Photographers, gallery co-curators, and dads Richard Colon and Quajay Donnell join host Emily Hessney Lynch for a conversation about photography, Rochester, community, and fatherhood. In the first half of the show, we discuss how photographing different parts of Rochester helped them get to know the city, their goals of prioritizing community over competition and uplifting underrepresented artists with Behind the Glass Gallery, and how normal it's become to meet people from the internet IRL.
