In Tape no.5 I visited photographer and educator Ray Bidegain at his home here in Portland, Oregon. We talked about his youth, his journey from commercial to fine art and his general thoughts on the craft of photography. Ray also turned the tables on me for the last few minutes of the chat.

Recorded January 29th, 2019. All conversations are recorded face-to-face. These are… the Diffusion Tapes.
