#243 PHOTOWALK: PHOTOGRAPH STRANGERS YOU MEET, CAMERA BAGS & OTHER STORIES
Each Friday we take a walk with our cameras, a microphone and a mailbag with your thoughts and ideas about photography and what making pictures means to you. It's the only location show of its kind and today we talk about our addiction to camera bags, how our lockdowns have inspired photo projects and skills, more van life, being a radio DJ, making random portraits, putting on a solo exhibition, nerves, honesty and making photo stories about the strangers we meet. The show is supported by MPB.com and our patrons.
