NEW CHALLENGE! Example of environment portrait with a story by ©Valérie Jardin

This is Conrad. He was walking out of the garage of the famous First Avenue music club in Minneapolis. I went to him and said “Wow you must’ve seen a lot of famous artists over the years.” Being such an interesting character and a true Minnesotan, I asked to make a portrait of him. He wanted to pose by one of the stars on the building which is the one of his brother Billy who has a long time behind-the-scene fixture in Minneapolis. Sadly, Billy passed away at the age of 60. Conrad still works at the famous First Avenue. He is the stage manager today. He also has his silver star on wall, not too far from Prince’s gold star.

In this Episode…

In this new Q&A segment, Valerie invites Doug Kaye to help answer a listener questions about their workflow, rate of keepers and workshop expectations. They announce the winners of the latest photo challenge and announce a new one.

Guest Co-Host Doug Kaye

Beginning his visual explorations in his father's wet darkroom, Doug earned a degree in theatrical lighting design at U.C. Berkeley in the '60s and studied cinematography at NYU's Graduate Institute of Film and Television in the '70s. In the '80s he began a two-decade hiatus from still photography, then got into digital in 2008. A trip to Kenya convinced him nature photography wasn't for him, and Iceland cured him of his interest in landscape. For the past four years, Doug has focused almost exclusively on street photography, including shooting film (even medium and large format) much of the time. Doug teaches photography locally in San Francisco and online. He leads street-photography workshops in Cuba, which he has visited eight times, and locally in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the co-host and producer of the CameraLabs Cafe gear-review podcast with Gordon Laing.
