Interview with historic sign photographer Mark Stein

Interview with historic sign photographer Mark Stein, is a hell of a title ain't it!  Well, I'm back after a prolonged break from this pandemic, but I am feeling in a better headspace thank god.  After chatting with Mark recently we finally nailed down a date together to get this podcast recorded.  Apologies for any audio issues on this one, so many internet-related service issues at the minute it's crazy. As you know I like to bring you variety, as it keeps us all entertained.  With episode 85 and our lovely guest Mark Stein from Denver, Colorado, USA.  Mark has definitely found a niche project here.  He's photographing some of the vintage and historic signs along the famous route 66.  Mark was one of the guys I found through Instagram and we started talking some time ago, due to our passion for film.  I even showed him a book I had been reading a few months ago about some interesting stops along Route 66 (I mean who hasn't heard of it?) You can tell from the interview Mark has a passion for history and photography, which makes a lovely scene and produces high class images too.  He works hard to capture these in short periods when he has time. In this podcast we discuss: nostalgia or history photography groups + trips Lomography, Fuji & Kodak film Bronica + metering darkroom lab (California) COVID + small business creativity with COVID growing own food travelling via car/plane Kotak/Ilford price increases fuji film loses  market changes FPP government surplus film listening to vinyl Hopefully you will enjoy this one as I attempt to keep these interviews more chat based and focus on the person and their art.  Please do check out Mark's work online using the links.
