#386 PHOTOWALK: HELP! MY PHOTOGRAPHIC EYE HAS STOPPED WORKING?
We use photography and taking pictures to help with a myriad of positive mindful pursuits, but what happens when the enjoyment of picture-making starts to challenge our creative self-belief, leading us to doubt our work and achievements? My multi-disciplinarian guest Jeremy Bassetti, photographer, lecturer, travel writer and podcaster, believes he has an answer and he shares it today. From the mailbag, finding courage to make stories with complete strangers, happenstance on top of a mountain, and a portrait that changed one of our listener's life. We also start a new feature with Mali Davies, as he invites you to 'Find your tree'.
