Summary

Chris Porsz is an amateur photographer who has been documenting his community of Peterborough, England as a street photographer. His candid images of strangers document a particular time in the life of a town and its people, which is made all the more poignant by his recent rediscovery of these same subjects. His then and now portraits reveal not only how people have changed, but how the town has as well. Working as a full-time paramedic, he has created all of his images using his personal time, making him an a great example of how a photographer can make significant work even without becoming a "professional. You can discover more about him and his work by reading this article or visiting his website. Chris Porsz recommends the work of Don McCullin.

0:00.0	It's October 11th, 2010, and this is the Candid Frame. Welcome to another episode of the show.
0:30.2	As some of you may already know, I've made some changes to the website and the feed.
0:35.1	In terms of the feed, all the episodes are now available via the
0:38.4	iTunes store or as well as other podcast aggregators. So it's now a lot easier to access
0:44.5	the archive of interviews that I've been producing over the last three and a half years. So if you
0:49.4	want to catch up on any of the 100 plus episodes, go to the iTunes store and you can begin listening now.
0:56.3	The website has also consolidated my various web presences, including my own photo blog and website.
1:02.5	The blog is going to be changing in the coming weeks as well as my website to now feature my
1:06.8	evaluations of camera equipment and software that I use. It's not going to be the kind of
1:11.6	exhaustive reviews that you'll find on sites such as DP review, but rather be based more
1:17.1	on my own personal experience of using the equipment and software in my own personal work.
1:22.6	It's an experiment of sorts, and I look forward to hearing your feedback on it, so check it
1:26.9	out and let me know what you think.

1:41.3	such a photographer whose decades of work focusing on his small community in Peterborough, England,
1:47.2	demonstrates how a long-term commitment to personal photography can strike a corn.
1:53.1	His rediscovery of subjects from his street photography from over 25 years ago
1:57.9	is a fascinating exploration of not only photography, but also time, change,
2:03.8	and aging. It's also a great story and a perfect addition to the interviews here at The Candid Frame.
2:10.4	So sit back and enjoy our conversation with Chris Porch.
2:15.4	Well, Chris, welcome to the candid frame.
