#410 PHOTOWALK: EMPATHY AND A FASCINATION FOR PEOPLE
FEATURING PHOTOJOURNALIST ROGER HUTCHINGS
Roger Hutchings is an award-winning British documentary photographer who was mentored by the Magnum photographer David Hurn. Today he talks of a life spent making pictures about people and how they navigate their lives in the most extraordinary of situations. Also on the show today, your comments and letters: we revisit a letter from last week where Tony Lorenzo went about some pretty impressive detective work to find the identity of a mystery girl in a vintage photograph, two walks and a cycle ride that have helped to bring 2023 to a more positive conclusion and what’s lurking in the clear Canadian depths of Lake Simcoe?
