In this episode, Jordan Weitzman sits down with photographer John Gossage at his home in Washington DC. Gossage has been practicing photography since he was a young teenager, and got his first professional assignment shooting sports for the local Staten Island newspaper at the age of 14. He has worked in many capacities as a photographer and has exhibited widely, first showing with the legendary gallerist Leo Castelli in 1975 and more recently with the prestigious Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco. The heart of his practice, though, has lied in bookmaking, which he always considered to be the major leagues of the medium. In 1986 he published The Pond with Aperture which went on to become a cult classic. Since then, he has published over 30 books such as Berlin in the Time of the Wall, There and Gone, Hey Fuckface! and The 32 Inch Ruler.
