aul and Dan return after a one-year hiatus to launch Season 2 of the Idle Hands Society. The conversation explores the shifting perspective that comes with milestone birthdays, the challenges of maintaining health as a creative, and the monumental task of editing a twenty-year photographic archive. They delve into the philosophy of sequencing a long-term body of work, the blending of documentary and street photography styles, and the evolving landscape of photographic institutions. The episode concludes with a look forward at Paul’s upcoming documentary project in Greece involving religious rituals and local folklore.

Dan, Paul, Ed Thompson catch up in an inpromtude episode of The Idle Hands Society Podcast. Sorry about the audio blowing out in a few spots; we recorded this gem unplanned using some very basic gear. As we’re getting into the slower months for our work, you’ll see us picking up the pace a little with the podcast.

We catch up after a little break to discuss the end of Dan’s first year at university, our collaborative project Adult Youth Club, the last art of maintaining friendships, and the Homeless World Cup.

Dan waxes lyrical about “LU cinnamon biscuits”, his new website, and his upcoming first exhibition at the Copeland Gallery. We discuss if it’s possible to make pictures about how we feel rather than what we see. Paul also discusses the imminent release of his first zine, Not so far.
