#408 PHOTOWALK: WE’RE NOT PHOTOGRAPHERS, WE’RE THERAPISTS WITH A CAMERA
FEATURING ED KASHI, CRAIG MOD AND FRIENDS
Today, we walk part of England's oldest road, the 5000-year-old Ridgeway, with the mailbag for a special letters edition. In the show, teaching photography to young creative minds, road trips in paradise, photo projects for the new year ahead, the why of life and photo making, revisiting Japan and a chance encounter that leads to a special portrait moment. Also thoughts from previous guests, including writer/photographer Craig Mod and VII Agency's Ed Kashi.
