Episode 19: Michael Rubin and Classic Photos




PhotoActive show

Summary: <p>Conversations about photography can lead to unexpected places. Although Jeff has known Michael Rubin since the days when they were both writing technology books for Peachpit Press, it wasn’t until recently that he learned about Michael’s extensive collection of fine-art photography. Of course, he had to introduce Michael to Kirk, which resulted in this episode where we enjoy an enthusiastic conversation with Michael about two prints in his collection: Arnold Newman’s “Igor Stravinsky, 1946” and Elliot Erwitt’s “New York City, 1950.”</p> <p><strong>Sponsor</strong></p> <p>Neomodern treats your photos like art, offering simple, affordable concierge printing and framing.
