lost and found photos podcast: Joe Manning's Lewis Hine & FSA Project

about this site

Hello. My name is Todd Wemmer. Here you will find a number of audio interviews and field recordings related to photography. I've also started doing a few non-audio posts. Text & Video. I found the slide photo above (taken by my father) during a recent visit with my parents. I asked my mom about it.

I use the H2 Zoom, iPod Belkin mic & iPod, and cell phone for recording. I used to use a Sharp minidisc (R.I.P).

I use music from MagnaTunes.com. Great site. Great music. Most of the songs I've used recently come from Joram. You can find him on Magnatunes.com.

Joe Manning's Lewis Hine & FSA Project

My dissertation adviser sent me an article about Joe Manning about a year ago from the Daily Hampshire Gazette. This semester I'm teaching a course titled "Lost & Found Media." Joe has been reuniting ancestors of children featured in Lewis Hine photographs. He has found over 100 descendants.

I asked Joe to come talk to my class about his Lewis Hine project. He did. I took his photograph and we had this short conversation. You can read all about Joe's project and his other work (photography, poetry, writing) HERE.
