Prime Lenses Episode 13 - David Barth

Prime Lenses

David is the founder of a company called Pixii, a French based team of folks who decided to make a new type of camera. A digital rangefinder without a screen that seeks to reinvent the way that we engage with a high quality interchangeable lens system. I worked with David over a decade ago in open-source software and was stunned when I saw his face on the website for Pixii a couple of years ago. He’s passionate about his company and what they can make. He and his team are making something special and it was a real thrill to talk to someone making a camera. How often do you get to do that!?

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
