“When I photograph, what I’m really doing is seeking answers to things.” -- Wynn Bullock

“If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.” -- Jim Richardson

In this episode, Antonio and Ward reflect on photography’s unique role in preserving memories and stories. They discuss the importance of visual media literacy, highlighting how critical it is to go beyond just taking photos—to truly “read” images and understand the narratives they capture. Antonio shares his interest in teaching these skills, noting an upcoming workshop designed to deepen understanding in this area.

They also touch on how photography serves as a bridge to the past, preserving moments that can evoke powerful emotions or insights upon rediscovery. Through examples and personal reflections, Antonio and Ward examine how images can be more than visual records—they’re a way to keep memories alive, capture personal history, and connect us to our own stories and those of others.
