#367 PHOTOWALK: OBSESSION, DO WHAT YOU LOVE
Is obsession a wonderful photographic gift? Today, photographer Tim Booth talks about his obsession for making portraits, of hands. A Show of Hands is a celebrated work, available as a book, and Tim shares the experience of finding a project quite by accident that has become a life's study. We're walking at Avebury today, a Neolithic World Heritage Site and in the mailbag; a Canadian white out, being carefree, cathartic and childlike with your picture-making, finding photographic mojo and small everyday carry cameras. And, it being the first Friday of the month, there is a new assignment set by one of America's finest colour photographers, Arthur Meyerson.
