work overlaps and where it differs. They wrap things up with some gear talk—Ward’s crush on the Fujifilm XE5, Antonio’s patience for a possible X-Pro 4, and both of their thoughts on the Ricoh GR IV—plus a chat about processing styles and how those choices shape their evolving voices in photography.
