On this episode of Photo Geek Weekly, Don is joined once again by the wonderfully geeky Steve Brazill for a discussion on new camera systems, engineering marvels of past and present, and technology that I still can’t completely fathom is possible… all related to photography and how it impacts our lives. Get ready for another fun episode!

Good to have you back in North America Don. By the way, several of my partners in the gallery knew/know those Kodak engineers who worked on the spy satellite project. One thing that boggles the mind is how someone made a reliable mechanical system that advanced the film, packed it in a container, attached a parachute and threw it out of the satellite. And how many times per satellite? 10… 20… ? The article said they exposed over 100 miles of film. How many satellites was that? I’d love to know more about his project. Maybe I can find a video on it. I have to go searching.
