It's not every day that we have the opportunity to post two of our personal friends here on the Vault, but hey, now's the time. TMR staffer and all-around sweetheart Jamie Goodsell conducted an interview with the master of the Mold-A-Rama and long-time compadre with all things Third Man, Kevin Carrico. They touch on all sorts of topics from film photography to his history with early White Stripes videos and even to CGI. The whole interview is very thoughtful and intimate, which is something we know Jamie has about him naturally. Pour a cup of coffee and have a read here!

Kevin Carrico Interview
This seems like a great place to share this collection of images… Simply stunning!!! http://hyperallergic.com/270663/the-first-flash-photographs-of-the-natural-world-at-night/
@Macwacky likely in that place where Nobody Knows How to talk to Children when the Room is too Little for everyone to respect the personal space of others…
Not to take away from Kevin here, but I came across this recently and it’s an incredible read that’s right up the ol’ Third Man alley: “The Polaroids of the Cowboy Poet”— https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/lifestyle/earnshaw/
@macwacky, didn’t that get posted someplace we both know once upon a time?
where can we see the Ford/JBL commercial with Jack from England?
Maybe we will get some updates in the vault news on future projects…
Honestly… I think there is a lot beong left unsaid in this community. I appreciate these features and getting some insight into the items in the vault all the same but a few contemporary issues in Detroit are making history at the moment and it would seem they are being completely glossed over as if they are not central to things unfolding here…. So I wonder if Kevin was at the new Cass store or maybe he has done some film work associated with Detroit’s dubious social concerns??? I wonder if he has a page or blog somewhere…
And that idea of analyzing paintings with a spot meter is pretty fascinating. Great way to learn the dynamics of lighting from the masters who literally captured it by hand.
“Knowing how means you’ve learned a few things that always work, yet understanding means being able to constantly apply anything you’ve ever learned to things you may have never done before.” <— That’s a life lesson that can be applied to so much more than just photography. As is his definition of “finding the light”.
That was a refreshing expedition into light and sound! Thanks for sharing so much Kevin and well planned questions from Jamie too… My thoughts/feelings about still work and lighting are very much the same to be honest.. This quote “But to the question I’d have to say that a great image (regardless of the technicalities of getting it), is an image which expresses or exhibits the subject in a way that doesn’t distract from the subject, while still being interesting to the viewer after seeing it more than once.” .. So important when it comes to leaving the audience a place in the composition! All that musing on lighting and spor metering was great reading also. Overall this article was very insightful. Just Thanks!
