#226: You Want The Pixie Dust : On Taking Pictures

#226: You Want The Pixie Dust

by Bill Wadman - Tuesday, August 30, 2016

This week, we discuss the magic of things and the legacy of genius. Is Winogrand’s camera, Clapton’s Stratocaster, Picasso’s brush or Hemingway’s typewriter somehow imbued with greatness? In choosing the same tools as our heroes, do we secretly (or not so secretly) hope that a bit of their magic will rub off on us? Photojournalist Nicole Tung is our Photographer of the Week.
