I fly solo on this episode, where I discuss a classic photograph by 20th Century master, William Klein. This image is a personal favorite of mine, and I enjoyed the experience of spending an extended amount of time pondering it. Click on the link below to have the image readily available before you listen! This one is worth at least a thousand words. Bonus! I share the rare color version of this scene as well.

Since the onset of digital imaging, there has been a distinctive swing toward the analogue "look," whether achieved through true analogue processes or digital simulations. The rise of AI has further muddied the waters, raising questions about what is real and what is simulacrum. I discuss all of this and more with my guest, Lev Manovich. Together, we explore what the future of photographic and artistic image-making may entail.
