Thoughts, debate and personal ideas as we walk today. My guests, philosophical YouTuber, author, speaker and filmmaker Sean Tucker and international photographer, mentor and street workshop leader Valérie Jardin discuss publishing, the power of walking, travel and their personal why of photography. Oh, and extreme typewriting! Also letters from the mailbag on feeling caged, the power and study of hands in a photograph, plus a personal pilgrimage attached to the question of 'when is a photo story too personal?
