"Ultimately, despite the contemporary subject matter and modern details, we see a unique honesty and are struck by the strength and determination of these skaters. "They are purposeful and courageous, open, playful and supportive. "I admire their respectful and shrewd fight for a place in the world." A quote from the BBC News article that prompted Simon to reach out to Jenny and we are sure glad he did. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-53739203 Things we chatted about on the show: Like a wild animal caged in a zoo and poked at by small children Andrew, goaded by Simon and Jimmy Hickford was given some space to have a mini rant about a few things. Don’t pay too much attention to him as he is old and senile. During our regular catch up section, Jenny told us she had been making some lumen prints during lockdown using RC paper and some old expired colour paper. Lumen prints are some of the easiest ways to make photographic prints and read about them here and see some of the beautiful images created by Natasha Sanchez. https://www.natashasanchezcreates.com/lumen-prints#:~:text=A%20lumen%20print%20is%20a,experiments%20in%20the%2019th%20century. Andrew mentioned arthrotypes which wasn’t at all the correct term – it was Anthotype. https://www.alternativephotography.com/anthotypes-anthotype-process/ Friend of the show and sometime video editor Jimmy Hickford drew our attention to Czech photographer Marketa Luskavova. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark%C3%A9ta_Luska%C4%8Dov%C3%A1 Jenny spoke about Erik Mathy who makes LF lenses from Dollar bills! – he is featured in the upcoming Analogue Forever Issue 2. https://www.analogforevermagazine.com/features-interviews/film-review-ride-slow-take-pictures Jenny is related to Alma Lavenson one of the members of Group f64 View her work on Google. https://www.google.com/search?q=Alma+Lavenson,+photographs&safe=active&rlz=1C1GCEU_enGB846GB857&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAOPgE-LSz9U3MEnPjjcqUQKzkw3Ly5LLtKSyk630k_Lzs_UTS0sy8ousQOxihfy8nMpFrFKOObmJCj6JZal5xfl5OgoFGfkl-elFiQUZxTtYGQGr3JmMVgAAAA&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjDm-32x73rAhV2UBUIHaY8Ct4Q_AUoAXoECBIQAw&biw=1536&bih=850 Jenny is proud to be associate with the Skate Like A Girl organisation http://www.skatelikeagirl.com/ Jenny wishes to thank her publisher, Daylight Books https://daylightbooks.org/ Jenny’s links Check out the BBC article that kicked all this off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-53739203 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jennysampsonphotography/?hl=en Jenny has her Skater Girls book out soon and orders can be taken via her website or your local book store. http://www.jennysampson.com/ And last but by no means least Jenny began collaborating with other artists during lockdown to make reimagined pictures of classic photographs, but they all had to incorporate toilet rolls.
