#66 On Safari With The 120ist
 
In so many ways this show episode typifies what we love about making this podcast – it was just like being in a pub (or coffee shop) and having a chat with like minded folk about, mostly, large format photography.  The fact that the conversation wanders around is exactly what happens when you have enthusiastic guests and hosts getting together to ponder the thing that occupies their minds for most of the time.
 
Nick Davis is better known for his YouTube channel the 120ist – contrary to the title it isn’t just medium format film and cameras that feeds his content but his sheer love for film, the process, the ideas, creativity, trying new things and explaining what he’s doing in a “come and learn with me” approach.
 
 
Things we chatted about on the show:
 
Zebra Plates and various other LF related accessories for wet and dry plate working.

“Mr Zebra” has a really good You Tube Channel that’s worth checking out too. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lost+art+light
 
Nick recently purchased a pack of Zebra Tintypes and his latest video shows how he got on – here is a link to learn more about the history of Tintypes.

Guy Bellingham (former guest) and local to Nick gets a mention by Simon for the excellent video content on his You Tube channel.

The conversation wanders off to photographers who influence us, who we admire and some books about the “why” of photography.
