The Puck Stops Here

"The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer”. - Robert Mapplethorpe "It’s a weird combination that makes a great picture. It’s a complete mystery to me." - Alec Soth   In this episode, Antonio and Ward talk about recent exhibitions, photobooks, and the ongoing evolution of their work. Ward shares his experience seeing large Fred Herzog prints in person and describes the impact of standing in front of that rich, immersive color. The conversation also turns to Tetsuo Suzuki’s latest book and the emotional intensity that can come from sequencing images into a cohesive, almost psychological body of work. Antonio reflects on presenting “The Fourth Epoch” to the Park West Camera Club, discussing what it means to publicly trace the arc of his creative life and speak openly about transition and change. Along the way, they briefly touch on the visual possibilities of photographing hockey, but the heart of the episode centers on seeing, sequencing, and how photographers make sense of where they’ve been—and where they’re headed.
