Hi. Welcome to episode 16 of Photographers Stories! It’s been a while! Hasn’t it! Sorrynotsorry about not making an episode sooner, I have been busy not stressing about editing audio, it’s been great to be honest. I recorded this episode in September of last year (2016) in Christchurch with my old boss Greg Bramwell, who owned and ran Photo & Video International for 28 years! We chat about the ups and downs of the photographic industry, his photography, learning photography from Laurence Aberhart, other people’s photography, photo labs, photographers, cameras and a lot of other things. At the time of recording Greg had recently sold the camera store, something you don’t really hear people doing much anymore. Sorry if the file is a bit big but I am a bit rusty at this, maybe only download it on wifi. I hope you enjoy my chat with Greg!

Hi. This is part 2 of Ambré and Matthew’s Audio Adventures in Japan. This episode is once again 5 chapters or days of our trip to Japan. In this episode we are mostly hanging out in Kyoto and describe visiting Kinkakuji (The Golden Pavilion), Ryoanji Zen Garden, Heian Garden, Universal Studios Japan and last but definitely not least, the Studio Ghibli shop. We talk about Japan, food, photography, food, the weird stuff we come across, food and we also yawn a lot. Sorry, we were tired! I hope you enjoy listening! MRJ.

Hi. This is not a normal episode of Photographer Stories. Late last week my girlfriend Ambré and I returned from just over 2 weeks holiday in Japan. At the end of each day her and I had a little conversation about what we did during that day and recorded it. We do talk about photography a little bit but there is a lot of talk about Japan (obviously), where we went that day, food and weird/memorable things that happened to us. This is the first 5 days of our trip. I hope it’s not too boring for you! Enjoy! MRJ

Hi and welcome to episode 15 of Photographer Stories. I made another one! This is a very special episode of Photographer Stories for two reasons. Firstly I chat with a female photographer (finally) and secondly it’s a double episode, two female photographers at the same time! That’s like a two for the price of one episode of Photographer Stories, that’s good value! I speak to Shelley and Rebecca, two colleagues of mine who studied photography at a tertiary level and who are also awesome photographers and awesome ladies! We had a good chat the other night after work over cupcakes about them, photography, photographers, cameras, life and other shit. There is also an extra special secret message at the end of the podcast for you to decode. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, MRJ. p.s. Here is my Joel Meyerowitz boob fondling gif.

Hi and welcome back to Photographer Stories! Or should you be welcoming me back? Either way it’s been a long, long time, hasn’t it?

In this Episode of Photographer Stories I talk to a mate of mine, Melbourne’s Damian Young. You may have seen Damian’s website www.melbournestreetphotography.com.au, if you haven’t check it out. Damian and I have known each other for a few years but it’s only been in the last 12 months or so that I have really got to know Damian, he’s very good value. Damian and I chat about photography, cameras, film, life and loads of other shit. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Hi and welcome to Episode 12 of Photographer Stories. This episode I chat to a chap in Toronto, Canada that you probably know and if you don’t know him you should. His name is Bob Smith aka notraces. You may have seen a photo or two of two of his daughters Mae and Leah on either Flickr or Instagram. I chat to Bob about his history with photography, he’s been doing it a while. We also chat about cameras, film and loads of other shit. Bob talks about his new project about reconnecting with people and improving his handwriting called Text Less Write More which I think is a really cool idea, check it out. I hope you enjoy listening to it! Cheers! MRJ.
