In this week’s episode of The Decisive Moment, Charles Moriarty and Carrie Kania talk with curator (among many other things) Brandei Estes about photography in 2025 and what lies ahead in 2026. We also pay tribute to the late, great Martin Parr; not only a great photographer but one of the most generous and encouraging people in the world of photography. He will be very missed.
