  • Great show

    Awesome listen if you’re into photography or just like something light and entertaining. The lads are great together and have some cracking guests, although even when it’s just the two of them it’s a great laugh.

    Would love to see some more unknown street photographers on the show too.

    Great work. Keep it up!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Greg Mo
Q: What's your take on black-and-white photography in Asia and how do you see your future projects evolving?
Greg expresses openness to returning to black-and-white and exploring roots with equipment like the Leica M6, while noting that color often suits Southeast Asia's life and light; he envisions diverse vocabularies and continued exploration across different regions including Europe and Haiti.
Greg Mo
Q: How do you approach ethics when photographing people in Asia and publishing their images in books like By The Mekong?
He explains that if someone doesn't want their photo taken, he won't push it, and that publishing decisions consider the dignity of subjects, balancing documentary value with avoiding clichés about poverty; he emphasizes consent in publishing and thoughtful curation.
Greg Mo
Q: Tell us how you got into photography and what drew you to the streets of Phnom Penh.
Greg describes starting as a teenager with disposable cameras in Paris, moving through Lomography and film for travel and daily life, and then embracing street photography as a way to record memory and culture, which eventually led him to Phnom Penh and Asia.
Peter Kalnbach, aka Street Nomad
Q: What motivated the formation of World Wide Streets and how does the nonprofit model work?
Peter describes a hip hop–influenced impulse to give back to the community; WW Streets started as a platform to showcase diverse work, run exhibitions non-profit, and reinvest proceeds into venue costs and printing.
Peter Kalnbach, aka Street Nomad
Q: When did photography first become a thing for you, Peter, and how did you start teaching yourself?
Peter explains he was always a visual person, learned with a small Micro Four Thirds camera, and used YouTube tutorials to study composition, gradually developing a sense of place and mood.
