The whole process turned into a street studio of sorts. We’d look for a white wall, something on the fly and very simple, amidst a busy city. I found that it required someone, as subject, to be generous or not embarrassed to go through the process with me. I met several people like that, and I think part of that willingness comes from feeling ignored otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, the people I got to know on the Nine, which is local speak for that block of South Ninth Street in Modesto, got to know me and a few details about my past including a cousin and childhood friend who both succumbed to drug use. They recognized me as someone who wasn’t interested in exploiting their misery for personal or aesthetic gain, but rather someone who wanted to get close to a reality that, on the whole, our society doesn’t want to acknowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’d rather not think of ourselves as capable of making the kinds of mistakes that lead to living in conditions or a place like the Nine. I wasn’t interested in depicting prostitution or drug abuse or the ever-present violence. We’ve seen those movies and know those stories, and over time, we disconnect.

I can’t stand working with too many people because it draws my focus away from whom I’m interacting with. Also, to bring a big crew into a space like the Nine would be disrespectful, and it sends all the wrong message about our motivation. In truth, we made every amateur hour mistake. Of course, we know how to make pictures, but approaching a scene with a photographer’s sensibility as far as framing and content and interjecting into the scene was just wrong. As Hannah said recently, we just went through the equivalent of five years of film school. From that perspective, I’m looking forward to photographing again, but I’m also excited to make another film based on all that we’ve learned from this experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11467416\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Katy Grannan, 'Joe Talks on Phone, Budget Inn Courtyard, Modesto, CA,' from the series 'The Nine,' 2012.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"899\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11467416\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-768x575.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katy Grannan, ‘Joe Talks on Phone, Budget Inn Courtyard, Modesto, CA,’ from the series ‘The Nine,’ 2012. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are your thoughts on the Pop-Up Magazine events?

The whole process turned into a street studio of sorts. We’d look for a white wall, something on the fly and very simple, amidst a busy city. I found that it required someone, as subject, to be generous or not embarrassed to go through the process with me. I met several people like that, and I think part of that willingness comes from feeling ignored otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, the people I got to know on the Nine, which is local speak for that block of South Ninth Street in Modesto, got to know me and a few details about my past including a cousin and childhood friend who both succumbed to drug use. They recognized me as someone who wasn’t interested in exploiting their misery for personal or aesthetic gain, but rather someone who wanted to get close to a reality that, on the whole, our society doesn’t want to acknowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’d rather not think of ourselves as capable of making the kinds of mistakes that lead to living in conditions or a place like the Nine. I wasn’t interested in depicting prostitution or drug abuse or the ever-present violence. We’ve seen those movies and know those stories, and over time, we disconnect. I wanted to portray what life is like most of the time, which involves conversations about ambition, hope and regret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11456351\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 450px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"Katy Grannan, 'Anonymous, Modesto, CA,' from the series 'The Ninety Nine,' 2012.\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11456351\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-450x600.jpg 450w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-400x534.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-768x1025.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-884x1180.jpg 884w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-1920x2562.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-1180x1575.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Anonymous-Modesto-CA-2012-960x1281.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katy Grannan, ‘Anonymous, Modesto, CA,’ from the series ‘The Ninety Nine,’ 2012. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You worked with your studio manager, photographer and assistant director Hannah Hughes.

I can’t stand working with too many people because it draws my focus away from whom I’m interacting with. Also, to bring a big crew into a space like the Nine would be disrespectful, and it sends all the wrong message about our motivation. In truth, we made every amateur hour mistake. Of course, we know how to make pictures, but approaching a scene with a photographer’s sensibility as far as framing and content and interjecting into the scene was just wrong. As Hannah said recently, we just went through the equivalent of five years of film school. From that perspective, I’m looking forward to photographing again, but I’m also excited to make another film based on all that we’ve learned from this experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11467416\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Katy Grannan, 'Joe Talks on Phone, Budget Inn Courtyard, Modesto, CA,' from the series 'The Nine,' 2012.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"899\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11467416\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-768x575.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Joe-Talks-on-Phone-Budget-Inn-Courtyard-Modesto-CA-2012_1200-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katy Grannan, ‘Joe Talks on Phone, Budget Inn Courtyard, Modesto, CA,’ from the series ‘The Nine,’ 2012. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are your thoughts on the Pop-Up Magazine events?

But, I think that people respond to candor, to authenticity, to talking about experiences. I created something especially for Pop-Up that involves photography and some conversation clips about the film. But it’s also about our experience, it’s personalized, and I hope that people understand the shared humanity that’s captured in the film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
