Andrew Baer on Discovering His Father’s Lost Photo Archive
About this episode
Andrew Baer discusses the discovery of his father's lost photo archive and the journey of bringing it to light.
What happens when you discover thousands of photographs your father made decades ago, including images you never knew existed? In this episode, Ashley Riffo and Bob Patterson talk with Andrew Baer about the remarkable story behind the work of his father, photographer John Baer. Andrew shares how four boxes of prints and negatives sat with him for 27 years before he and his wife, Megan, began uncovering what was inside. We talk about the years of scanning, research and detective work that followed, the extraordinary team that helped bring John’s photographs into book form, and what Andrew learned about his father along the way. We also hear about the creation of the John Baer Archive and Andrew’s hope that these photographs will continue to inspire new stories, art and interpretations for years to come.
