About this video…
——————————————————————

Ten years ago, on my very first wander through San Francisco, I stumbled past a set of black/greenish doors with a bold “Hyde Street Studios.” I thought, “One day I’ll knock, one day I’ll walk the same corridors where some of my musical heroes made history.” Sadly, on my next SF trip three years ago, time slipped away, so there wasn’t time for any knock-knock jokes. This time, however, there were no more excuses. I had to go inside and soak up the ghosts of melodic greatness. And yes – I snuck into the microphone locker, where I had to handle a vintage Neumann U67, built the same year I was born. If that makes the mic vintage, then I suppose me too.

A big “Thank you” to Jack Kertzman (Studio Manager) for showing me around, I truly appreciate it. By the way, if you’re missing a vintage Neumann, it wasn’t me.

About Hyde Street Studios
Hyde Street Studios opened its doors in 1969 under the name Wally Heider Studios, and quickly became one of the most important recording addresses on the West Coast. Inside these walls, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young pieced together “Déjà Vu”, Herbie Hancock rewired jazz with “Head Hunters”, and Jefferson Airplane kept San Francisco’s counter-culture soaring. The Grateful Dead, Santana, and Creedence Clearwater Revival all left their fingerprints on the faders. Over the years the space has changed names but never its reputation: Willie Nelson, Tupac Shakur, Green Day, and even Kanye West have all made music within this sanctuary. Today, the rooms still buzz with the hum of an original Neve 8038 console, vintage tape machines, and a catalogue of microphones that would make any audio nerd weak at the knees. Hyde Street is not just a studio, it’s a time capsule of music history, with every square metre of carpet carrying the weight of a chorus, a riff, or a revolution.

What the f stop? About the book…
——————————————————————

Learn Photography with a smile.
This is not your typical “click here, set this” how-to book. It’s a conversation. A theatrical, sometimes sideways, often laugh-out-loud and occasionally scratch-your-head stroll through the art of seeing.

Framed and seasoned by tales, reflections, and a colourful cast of references, you’ll discover what truly matters in photography: understanding and feeling. And yes, camera settings too. Mostly, however, telling stories and painting with light.

No photos, no graphs, just vivid images painted with words, humour, and insight. If you love to learn with a smile, and you’re ready to make the technical second nature rather than second-guessing, this is for you.

Guided by award-winning stage performer, photographer, and storyteller Stephan Bollinger, a man with a weakness for metaphors and iced caramel lattes.
This is not a manual.It’s a novel with vision.

Now available worldwide on Amazon.com - https://bit.ly/4q4N37a
