On this episode I have Ansley Stewart. Ansley is a Houston Texas based photographer who is drawn to the lonely places in a attempt to grab images of sights fighting the battle against time. Being surrounded by endless miles of concrete, smog, and sound, the first time he stood on the face of a cliff overlooking the minuscule river far down in the valley, his perspective shifted.
Ansley called me a few weeks ago excited to tell me about the box of Koda chrome slides he found at an estate sale. He has been scanning and digitizing all of them with yes Leica M11 and an adapted Macro lens. Ansley and his wife have painstakingly been researching the history of the people and moments captured in the images.
From the owner being in the Texas woman’s hall of fame, to family outings, To Baylor University basket ball and the airplane trip to the Final 4 game at Madison square garden in 1948 or 49 as well as moments captured at a half built Baylor university football stadium against Texas A&M to moments where the serial killer candyman Dean Corll buried his victims.
I was so excited to hear about the project I had to have my close friend Ansley back on to talk about it and you can hear by the passion in his voice that this project is near and dear to his heart.
His end goal is to digitize the collection, preserve history and get the collection back into the hands of the family.
