I Dream of Cameras #31 Sissi Lu Who

The centerpiece of this episode is an extended interview with film photographer Sissi Lu, known to denizens of New York City as the Lady with the Hassy. She’s a street shooter and a portraitist and a TikTokker and a YouTuber, and her passion for photography is infectious. It’s one of our best conversations yet, so TOON IN! But first…

• A manageable mailbag!
• Marie Nikondo is RUTHLESS! Check out our Instagram for some cameras Gabe is offloading, and feel free to DM him and float a trade!
• and then, our conversation with Sissi Lu, featuring
  • strategies for street photography
  • the allure of the Hasselblad (and how it’s different than shooting a 35mm SLR like her Nikon F3)
  • building a community of like-minded shooters
  • forging a connection with your subjects
  • the challenge of leaving the house with only two or three cameras
  • designing the ideal camera bag
  • using the self-timer (yes, she uses it)
  • favorite film stocks (spoiler: she loves Lomo 800) and her second favorite New York film lab (picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom in Chelsea)

Sissi Lu’s website, Instagram, TikTok, and her UNDER DVLP channel on YouTube

I Dream of Cameras #30 Sidewalk Crouches at Her Feet (feat. Jessica Devic)

This episode’s a few days late, so Rolfe Tessem gave us a hard time: “Who do you think you are — Moonlighting?” YES! Here’s a show worth waiting for:

• an extravagant mailbag, featuring talk of Canons and bulk-loading
• 3D-printable leader-trimmers from Thingiverse:
  • One for normal film: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4557581/files
  • ABLON style, for Leica bottom-loaders: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1951048
• Gabe went to the Morrison Hotel Gallery show and met legendary rock photographers Bob Gruen and Henry Diltz
• Jeff made a pilgrimage to the KEH brick-and-mortar store in Atlanta and came away with a Konica Auto S3 rangefinder and a 28mm Nikonos superwide lens which can only be used underwater
• he also got a lovely Canonflex R2000 on eBay, report to follow…
• however! the Canon Dial Rapid he bought from a guy in Portugal did not work, and the seller initially refused to pay for the return shipping. Remember, gang: eBay policy is, if a seller fails to provide means of returning the item, eBay can issue a refund without you returning the item first.
• finally, our interview with brilliant Toronto-based photographer Jessica Devic

• folding camera recommendations
• listeners' favorite instagram feeds
• the teeming masses demand pinhole coverage!
• a new source for The Thingy (a.k.a. the 675 hearing aid battery to PX625 adapter) — Polar Bear Camera. They also sell on Etsy!
• Gabe’s trip to Albuquerque, including a visit with the Bill Nye of analog photography, Cameradactyl’s Ethan Moses
• the state of vintage camera shopping in Albuquerque
• Jeff’s trip to Philadelphia, where it was so cold the SX-70 battery shut down — plus his favorite travel camera, the mighty Olympus XA4
• Gabe’s photo shoot with the Contarex Bullseye
• Jeff’s continuing adventures with the Voigtländer Perkeo
• Bergger Pancro 400 does not get along with CineStill Df96 monobath!
