SPx Podcast w/ Joe Hamilton: EP 70 Herb Snitzer 10-20-20

Episode 4055,   Oct 22, 2020, 06:14 PM


On this episode of SPX, Joe visits with legendary photographer Herb Snitzer, a longtime resident of St. Petersburg. In a non-stop career than spanned more than 50 years, Snitzer - as a professional on assignment for Life and Look magazines, the New York Times and other publications - created dozens of now-iconic images of the great jazz musicians of the 1950s and beyond. He discusses his self-described job as a "visual historian," his thoughts on photography as an art form, and why he prefers to work in a darkroom, perfecting his prints, rather than shooting things digitally. Other topics include the business of selling limited-edition prints and Snitzer's important role as a chronicler of the civil rights movement in America. #spx #spg #stpetecatalyst #stpete #florida #tampaay #radio #radiostpete
