Welcome to Season 2 of the Diffusion Tapes. We spent some quality time with the illustrious Ann Jastrab for this episode.

Ann Jastrab is the Executive Director at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel California. Ann grew up in the village of Whitsboro, New York. She studied literature and art in college and received her MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Since then she’s been an educator for multiple organizations, a master printer, editor-in-chief, gallery director, executive director, portfolio reviewer, and master of the universe. She still carries around a wooden view camera.

In our conversation, we chat with Ann about her journey as an artist, educator, and all-around champion of photography. Some of the notes we hit are about building community, portfolio reviews, curating exhibits, and collecting photographs (some influenced by liquid courage). We love Ann, and she is f’ing smart!

Recorded January 5th, 2023. These are the Diffusion Tapes...
