Episode 31: A Very Zoney System

<p>On this week’s show we’re talking to the hardest working man in photography – Jamie Maldonado (@<a href='https://www.instagram.com/jamiemphoto/'>jamiemphoto</a> on IG). Our feature this week is our first part of two about the Zone System – we’ll be doing our best to wade through that mess and tell you about how we’ve used it to take a few photos here and there.  We’ve also got the answering machine and a couple of zine reviews.  </p> <p> </p> JAMIE MALDoNADO <p>We called up photographer Jamie Maldonado for a chat about shooting “Distance Sessions” via FaceTime during the (ever-ongoing) pandemic.</p> <p></p> <p>Here’s a selection of his work:</p> <ul class="blocks-gallery-grid"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"></li> <li class="blocks-gallery-item"></li> <li class="blocks-gallery-item"></li> <li class="blocks-gallery-item"></li> </ul> <p>And here’s where you can pick up his zines:</p> <p><a href='http://jamiemphoto.com/zines'>http://jamiemphoto.com/zines</a></p> BASICALLY THE ZONE SYSTEM <p>We are admittedly new to Zone System, but that doesn’t stop us from slogging through Ansel Adams’ prose in some sort of self-flagellation ritual.</p> <p> </p> <p>We referenced a photo taken by Eric for most of this.</p> <p>Camera: Mamiya RB67Lens: Mamiya-Sekor 3.8/90mmFilm: Kodak Verichrome Pan; x-1/1996Process: HC-110; 1+90; 18minOctober 2020</p> ZINE REVIEWS <p>We reviewed:</p> <p>Monochrome Mania No. 3 by <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mfophotos/'>Mark O’Brien</a>, which you can (and absolutely should) pick up <a href='https://checkout.square.site/buy/E3CBOZRG47F32XBLY4CHNURK'>here</a>.</p> <p></p> <p>We also reviewed Venetiae Deerratus by <a href='https://www.instagram.com/fedequaglino/'>Federico Quaglino</a>.</p> <p> </p> PATREON <p>Thank you to everyone who supports us!</p> <p>Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.
