Have you ever found yourself mesmerized by a childhood slideshow, each frame a stepping stone on the path to your future? Simon Devitt, a renowned New Zealand photographer, joins us to share a laugh and trace the serendipitous journey from those familial beginnings to the pinnacle of architectural photography. With his camera, Simon captures more than structures; he documents the intersection of human experience and design, reminding us that every picture holds a story waiting to be told.
This episode is like a well-curated gallery walk, guiding you through the delicate art of 'slow photography' and the profound influence of fleeting moments. We debate the gifts and curses of digital technology in the creative world, all the while drawing lessons from tennis courts and kitchen organization. Simon's vivid recollections, from selling cameras to working with Sir Ian Athfield, illustrate how those who walk with us, even briefly, can redirect the course of our creative rivers.
Join us as Simon imparts the wisdom gained from teaching photography to architecture students—lessons about presence, observation, and the surprising creativity borne of stillness. And just when the path seems too solemn, Simon lightens the trek with his spirited views on balancing online professionalism with the joy of sharing a good meme. We wrap up with a poignant reminder of the power behind capturing the essence of architecture, knowing full well the conversation is far from over, as we navigate our own storied landscapes.
