Episode 50: Brooklyn Film Camera, Social Unrest and Racism in Photography with Kyle Depew

Kyle Depew is an activist,  the owner of Brooklyn Film Camera, a wonderful photographer and a dear friend from my time living in New York City. Kyle and I first met when we worked together at The Impossible Project, which is a company that made new film for vintage Polaroid cameras (now known as Polaroid). After we both left Impossible, Kyle started his own company and shop called Brooklyn Film Camera in Bushwick where they sell film and film cameras of all types. In addition, BFC organizes events for image makers and film enthusiasts and their staff is available for photographing events. Kyle uses his love for photography to create and foster community and tell stories. He was a wonderful coworker and I'm grateful for his thoughtfulness and care.  Check out and support Brooklyn Film Camera for all your film and camera needs (seriously, get an SX-70)! And follow them on instagram @brooklynfilmcamera.  Please note that Kyle and I spoke over two weeks ago so, of course, much has happened since then that is not included in our discussion.
