"What I'm always trying to do is to make a picture that goes beyond a story."

"If you can shoot on the street, you can shoot anything."

-- Mary Ellen Mark

In this episode, Antonio and Ward begin with some "light" conversation about the aurora making a rare appearance in New York. Antonio reflects on the quiet satisfaction of finally catching a glimpse, even though his neighbors’ iPhones seemed to perform better than his carefully chosen Fujifilm setup. It wasn’t just about getting the perfect shot—it was about being part of the moment and feeling connected to something beyond the ordinary.

But the episode really finds its rhythm when the conversation turns to Mary Ellen Mark. Both Antonio and Ward admire her ability to disappear into the scenes she captured, especially during her time as the set photographer on Apocalypse Now. They talk about how her photographs of Brando feel less like production stills and more like windows into the very essence of his character, Colonel Kurtz. There’s a shared sense of respect between Antonio and Ward as they reflect on how Mark’s work goes beyond mere documentation—her images feel lived in, revealing moments that carry an emotional weight. It’s clear that discussing Mark taps into something personal for both of them: an appreciation for the kind of photography that isn’t just seen but felt.
