The Disappearance of Darkness – Robert Burley

Are we witnessing the end of an era? Robert Burley, photographer and associate professor with Ryerson University’s School of Imaging Arts, has documented the closing and implosion of Kodak, Ilford, Polaroid and Agfa factories in his exhibition and book, The Disappearance of Darkness.

In this episode of Photo Kibitz, Robert and I discuss photography at what could be the end of the analog era.
