#375 PHOTOWALK: HELP! MY MIND IS MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE, MAKE IT STOP!
Josh Rose, photographer, writer, thinker, and the creative voice/director behind 'Humans are social,' an LA agency that believes in the incredible things people can do when they work together is my guest. We talk about the flow state of photography, photographing dance and the power of a stare! In the mailbag, finding the courage to enter photo competitions, tiptoeing through the rattlesnakes in Arizona, why wine tasting is like pixel peeping and finding the amazing golden hour light of LA. There's a new assignment set by Valerie Jardin for April and our choice of pictures for March's light challenge.
