About this listen
This episode of the Makers Movement Podcast dives into the world of memory, place, and handmade storytelling with Nashville-based tintype photographer Aidan Higginbotham. Aidan’s creative journey began among friends and vintage cameras, leading him to master 19th-century analog processes and breathe new life into forgotten large format equipment. His haunting, hand-crafted images do more than capture faces—they hold moments, places, and emotions that linger well beyond the flash.
Join us as Aidan shares how slowing down with film in a digital era has shaped his art, why nostalgia and a sense of place are central to his work, and what it means to make something deeply personal with your hands. Whether you’re a maker, a collector, or someone who treasures the objects that anchor you to a favorite memory, this conversation will inspire you to add intention (and a little magic) to your own creative life.
This month’s theme: “Something that reminds you of a favorite place.” Find a handmade piece that takes you there, support a maker, and tag us @makers.movement to join the community.
Choose handmade. Choose story. Happy listening!
