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.

Of and About

Inspired by a recent Candid Frame podcast where host Ibarionex Perello interviews photographer Cig Harvey, Antonio and Ward invited fellow Unusual Collective member and AIC Stories Podcast host David Szweduik to join the show to discuss what it means to create photos *about* something rather than taking photos *of* something.

Art of Art
Antonio and Ward discuss what it means to take photos of artwork. Whether it's an Ancient Greek sculpture or a modern design building, can we actually call the photos we make of these objects "art?" Can we take credit for the new creations or do we consider it a "collaboration" with the known or unknown artist? It's a question that dates since the advent of photography itself.

Why Color?
Last episode, Antonio and Ward asked why we would want to take black and white images. Well, of course, this episode they now ask the same question of color. Walker Evans once called color photography "vulgar" but he ended his photographic life embracing the color images he shot with his Polaroid instant camera. Antonio and Ward discuss the idea that maybe we take color photography for granted. The first image you take with a new camera or new phone is, of course, a color image. The Street Shots guys want you to really think about what it means to create a color image and be mindful of color in your photography. No, they don't think color photography is vulgar and frankly neither did Evans.

Why Black and White?

Antonio and Ward ask the question: Why do we choose to photograph in black and white? There is no simple answer and this episode opens the door to explore what it means to create images not in color.

Let Us Now Praise Redux
Life has gotten in the way again and while we tend to personal matters, please enjoy this rerun of episode #99 "Let Us Now Praise."
This episode, Ward Rosin and I get to talk about a childhood photography hero of mine: Walker Evans. We take a little dive into Evans' life, his stint at the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression and some of his other photographic endeavors during his life. Ward and I ask what was it about Evans' work that made him such an iconic American Photographer. Also, we dovetail the discussion into a newly discovered project by some high school students from Bellaire, Ohio.

Life on the Edge
(image courtesy ©ward rosin)
We spend a lot of our time looking at, and composing for, the center of the image. But what about the edges of the frame? Are they the Forbidden Zone? No, they are most certainly not! Antonio and Ward are living on the edge by discussing and exploring the edges of the frame. Just what are they for and what can you do with them?
