#250 PHOTOWALK: STONES, CROP CIRCLES, HEARING YOUR PICTURES & OTHER STORIES
A photo podcast unlike any other; a walk with our cameras and a photo mailbag in 'the wilds,' which this week is a UNESCO world heritage site, the Avebury Stones with 5000 years of history. This week understanding monochrome cameras, street shooting in cities again, having confidence in our work, hearing our pictures 'talk', personal projects, the first thing you see feature, photo biking and late developers. Inspirational words from Helen Jones-Florio, Tim Wallace automobile photographer, NZ's Matt Searles and VII Agency's Ed Kashi.

Until October 3rd 2021, we’re proud to partner a photographic outdoor exhibition in the south of England called Photo Swindon featuring three international photographers; Martin Parr, Jason Florio and Sanne De Wilde. It’s free and each photographer has their time in various parks and open spaces of Swindon to show a story, one at a time. Go to @photoswindon on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram for news, behind the scenes pictures and stories and latest news. So wherever you in the world, even if you can’t see it in person, you can still experience this outdoor exhibition curated by doc photographer Jennifer Berry featuring a collection of works with a shared title ‘In Sync – Natures of Togetherness,’ reflecting on a world coming together again after our isolation.
