Welcome to Season 2 of the Diffusion Tapes. For our second episode, we talked with photo artist Molly McCall.

Born in Monterey, California, Molly McCall was raised along the rugged California coastline of the Monterey Peninsula. Surrounded by infamous photographers, writers, filmmakers, and painters, their work provided an indelible appreciation and awareness for nature and inspired her to pursue a creative career in art and design.

In this Tape, Michael and Blue discover Molly’s rich family history in the arts, her varied career paths, her dedication to the craft of photography and the photo community, her life philosophies, and even her interest in motorcycles and guns (eat your heart out Keanu). We even learned she has a strong distaste for REO Speedwagon.

Recorded Sep 7, 2022. These are the Diffusion Tapes... 

Coinciding with this Tape, we posted an article about Molly’s newest body of work Truth be Told over on the One Twelve website. Check out Molly’s Poignant Portfolio written by Michael Kirchoff.
