Street Shots Photography Podcast
Antonio M Rosario
Street Shots is a photography podcast hosted by photographers Antonio M. Rosario and Ward Rosin. Each episode is a conversation about the why of making photos — what pulls you toward certain subjects, how your life shapes your eye, and what it means to stay curious after years of shooting. Instead of gear fights and step-by-step tutorials, Antonio and Ward talk shop like two working photographers over coffee: honest, reflective, occasionally funny, and always grounded in real experience. Expect thoughtful takes on street photography, visual literacy, personal projects, creative habits, and the quiet (and not-so-quiet) forces that shape the pictures we make.

Dispatches from the Studio
It's Antonio alone this episode and while he meant it to be another Dispatches from Green-Wood, the audio gremlins acted up and, well... Antonio is asking about how everyone archives their work and also ponders those "then and now" images. Also, a quick "review" of some crazy software. Note: The show "The Alienist was broadcast on TNT network and not on AMC as Antonio mentioned. Oops.
