The Photowalk

#516 Standing where Orwell stood


Listen Later

This week, I talk with Craig Easton, and the conversation embraces AI, trust in photojournalism, and how a still photograph can still hold its own. But the heart of this chat sits on a Scottish island. Picture a house at the end of a single-track road, miles from anywhere, no shop, no pub, just weather, water, and time. This is Barnhill, on the Isle of Jura, where George Orwell came to live and work while writing Nineteen Eighty-Four. Craig travelled to this fabled place to make his new book 'An Extremely Un-Get-Atable Place'. This is a conversation about place, curiosity, and paying attention.

On today's walk from the mailbag, Jade Lee discovers just how powerful it can be to swap pictures with people in other countries, Jean-Maurice Cormier shares some thoughts on travel and street photography, and Phil Ferris appears to be listening from the shower in what may or may not become a formal complaint, all while we pack coffee, biscuits, film, and a copy of 1984 into our camera bags.

Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond.

Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.
