This podcast is one of my new favourite things. It makes me miss the NSCAD darkrooms, and the lovely chats that would happen throughout the department.

Pdexposures Podcast Episode 43 – Know Your Rights

In a world where law-abiding citizens are being stopped for engaging in a perfectly legal hobby, amateur photojournalists are being arrested and their equipment seized, and intellectual property is being stolen right, left and center, three people have come together to cobble together some sort of advice on how best to deal with the most common legal problems facing photographers in this modern…

Simon also wants to show you one that you shouldn’t even go near because he feels it’s important to…

Red Light District 05: Dave Kirby

We have made it to the fifth edition of the Red Light District. In much the same vein as our first featured Darkroom, Dave has turned an outdoor shed into a darkroom. He even sees some of the same issues Nate does – though whether he uses a bucket to move water around was unfortunately not addressed.

What started off as a 8 x 6 shed was transformed into a fully functional darkroom, complete with…
