#382 PHOTOWALK: AND YOUR SUPERPOWER IS…
Viktor Hübner spent two years hitchhiking across America photographing and interviewing the people he met by chance during a time of political confusion and upheaval. He seems to have found a superpower, and he shares it today. Also, a film about dad and the echoes of time, 365 inspirational help for those making picture-a-day projects, the answer to last week’s pictorial 'quizette' about ai where we asked you to identify the real photos from those made from zeros and ones. We talk about the right to roam and I make a 'schoolboy error' attempting to make a picture for the latest assignment.
