I've long been fascinated by the photographs made by Wallace "Wally" Wilson in the 1970s-1980s; he was a professor of photography at the University of Florida when I was a kid, alongside other historic faculty like Jerry Uelsmann, Evon Streetman, Doug Prince, and Todd Walker. Wilson was part of an exciting time in the history of photography, as well as being a cool example of what I would describe as "haiku photography" -- although he would never have described his work that way.

Nina and Rubin meet in Paris and go shooting. Rubin's haiku book is finished and Nina's Duologues book is ready for pre-orders! It's a fun catch up with Welch-Kling!
Nina and Rubin discuss their approaches to photography and techniques they use to create meaningful images.
They discuss pairing or juxtaposing images to create a story or narrative;
They discuss the importance of a shift in scale and the role of adding "magic" or a personal touch to their images.
The conversation touches on the theme of transforming everyday life and ordinary objects into something special through the photographer's interpretation and vision.
