#374 PHOTOWALK: HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE MAKING A BESTSELLER!

24 Mar

Celebrated photographer turns author; Julia Boggio talks about her transition from being behind the lens, to going behind the 'typewriter' as we discuss her debut book Shooters. In the mailbag, we’re off to a modern-day henge called a denge, the catharsis making pictures brings, weddings - the responsibility, the stress, the pain in the SD card slot when someone in your family says; "You have a camera, could you just..." and I’d like you to help me search for ghosts, of an artistic kind.

Email your stories, thoughts and pictures to the show. If you can optimize/resize photos to 2,500 pixels wide, that’s always much appreciated. If you’d like to support this show and have access to further content and the midweek Extra Mile show, we’d welcome you as an EXTRA MILER. There’s also our thriving Facebook group, a safe place to meet and talk with photographers of all interests, plus the show is featured on Instagram, VERO and Twitter.

As well as our Extra Milers, we’re also supported by our incredible friends at MPB.com who have believed in this show from the get-go; the number one platform in the UK, US and Europe (with bases in Brighton, Brooklyn and Berlin) when it comes to buying, trading or selling quality used kit online. They help us as photographers to tell our unique stories by providing a safe place to buy, trade and sell the kit we need and in doing so, we become a part of the sustainable circular economy. With guarantees upon kit purchased, buy used, spend less and get more at MPB.com.
