Interesting Podcast with Thomas Roma

logan2z · Oct 21, 2019

I usually don't find photography podcasts all that interesting and most photographers can be pretty dull when interviewed (I recently listened to an interview with Mark Steinmetz that bored me to tears), but I found this interview with Thomas Roma* on The Halftone very interesting/entertaining and thought I'd share it:

*I know that since this interview was conducted Roma has been in hot water over alleged inappropriate conduct with a student at Columbia University (and has since resigned), but I enjoyed the podcast nonetheless.

I thought it was humorous, insightful and just generally entertaining.

Did I just save you an hour and a half?

Can you share why it's worthwhile to listen to that podcast? Podcasts are sometimes worthwhile, but rarely.

Are you yanking my chain? . I listened to the podcast, I enjoyed it. I thought others might too so I shared it here.

Click the link and check it out. If after a few minutes you don't think it's worth your time then move on. It's really not that complicated.

I didn't know him. Thanks.
I know all of those about whom he is talking about. Have some of their books.
He is the bridge between them and me. It is like documentary.

Thanks for the link, Logan. I’ve seen him in the Garry Winogrand documentary and one about Szarkowski, but hadn’t taken the time to find out anything about him.

Cheers, James
