Defend the Darkroom
by Paulette Michayluk
We are talking to photographers and creatives about themselves – what drives them to do what they do and how they were inspired along the way. In looking at our tech based world, we realized that no one was talking about inspiration, desire, drive or creativity and we thought that it was about time.

Sonja Scharf and Kelly Kyle of Akasha Art Projects - an inspiring creative couple
I started talking to partners because I wanted to learn how a partnership can help you stay focus - stay inspired - to help you keep creating. I asked Sonja and Kelly to talk with me because I have witnessed the growth of their gallery and wanted to hear their story. Many couples (at some point)...

Talking with Hon. Marie Charette-Pouline and Bernard Poulin - what a conversation
There are no words to adequately describe this conversation - it blew me away. So often a family has one person who is "the go-getter" but when you meet a couple whose relationship could only be defined as "reaching for the stars" - you just have to talk to them. After 50 years of marriage, Mme....

Defend the Darkroom with Chris Nicholls
In my head, a photo shoot is loud and bright and full of people running around. A gorgeous model stands in front of a camera with a wind machine blow their hair back - the model looks moody and the photographer is yelling at them to give them.... something. Then there is real life... or at least...

MICHELLE FORSYTH
We all give ourselves excuses to not achieve… but do we ever give ourselves reasons to succeed. Michelle Forsyth is an incredible inspiration for me. She is unstoppable in her studio practice – she supports and encourages a new generation of artists in her teaching practice – she is so positive…

Connecting with Mike Robinson
The involvement of the hand of the creator… not many people currently think of photography being an art form where the artist has their physical hand in the piece. Digitally, a creator is removed…. But Mike Robinson is intimately involved in all of the images he creates: he builds camera; takes…

Adding beauty with trees - a reforestation project by Ioana Vrabie
A lovely project focused on added beauty not only through the creation of artowrk but also planting trees. An inspiring reforestation project to support cutting carbon emissions and an amazing organziation "One Tree Planted"

Starting a career with Deanna Pizzitelli
I think it's common for most creatives to dream about the day when they garner recognition, find gallery representation and starting to get shown internationally. I don't believe I ever have had a full understanding of what these things would (or could) mean to an art practise or how an art...

Marcel Petit - photographer, storyteller, MetisJedi
Marcel Petit doesn't mince words – he openly shares his journey, philosophy and desire to not only take a great photograph but connect with his environment. He is thoughtful about why he takes photographs and mindful of how he is capturing an image; he isn't ok with being on default. Marcel is…

Chatting with Dianne Bos
Dianne Bos does not look at her life linearly. At every opportunity she is open to learning and challenging her perception about the world around her. Speaking with Dianne was electric – she loops ideas and processes together seamlessly with a healthy dose of enthusiasm. Knowing that Dianne…

Talking with June Clark
While I was speaking with June Clark she mentioned how artists must be willing to take risks. This sentiment really stuck with me – in these crazy times where nothing is "the same" or "normal", we creatives have been given the gift of time: time to break out of our routines, time to look at the...

Talking to April Hickox
Although April Hickox may not be an environmentalist, in the traditional definition of the word, she is very much of her environment. April is completely engaged with the place where she lives, the people that are part of her community and what is happening around her. She is an observer; a...

Connecting with Craig Richards
Craig Richards has a full life but there has always been one underlying theme that brought everything into focus: photography. From his time at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff AB starting as a technician and retiring as the Curator of photography; creating the internationally...
-
Talking with George Webber
Chatting with George Webber…. While speaking with George Webber he said: "Time is the currency of photography" – so true. George has been part of Calgary's photo community for decades; not only as an instructor but also as a documenter, through creating artistic commentary and as a commercial...
-
A conversation with Barbara Astman
We all have that one artist whose work is compelling and interests us – it provides us with interesting ideas that challenge how we look at the world, ourselves, our work. Barbara Astman's photography does that for me. I love how she constructs images, layers images (and meanings) while creating...
-
Talking to Shin Sugino
When Shin Sugino said that he was up for chatting with me – I was so excited. I knew he was wildly talented but his story makes that seem like an interesting side note. Shin's story cannot be described as ordinary or dull – he has always challenge boundaries, continued learning and is always…

David Morrish
David Morrish's career is definitely unique – starting in architecture, moving into carpentry, then photography, throw in some print making all the while creating an epic collection of… things makes for a great story. I love how his every day is an exploration in creation. Learning about his use…

Episode 4: Deborah Samuel
This podcast started as an opportunity for creative people to talk about their motivation: not their process; their equipment or their team but simply 'the why' of creating. What gets them up in the middle of the night. We believe this interview with Deborah Samuel demonstrates how some people…
