The Keeper Frame
One photographer, one picture they kept, and the whole roll around it. Each week two hosts tell the true story behind a single photograph: the life of the person who made it, the frames on either side of it, the ones that got cut, and the twist the caption never told you. Some episodes follow the legends and some follow ordinary working photographers from the archive, and every episode ends with one plain idea about seeing that you can take to your next shoot.
Hosted by Mae and Gus, performed by synthetic voices. Sources are in every episode's notes.
