Jeffery Saddoris Podcast Archive

NOTE: This is the audio track from my video review, which I encourage you to watch on YouTube or read on Substack.In a new book from Prestel, simply titled Gregory Crewdson, editor Walter Moser — the head of the department of photography at the ALBERTINA in Vienna — has curated a selection of images from all of Crewdson’s major bodies of work. Prestel was kind enough to send me a copy for review and I couldn’t be more thrilled to talk about it...LINKSGregory Crewdson - ALBERTINA modernMaking EveningsideThere But Not There - Gregory Crewdson DocumentaryCrewdson Trail LogBeneath the Roses - Crewdson Trail LogDream House Archive - New York Times MagazineGregory Crewdson on Process DrivenDavid Fincher - Invisible DetailsCONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comInstagram: @jefferysaddorisEmail: [email protected] and sounds by me using products from ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬, and ‪@WeAreElektron‬.

Last week, I sat down for a conversation with Bill Wadman that was released in this feed as well as the On Taking Pictures feed, which hadn’t been updated since 2018. The response to the episode was, well, unexpected to say the least. We’ve gotten a ton of feedback and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it. We don’t really know how often these conversations will happen moving forward, but it’s always good to sit down will Bill and just hit the record button and see where we end up.What I do know is that this is part two of the conversation from last week that started with Bill talking about whether or not he was going to return his new Fuji GFX 100. In this conversation we’re talking about media, materials, and an incident involving some Ikea shelving that leads us down a rabbit hole around legacy and perspective.LINKSOTP Episode ArchiveIkea IDÅSEN shelvingCONNECT WITH BILLWebsite: https://billwadman.comTwitter: @billwadmanInstagram: @billwadmanCONNECT WITH JEFFERYWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comTwitter: @jefferysaddorisInstagram: @jefferysaddorisYouTube: @jefferysaddorisMUSICEyes This Way by Bill Wadman (w/ Andrea Mann)

In 2012, Bill Wadman and I recorded the first episode of On Taking Pictures and for the next 324 weeks, we never missed an episode. Even though Bill and I don’t talk every week like we used to, whenever we do, it’s like picking up the conversation where we left off. If you’ve never listened to an episode of OTP, consider this a teaser for the 325 episodes you have ahead of you. OTP changed my life for the better and I always love getting to sit down with Bill, regardless of whether or not we hit the record button. But it’s often a lot more fun when we do because we get to share the conversations with you.LINKSOTP Episode ArchiveMichael FremerWilson Watt Puppy speakersFuji 32-64 f/4 zoomFuji GFX100sJohnny Carson Carnac the MagnificentBill’s GFX100s playback exposure issuePentax 645zCONNECT WITH BILLWebsite: https://billwadman.comTwitter: @billwadmanInstagram: @billwadmanCONNECT WITH JEFFERYWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comTwitter: @jefferysaddorisInstagram: @jefferysaddorisYouTube: @jefferysaddorisMUSICEyes This Way by Bill Wadman (w/ Andrea Mann)

One of the things I love about talking to Bill Wadman is that even when we don’t talk for a while, the banterand chemistry that was the heart of On Taking Pictures for more than 300 episodes is right there regardless of what we’re talking about. It’s been that way since the first episode and nearly a decade later, it’s still fun to see where we end up.CONNECT WITH BILLWebsite: https://billwadman.comTwitter: @billwadmanInstagram: @billwadmanCONNECT WITH JEFFERYWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comTwitter: @jefferysaddorisInstagram: @jefferysaddorisMUSICFive to One by Steve PoloniAll of the music featured in this episode is licensed from Artlist.io, which is a terrific music licensing platform for YouTubers and filmmakers.

I first interviewed photographer and author David duChemin in 2013 as one of a series of conversations I hosted for Faded & Blurred, a website and photo community that I helped build while I was teaching Photoshop at a photography school in Southern California. What followed over the next decade-plus was something I couldn’t have scripted — a friendship, a creative partnership, and more conversations than either of us can probably count. This podcast is included in the archive as part of that record, with David’s permission.Across 13 episodes, David and I explore photography, photographers, and the creative process. We talk about making more meaningful photographs, developing a personal vision, creating more cohesive bodies of work, editing for narrative, balancing creative life with everyday life, and occasionally even gear. It was a rewarding series to make with a collaborator and friend whose work and perspective I’ve long admired.CONNECT WITH DAVIDWebsite: davidduchemin.comInstagram: @davidducheminCONNECT WITH MEWebsite: jefferysaddoris.comInstagram: @jefferysaddoris

Illustrated with a beautiful collection of black-and-white photographs, the book’s essays speak to topics such as craft, mastery, vision, audience, discipline, story, and authenticity. There's discussion of creative process, and patience, and the role of editing and post-production. The Soul of the Camera is a personal and deeply practical book that quietly yet forcefully challenges the idea that our cameras, lenses, and settings are anything more than dumb and mute tools. It is the photographer, not the camera, that can and must learn to make better photographs―photographs that convey our vision; that connect with others; that, at their core, contain our humanity. If the camera, and our photographs, are to have soul, it's we who must put it there.”LINKShttps://www.soulofthecamera.comCONNECT WITH DAVIDWebsite: davidduchemin.comInstagram: @davidducheminCONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comInstagram: @jefferysaddorisYouTube: @jefferysaddoris

In this episode, I’m doing something a little different. One of the goals I’ve had for Process Driven from the beginning has been to expand the scope of the conversations I have beyond visual arts as an exploration into how and where creativity overlaps, regardless of the discipline. In this episode I’m sitting down with Glenn D’Cruze, a Canadian musician who records under the name North Atlantic Explorers. I was introduced to Glenn’s music by a listener of my other podcast, On Taking Pictures who emailed and asked if he could send me one of Glenn’s CDs. I’m so grateful that he did.My Father was a Sailor is a gorgeous atmospheric homage to Glenn’s late father, who was an engineer on merchant ships in the North Atlantic during the 1950s. After his father died, Glenn embarked on a journey of his own that ultimately took him from his home in Vancouver to the seas sailed by his father nearly six decades earlier — and it all began with a pair of drum sticks and a stack of cardboard boxes.LINKSBBC Shipping ForecastsSailing ByFreedy Johnston – We Will ShineBelle & Sebastian – A Space Boy DreamDream Academy – Life in a Northern TownFEATURED SONGSInto the Blue SeaGlasgow, Circa 1952Hebrides, Bailey, Fair IsleYarboroughThe Sailor & The StenographerCONNECT WITH GLENNWebsite: North Atlantic ExplorersTwitter: @northatlanticxpMUSICPlease Listen Carefully(Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0

A few months ago, I attended a talk that Dan Winters gave at the Smithsonian and one of the things that struck me straight away was the language he used to describe his relationship to his work. I’ve been a fan for years and own a few of his books, but I never had the opportunity to hear him speak before. There’s such emotion and romance in how he relates to his work, especially in the making or the doing as he calls it. Words like “reverence” and “gratitude” are used often and as you’ll hear in this conversation, these aren’t simply buzzwords. They apply equally whether he’s shooting a campaign for a client or walking by himself through the streets of New York with a 50mm lens and a few rolls of Tri-X. There’s an incredible authenticity to Dan that seems to pervade his entire life, from the work that he does to the people and things he surrounds himself with. I began by asking Dan where his love of making began and how he stays connected to it 30 years in.LINKSKazimer MalevichChris CallisHarry CallahanW.

In 1976, William Eggleston opened his first color show at MoMA, the reviews were fairly polarized. To some of the art establishment, color photography was for snapshots and not to be taken seriously and black and white was the only true photographic art form. But while one critic called the show “perfectly banal”, another called it a milestone and said that after it black and white would seem slightly quaint and precious. In the 40 years since, it’s almost impossible, at least for me, to imagine a photographic world without color. Don’t get me wrong, I love black and white and spent years shooting only black and white but there’s something to be said for the work of photographers like Fred Herzog, Steve McCurry and Saul Leiter. We see in color and when it’s done right, photography can help us see our world differently through color, which is one of the things I love about the work of Ben Thomas. In Ben’s series Chroma, color becomes almost a character, a necessary element to help communicate the narrative behind the work. When I first saw it, I knew I wanted to talk to him. What I found is that each series that he’s done over the past several years is an exploration of composition, texture and color—and it all began with a project calle Cityshrinker.LINKSOlivo BarbieriAnreas GurskyVincent LaforetVilla Lena Henry the WorstCONNECT WITH BENWebsite: http://benthomas.coTwitter: @___benthomasInstagram: @___benthomasMUSICPlease Listen Carefully(Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0

I can’t tell you what the first photograph that I ever saw by Gregory Crewdson was, but I do remember very clearly how it made me feel — how I connected to this world. Unlike any other photographer I can think of off the top of my head, this was instantly familiar to me. This world was familiar; the plights and the struggles that these characters seemed to be going through were very much my own. Feelings of disconnect, feelings of isolation — and feelings of hope and possibility that those feelings would pass — that they were stepping stones or bridges to something better. This work resonated with me, and still does, on a very deep level. In this conversation, Gregory and I discuss his brilliant new body of work, Cathedral of the Pines, as well as the very personal journey he had to undertake to bring it to life.LINKSCathedral of the PinesSanctuaryBeneath the RosesCONNECT WITH GREGORYWebsite: http://www.gagosian.comTwitter: @CrewdsonStudioInstagram: @CrewdsonStudioMUSICPlease Listen Carefully (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0

In some ways, Audiolog is a precursor to what would become Iterations — short reflections and observations presented without any visual component. It probably comes from growing up in the 60s and 70s, when radio was just as important to me as television and film — sometimes even more. I still remember DJs like “Uncle” Joe Benson who did a show on KLOS called The Seventh Day — seven albums played back to back, without any sort of commercial interruption. Between sides, Joe would tell stories about the artists and the production of each record. Jim Ladd did a show called Headsets — curated sets of music best heard in headphones. Then there was Joe Frank, whose bizarre and often surreal shows on KCRW became a genre unto themselves.The point is, audio has been special to me as far back as I can remember and it’s something I keep coming back to as a form of experimentation and expression.

In some ways, Audiolog is a precursor to what would become Iterations — short reflections and observations presented without any visual component. It probably comes from growing up in the 60s and 70s, when radio was just as important to me as television and film — sometimes even more. I still remember DJs like “Uncle” Joe Benson who did a show on KLOS called The Seventh Day — seven albums played back to back, without any sort of commercial interruption. Between sides, Joe would tell stories about the artists and the production of each record. Jim Ladd did a show called Headsets — curated sets of music best heard in headphones. Then there was Joe Frank, whose bizarre and often surreal shows on KCRW became a genre unto themselves.The point is, audio has been special to me as far back as I can remember and it’s something I keep coming back to as a form of experimentation and expression. These episodes of Audiolog are a bit of both.---Filmmaker Casey Neistat is a huge inspiration for me, both personally and professionally. Here are five reasons why.CONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comInstagram: @jefferysaddorisEmail: [email protected]
