photosdie: Kevin Von Qualen: 8mm & Intimate America

Photos die

I found the slide photo above (taken by my father) during a recent visit with my parents. I asked my mom about it.

Photos die, unless we talk about them. Hello. My name is Todd Wemmer. Photosdie.com features audio interviews and field recordings related to photography. I use the term "related" loosely. I might say that everything is about photography. Or photography is about everything. I might also say that this site is really more about the talk that surrounds photography. Or the sounds that surround photography. So I am interested in the talk that surrounds the photograph more than the actual photograph itself. Or something like that. Half journalistic / half qualitative ~~research~~. I use the H2 Zoom, iPod Belkin mic & iPod, and cell phone for recording. I used to use a Sharp minidisc (R.I.P).

Kevin Von Qualen: 8mm & Intimate America

I interviewed Kevin Von Qualen back in May (2011) in New York City. He talked about his work with 8mm and his personal project, Intimate America. Enjoy. Go HERE if you are listening on an iPhone / iPad. I took the photo of Kevin in New York on later trip. Kevin took the photo of the barn and stars as part of his Intimate America Project. He has promised to send some audio from his great-grandfather's tapes. Send me the audio Kevin.

This is a little clip from the many attempts to interview Kevin as we walked around NYC. Many interruptions. I'm calling this little clip a B-side. If you are on an iPhone or iPad go HERE.
