Carol Golemboski

10/16/2024
Hello friends, thanks for checking out our latest session of the Diffusion Tapes. This time around we had the opportunity to catch up with our friend, Carol Golemboski. Golemboski is a photographer and is a Professor of Photography at the University of Colorado Denver. Carol Golemboski uses antiquated objects as metaphors in carefully staged scenes. In her creative process, she implements the use of black and white film and darkroom printing, combining photography, drawing, and photograms in ambiguous and provocative ways. In 2016, she published a book called Psychometry. She’s won numerous awards, and shown her work all over the place. Carol is a photo magician. We’re big fans of Carol and hope you enjoy our conversation with her.

Edward Bateman

10/31/2023
Happy Halloween! It seems so appropriate that today we release our episode with the 'wildly interesting" Ed Bateman. Edward Bateman is an artist and professor at the University of Utah, where he heads the Photography and Digital Imaging area. The work of Edward Bateman exists in a space between photography and printmaking, although his extensive use of 3D modeling technologies is not common to either medium. Using constructed and often anachronistic imagery, he creates allegedly historical artifacts that examine our belief in the photograph as a reliable witness. In our conversation, we chatted with Ed about his artistic journey, his interest in science, and his love of all things photography, especially when time travel is involved.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Diffusion Tapes. For our second episode, we talked with photo artist Molly McCall. Born in Monterey, California, Molly McCall was raised along the rugged California coastline of the Monterey Peninsula. Surrounded by infamous photographers, writers, filmmakers, and painters, their work provided an indelible appreciation and awareness for nature and inspired her to pursue a creative career in art and design. In this Tape, Michael and Blue discover Molly’s rich family history in the arts, her varied career paths, her dedication to the craft of photography and the photo community, her life philosophies, and even her interest in motorcycles and guns (eat your heart out Keanu). We even learned she has a strong distaste for REO Speedwagon. Recorded Sep 7, 2022. These are the Diffusion Tapes...
