Street photography suits grain more than we think, and by allowing our cameras to work with noise rather than against it, we allow ourselves to push our creativity rather than boxing it in.

In this episode we discuss the differences between fine grain and digital noise, why bumping your ISO up creates more decisive moments and pushing your camera past its limits.

In this episode, I discuss the history of the OM1, from it's original release in 1972, a famous SLR for it's size, features and slim design which changed the game for film photographers. We also dive into Olympus's later releases like the Micro Four Thirds system OM1 and the key differences between the past and present.

Does the original OM1n still stand out today or does the newer OM1 Mark 1 & 2 stand out more?
