How to Photograph Abandoned Places with Phil Ward

Nothing discussed in this podcast should be interpreted as encouraging trespassing, breaking laws, or engaging in unsafe activity while photographing abandoned places or exploring locations. Always follow all applicable laws and regulations, respect private property, obtain permission when required, and prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Always use good judgment and never enter locations that are structurally unsafe or legally restricted. In this episode of Get the Picture podcast, host Brad Sigal talks with Phil Ward about one of the riskier types of photography -- abandoned photography. What’s that? It involves urban exploration through often hard-to-access and dangerous places like abandoned buildings, tunnels, silos, caves, amusement parks, and more. But unlike much urban exploration you see online, the focus of abandoned photography is on making amazing images more so than creating videos documenting an exploration journey. Phil talks about what piqued his interest in abandoned photography, the equipment and settings he uses for long-exposure night photography, as well as the serious risks involved in doing abandoned photography - both legal and physical.

Getting Hyperlocal with Taylor Dahlin

Taylor has spent years doing hyperlocal journalism and photography in Minneapolis, reporting on and photographing what’s going on in her neighborhood. Things like potholes, graffiti, interesting architecture, neighborhood association meetings and political conventions, odd local traditions & characters, local politicians both bland and provocative, and neighborhood businesses.  Through covering her neighborhood, Taylor has learned a lot about how the city works. Her work helps make the mundane entertaining and has helped expose opportunistic politicians and fraudulent candidates.  Recently Minneapolis catapulted into headlines with Trump's anti-immigrant surge & Minneapolis residents' resistance. This ostensibly started from a right wing YouTuber creating a hit piece on a Somali daycare center in Taylor’s neighborhood. The federal operation has subsided & the media has mostly moved on. So it seemed like a good time to talk with Taylor about her perspective on all this and more. I accidentally only recorded the audio of our conversation, so this is an audio-only episode. I’ll be back with video on the next episode.
