The B&H Photography Podcast Memorable Moments from 2019

Published: Dec. 24, 2019, 8:49 p.m.

It\u2019s hard to believe that another year of the B&H Photography Podcast is on the books and, as has become our way, we close out the year with a casual conversation about our most memorable episodes from 2019. But before we get started, a recent count showed that we have listeners in all but 15 countries. To us, that\u2019s remarkable, and we\u2019d like to offer a very heartfelt thank you and best wishes for a happy holiday season to all our listeners around the world. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions for photography conversations in 2020.

Allan Weitz starts off today\u2019s show with a few of his favorite 2019 episodes, including our talk with photographer Stephen Mallon, who documented the recovery of Flight 1549\u2014referred to as the \u201cMiracle on the Hudson\u201d\u2014from the icy waters of the Hudson River after its forced landing in January 2009. On that episode, we welcomed Denise Lockie, a passenger on that flight. Allan also mentions our conversations with Albert Watson and Vince Aletti as favorites and our chats on car photography with Nate Hassler and on D.I.Y. camera makers.

For his part, Jason Tables starts his list with our episode on storm chasing and extreme-weather photography as a favorite. He also recalls \u201cThe Copyright Infringement Superhighway\u201d with attorney David Deal, our talk with photographer Corinne May Botz on her series \u201cMilk Factory,\u201d and our hilarious and insightful conversation with portraitist Mark Mann.

John Harris begins with some of the 2019 episodes that performed best in terms of number of downloads, some of which surprised us. He also discusses a few of his favorites episodes, including \u201cConflict Photography\u2014Motivation and Consequence.\u201d Other memorable episodes he mentions are \u201cCommitment to Community\u2014Rhynna Santos, Michael Young, and the Bronx Documentary Center,\u201d our talks with rock photographer Mick Rock and photojournalist Shahidul Alam, and, of course, our conversation with actor and photographer Jeff Bridges.\xa0
