#258 PHOTOWALK: STUMBLING INTO A WEAPONS ESTABLISHMENT & URBEX NORDIC STYLE
It's the photography show of the week that takes a walk with a mailbag and makes photos. This week we focus upon urban exploration with special guests Kimmo and Tanja from Abandoned Nordic. We reveal the lowest trick in advertising photography, we remember our parents' cameras, we launch the new 365 feature, hear about a photographer who has been exploring a part of China that was raised to the ground during the 2008 earthquake, tackle imposter syndrome and ask why we place so many walls around us when it comes to challenges as photographers. We also receive wise words and inspiration from former guests Karah Mew on finding a surprise chest of vintage photos, Misan Harriman on confidence and Nicky Heppenstall.
We’re supported by MPB.com who help you buy, sell and trade used camera gear in the US, the UK and Europe and I think it’s important to add that it’s a service I personally use. But today, don’t just take my word for it, here’s a few more words from Jan Erik Mostrom who is a definite friend of the show but knows what he wants when it comes to kit; “Neale I just want to say thank you (again) for bringing MPB to my attention, I traded some kit through them before, bought two cheaper cameras and a lens. But a couple of weeks ago I sent in all my Nikon F gear to trade for some Nikon Z gear. I expected to pay about 300 Euros once everything was done but they upgraded the condition of most of my gear and I got money from them instead. Thanks again for introducing me to MPB.com
