What the heck is this week's podcast about?

PerceptivePhotographerWeblogoPerceptive Photographer Episode 7: Photography is about problem solving

In this episode we look at how much of photography is about figuring out how and why things work. From a bad day in the darkroom resulting in some problems I had never seen before causes me to think about all some of the things that we have to figure out when working as a photographer. Learning gear, sorting out problems in the field and ultimately figuring out how to make our images better is really a lot of the day-to-day work of the average photographer.

In conversation with Jenny Hansen Das

Mar 5, 2026 |

n this episode, I’m joined by Seattle-based fine art photographer Jenny Hansen Das for a conversation about exceptions in photography and working with galleries. Jenny’s work blends analog and digital processes, with a focus on everyday moments presented in unexpected ways. She experiments with alternative techniques like cyanotypes and image transfers, creating handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces. She’s also the founder of The Seattle Light Room, a community darkroom and gallery in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood. Explore her portfolio at jennyhansendas.com, find her community darkroom at theseattlelightroom.com, and follow her on Instagram at @jennyhansendas and @theseattlelightroom.
