lost and found photos podcast: Miriam Romais: Executive Director & Editor of En Foco

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.

Miriam Romais: Executive Director & Editor of En Foco

I spoke to Miriam about En Foco and Nueva Luz. Miriam presented (with Hannah Frieser & Ariel Shanberg) at SPE. The panel: In the Mix: Opportunities for Artists of Color. I talked to her the next day about En Foco and Nueva Luz. What I DID NOT talk to her about was her own work. My mistake Miriam. Next time. See her work HERE.

From En Foco's website: "For over 30 years, it has been in the forefront of documenting the artistic journeys created by artists often overlooked by the mainstream art world. Through our visual arts programs, including Nueva Luz photographic journal, artists are free to explore or reinvent cultural traditions, challenge preconceived notions, and engage audiences in a manner that honors all."
