Happy New Year friends! Last month I announced The Diffusion Tapes, a podcast where I chat with artists, curators, and writers working in the field of fine art photography. I've now published our first two tapes with George Slade and Lori Vrba. 

Jeff Louviere also has released the Diffusion Tapes theme song and made an accompanying video. You can stream or download the song on most music platforms (iTunes, Spotify, google play, amazon music, etc). You can also watch the Diffusion Tapes Dance Music Video and check out our first competition. I dare you to make an 80s dance video! All entries will be posted to our website and will receive a bodacious secret package in the mail. Winner will receive a customized 80’s inspired Diffusion Tapes t-shirt and all the glory of being deemed the “Most Bodacious Diffusion Tapes Party Dancer” with a shout out in the podcast of course.

Next up on the podcast: Heidi Kirkpatrick & Katharine T. Jacobs. Subscribe via your favorite podcast provider above, or stream directly off our website. If you're enjoying these tapes, please please please share on social media and rate us in iTunes so we can get more ears involved!

From the Editor

I briefly met Brian Culbertson two years ago but didn’t really get a chance to look at his work in person until I reviewed his portfolio this past October at Click! Photography Festival in North Carolina. I was instantly taken with the combination of process and concept and am excited to share his work with our readers. The drawback to viewing this work on a device/screen is you can not see the physical vestige of prescription medicine used in the salt print process. What you can see though is the texture and painterly colors the medicine added to the already unnerving portraits Culbertson has created to represent mental illness. His photographs are flawed, messy and slightly distressing, reflecting the many adversities individuals with mental illness have to face. I feel like Culbertson has raised a lot of unanswered questions here, I wonder if he’ll present us any answers or just leave us hanging. Either way, well done my friend! Thanks to Brian for sharing his work with us.
