The Ephemeral Haggis with Stasia Schmidt

from Prime Lenses · host Iain Farrell

I asked Stasia if she would be up for speaking with me about her book, Ephemerality, for a little midweek episode this week. She’s fantastic company so the excuse to get her on a call seemed like a good one. Of course, because it’s me, we talk the book but we also talk about future guest Krystle Wright, my one camera rule, sensor cleaning, Irn-Bru and haggis.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
