In this episode, John sits down with New York–based photographer Dave Krugman to trace his path from discovering the magic of the darkroom as a child to building projects that merge photography, storytelling, and technology. Dave shares how his fascination with detail and pattern developed into his signature neo-noir style, and how projects like Drive and Drip Drop became immersive worlds that connect community and art.
The conversation explores his background in psychology, his approach to networks and social media, and how those insights helped him become one of the earliest photographers to mint his work on the blockchain. Dave has played an essential role in shaping the market for photography in Web3, while also championing other artists by collecting their work and helping the ecosystem grow.
Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how methodical curation, community building, and creative experimentation can expand the role of photography. not only as an art form but as a way to connect and empower others.
