150: Who’s Pressing the Brakes

from On Taking Pictures · host Bill Wadman & Jeffery Saddoris

This week, a memo written by David Mamet sparks a discussion around the meaning and importance we give the things we make. Also a follow up on the Norman Seef video and how, for some photographers, the connection with the subject is the point and the photographs are merely a byproduct of the experience. Leonard Freed is our Photographer of the Week.
