You’re listening to our long-awaited season finale. Well, I don’t know if you can call nearly two years of slow-releasing a season, but I’m going with it. It’s been a crazy time for all of us so I’m pleased to close out this chapter of the Tapes by sharing my conversation with Ken Rosenthal, one of my most favorite people I’ve met while publishing Diffusion.

Ken Rosenthal received a BA in still photography from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, and an MFA in photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His artwork is represented in the US by Klompching Gallery, New York; Etherton Gallery, Tucson; Dolby Chadwick Gallery, San Francisco.
Rosenthal’s monograph Days On The Mountain, with essays by George Slade and Rosenthal, was published by Dark Spring Press in April 2019 in trade and limited edition book + print sets.

In our Tape we talked about him growing up in LA, receiving his first Kodak Instamatic from his parents. His father, also a photographer, at one point owned a camera store on Wilshire boulevard. We talked about Ken going to local clubs and shooting bands, studying photography in college, and later moving to New York, almost on a whim. Later in the chat, we dive into his more recent work and the publishing of his book by Dark Springs Press.

Recorded April 29th, 2019, All conversations are recorded face-to-face. These are… the Diffusion Tapes.]]>5be48d7d70e802b1ff246b56:5be4a16289858308482553a0:5f97b210f7781765a03ecc4dTue, 03 Nov 2020 12:00:00 +0000The Diffusion TapesWelcome to Diffusion Tape no. 10 with photographer Ken Rosenthal.
