The OPTIC 2016 Imaging Conference provided numerous opportunities to talk with some of the most respected nature and landscape photographers working today, but the highlights of our two days at OPTIC had to be our chat with Michael Kenna, the event’s keynote presenter, and our conversation with Paul and John Paul Caponigro. It is unnecessary to summarize the work of these three photographers in any quick description but, suffice it to say, each is a master of his craft. While their work is distinctive and unique, it was wonderful to hear of their common vision, approach—and yes, spirituality—and for this reason, we present their conversations together. With Kenna we spoke of process, why he sticks with medium format film photography and what motivates and inspires his work. With the Caponigros, we touched upon the spirit of art, how to communicate with nature and, with Father’s Day in mind, how to let a child discover his or her own path to artistic expression. Join us for these two inspirational conversations. Guests: Michael Kenna (1:30 - 30:05) Paul and John Paul Caponigro (31:00-57:10) Photo Credit: Paul Caponigro (l) and John Paul Caponigro (r)
You can find literally hundreds of B&H podcasts.
I'm dealing with both Caponigros, JP (2000 vintage "Adobe Photoshop Master Class") and P (1967 Aperture, Minor White-edited monograph) . I bought both books at the same time incredibly cheaply via Amazon.
I was inspired by Paul's Aperture when my teacher. a Minor White student, showed it to me in 1968. Easy-reading compared to John Paul's book, which sold for $50 when it came out. John Paul's far more difficult tome deals with aesthetics and fundamental and obscure realities within Photoshop... far from a how-to book....it's somehow insightful, not technical..
It was easy to be inspired by the father's beautiful Aperture monograph.
The son's now-antique Photoshop book is eons-out-of-date but I'm getting far more from it than I did from the expensive PS and LR books that I've discarded.
