#223 Chris Grunder teaches photography at Sonoma State University and is a Director at the Bass and Reiner art gallery in San Francisco. Today we talk about contemporary art and the role that photography can play within it. This is a fun and deep theoretical conversation about why we shoot what we shoot. 

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • How Chris got into photography

  • How failing at his first few dozen rolls of film pushed him to shoot more

  • What is contemporary art

  • Why Chris moved to New York to work with commercial photographers after getting his masters in fine art

  • What makes up the difference between someone just started in fine art photography and an experienced artist
