Episode 358 of the Sunny 16 podcast features interviews by wonderful hosts Graeme and Rachel with Opaque’s intrepid editor, Yant Martin-Keyte, contributor John-Michael Mendizza, and me.
We discuss our experiences of making photographs with the theme of Opaque, the diverse ways the 17 contributors to the zine met that challenge, and our approaches to writing text to accompany the photographs.
You can hear the episode on Podbean, as well as through your usual podcatcher.
Several of the contributors have also written about how they approached making work for the Opaque zine, including pieces by Dave Whenham, Peggy Marsh, and Jim Graves.
Here is one of my photographs that’s included in the zine. Graeme and Rachel thought that my approach was rather bold :-)
Opaque is available worldwide for £9 plus shipping through the collective’s Ko-Fi shop. You can also find it for $15 at Underdog Film Lab in Oakland, California (our exclusive North American stockist! which also still has a couple of copies of my book, Returning to the Unimagined); and in the UK at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool and Parallax Photographic Coop in London.
