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.

Kodachrome on the Range
Antonio and Ward are back with a new episode of Street Shots, where they dive into a few interesting topics. They start by sharing their thoughts on an amazing book that a listener sent them, and then Antonio opens up about a common question he often gets asked: what gear he uses to capture his shots. Fortunately, Ward has some great advice to help him handle this dilemma with ease. Later on, the duo takes a closer look at Everett Baker, a talented photographer from Saskatchewan who traveled across Canada in the mid-20th century, capturing stunning scenes of the people and landscape with his trusty Leica camera and Kodachrome film.

A.I., Oh My!
Antonio welcomes his friend Bart Busschots from the "Let's Talk Photography" podcast in this episode. They pick up on the AI discussion that was started on episode 113 of "Let's Talk Photography" and delve deeper into the artistic, moral, and ethical implications of AI-generated images.

In this episode, Antonio and Bart Busschots continue their discussion about AI-generated images and their implications. They delve deeper into the topic, exploring various aspects such as the artistic and aesthetic value of such images, the ethical and moral considerations that come with their creation, and their potential impact on various industries and society at large. They discuss how AI can be trained to create images that are aesthetically pleasing but lack the human touch and the emotional depth that comes with human creativity. On the other hand, they also explore how AI-generated images can be used to enhance creativity and aid artists in their work.

Why Post Process?
Antonio and Ward are continuing their series on the "whys" of photography, this time emphasizing the significance of post-processing. They believe that a photo is not just limited to the act of taking a picture, but extends beyond it to the process of editing and refining the image. For them, post-processing is an essential part of their creative process and enables them to bring their vision to life. They emphasize the importance of not overlooking this stage as it plays a crucial role in the final outcome of a photo.

A.I., A.I., Oh!
AI art generators and images have been a hot topic in the creative community in the past few months, and Ward and Antonio invited Dave Szweduik to join them in a discussion about the potential impact of AI on photography and writing. The use of AI in the creative arts is a highly charged and controversial subject, and it is likely to be a game changer in the coming year. The effects of AI on creatives and the creative process are uncertain, but it is an important topic that warrants further discussion and consideration.
P.S. The opening quote in the show was generated by ChatGPT in iambic pentameter:
Intelligence unbound
By flesh and blood, but born of machines
AI, a new sound
Of progress, or a threat unseen
