Analog.Cafe Podcast s2/e7 “Yvonne Hanson: Travel Tales of an Editorial Photographer.”
Yvonne works in Vancouver (Canada) and internationally, making portraits and producing event coverage — a good part of it is shot on film. Daren and I sat down with Yvonne at her studio to listen to her travel stories (like that time with the bomb-detection alarm), learn why she — and her clients — prefer film, her favourite camera tattoo, and how she plans photoshoots.
Analog.Cafe Podcast s2/e6 “How to Talk About Addiction Through Art: Mia Glanz on ‘Becky’s Purse’”.
Mia is an artist and photographer with deep roots in Vancouver. She recently published a unique, thought-provoking book about Becky, a painter and an old friend who had succumbed to addiction. In today’s podcast episode, we sit down with her on my warm, flowery balcony to chat about how she approached her project and the story behind it.
Your podcast host, Daren, is Mia’s publisher with his company, Soft Grain…
Analog.Cafe Podcast takes a trip to C41 Coffee in Kitsilano to chat about coffee and cameras with its owner, Andy.
Andy talks about his business, his relationship with photography, specifically film photography, and his life before Vancouver in Kenya, where he found his love of cameras and the brew.
Analog.Cafe Podcast s2/e4 “Shitty Camera Challenge with Adam James.”
Adam James is the creator of the Shitty Camera Challenge — an informal, welcoming community and an annual event for photographers who like to use subpar cameras.
In today’s episode of the Analog.Cafe Podcast (a first on video!), we play “Shitty or Not,” where Adam rates Dmitri’s cameras, including one made entirely out of gingerbrad.
Analog.Cafe Podcast s2/e3 “Rethinking Film Inversions with film Q.”
Daren and I get nerdy about film scanning and negative inversions. We talk about the current options (Silverfast, VueScan, NLP, and others) and why they didn’t work for me. Then I did a live demo of a web app I built that fixes those problems.
But what is a live demo without a moment of embarrassing technical difficulties? The app, which was still in development, broke during the podcast, so I had to fix it on air while sweating bullets…
Analog.Cafe Podcast s2/e2 “We’re Back! Here’s our April News Roundup.”
Daren and I are back after a short hiatus. We discuss the new films and cameras, examining their histories, origins, prices, and whether they are worth it.
We also chat about the business side of film production and Kodak’s new products (not all of which are film), competitions, and AI slop.
I’m attaching sample photos of Harman Azure film boxes to the show notes on Analog.Cafe (here, analog.cafe/comments/tag/p…) that…
Analog.Cafe Podcast s2/e1 “A Conversation with Sissi Lu.”
This is a two-part podcast. PART ONE) Daren and I kick off Season 2 with a few thoughts and predictions for 2026, followed by [29:15] PART TWO) a chat with Sissi Lu, a prominent New York photographer with a disarming approach to street portraiture on film.
Analog.Cafe Podcast s1/e5 “Kodak Snapic A1: Best In Class!”
In this episode, you’ll hear me accidentally open my loaded film camera and ruin a few frames (gasp!). But more importantly, Daren and I shoot, develop, scan, and share our first impressions with the new RETO/Kodak film camera. We are impressed.
Analog.Cafe Podcast s1/e4 “OKTO35: Make Movies on 135 Film with Blaž Semprimožnik!”
In this episode, Daren and I sit down (remotely¹) with Blaž Semprimožnik — a Slovenian engineer who invented a new way to shoot movies on regular 35mm film — the kind we buy for our still cameras!
¹ — Please note that this is our first podcast interview — expect some echoes and a few hops around the topic 😅. We’re still learning. That said, the episode delves deep into the inner workings of the camera and Blaž’s ideas behind…
In this episode, Daren reviews Kodak’s financial statements, explains why its stock price recently tanked, and discusses how the business is doing. We chat about money, a factory explosion, toxic chemicals, the future of film photography, and film prices.
