**   "Serendipity plays an enormous role in my work. I create the possibilities for accidents to happen." -- Robbert Flick   "I’m very interested in the uncanny and a way to find something mysterious or terrible within everyday life." -- Gregory Crewdson   In this episode, Antonio and Ward start, as usual, by discussing recent book acquisitions, including books received by Antonio, such as “Sons) of the Living” by Bryan Schutmaat), Fred Hertzog’s) )“Black) and White”), Anne Noggle’s) )“Flight) of Spirit,”) and Ward’s order of a book on Japanese female photographers titled “I’m) So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now.”)    Subsequently, they dive into the aesthetics of the “uncanny” in photography, exploring how certain images evoke a sense of unease and elucidating the potential for these unsettling moments to serve as powerful storytelling devices. Ward shares a captivating photograph taken in New York, while Antonio discusses the significance of presenting students with Garry Winogrand’s thought-provoking work, encouraging them to interpret street photographs beyond their surface.   They also contemplate the role of serendipity in photography—those serendipitous, unplanned moments that elevate a photograph to greatness—and whether this can be cultivated through practice or is merely a matter of chance. They emphasize the importance of openness and attentiveness in capturing these unexpected gems and share personal anecdotes of moments when seemingly disparate elements aligned perfectly, resulting in photographs that felt almost predestined.
