Many photographers have started and ended every day photo projects. Like ambitious projects such as podcasts, weight loss programs, and attempts to swear off yet another camera, most of these efforts end up unfulfilled. We photographers are romantic types, often bearing outsized dreams. Yet, I stubbornly entered this foray. But why? What would motivate me to tackle such a project? A Zen-like parable circulates among university art departments, describing two pottery classes held in one semester.

Wall Street Sermonizer by Andrea Klusner I had seen this gentleman on several occasions taking a break outside his place of work on Wall Street, just as office life was returning after the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic—always wearing the same dapper suit. I had also been noticing this trend of retro office attire on Wall Street, perhaps a counterreaction to the loungewear so many of us were donning while working from home.

Juan, please tell us how you got into photography, and street photography specifically? My vocation for photography came to me relatively late. I always liked photography but it wasn’t until I finished my university studies that I decided to start studying photography. Luckily, I live in a city where there is a lot of support for photography and there was the possibility to study within walking distance from home.

What I Love About Street PhotographersInside Street PhotographyThe official newsletter of Street Photography MagazineWhat I Love About Street PhotographersI don’t always join Bob when he interviews a photographer for the podcast. More often than not, Bob tackles the interview solo (he’s a fantastic interviewer and doesn’t really need me there, of this I am well aware.) Recently, though I made time for one.

It was kind of a nutty idea to start with: Fly sixteen and a half hours from New York City to Delhi, India, stay overnight in an airport hotel before flying the next day to Kolkata, where we’d meet up with friends midway through their six-week tour of the subcontinent. Spend nine days with them—four each in Kolkata and Varanasi and one in Bodh Gaya (where Siddhartha found benightment)—before reversing the travel nightmare.

Antonio Pisani was first introduced to the magic of photography by his father who was a professional photographer. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Antonio got a firsthand look at how film cameras work, and how his father brought his ideas to life in the darkroom. It made an impact on Antonio, if only a subconscious one at first. The decision to pick up the camera at a young age was his own, and he is grateful he recognized photography as his calling early on.
