All Through a Lens: A Podcast About Film Photography
An irreverent bi-weekly podcast about the ups and downs of film photography.
Episodes
Okay, first off, this is *not* a new episode of All Through a Lens. This is also not a new venture. It was record before we knew the podcast was ending.
This is the first of what was to be some fill-in episodes. We'd then take our normal summer break and then come back with Vania in August. I know it's not the same, but I hope you give it a listen. I personally think it's a good episode with some good information and some fun a...
Hello everybody. This is Eric. And I have some pretty bad news for you considering the podcast. As of now the podcast is ending. We are both utterly gutted and heartbroken over this decision. We both loved the podcast so very much. And we love the friends and listeners more than they will probably know. I know for some of you it's just another podcast you listen to. And I get that, I listen to a lot of podcasts myself. But for u...

On this episode of Dev Party Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) try out some new old ideas! But first, Vania developed a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 220 in C-41 - that's right, 220! And it looks amazing! Eric fell back on the old standby of Fomapan 100 in FA-1027 - in 4x5, of course. He had a bad hike and it shows.
We also answered a few questions about d...

There's also a zine review and some interesting banter concerning the differences between US breakfasts and Canadian breakfasts. And guess which one of us has never had Tang.

On this episode of Dev Party we’re developing film and talking about the ethics of photographing abandoned places (sort of, you’ll see).
Eric shot some Kodak TMax 100, expired in 1991. And because of this, we talk a bit about what we were doing that year. We’ve forgotten a lot.

While we don't have a regular episode for you because we're on a much-earned winter break, Vania and Eric are doing a bit of a check in. Mostly we're discussing Kodak's price increases? Is it just in line with inflation or is Kodak realizing they have a monopoly? We give advice to those wondering what to do now they Kodak has out-priced them. And we also give some advice to the advice-givers (check your privilege, okay?). We ...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
