Josh Rose, photographer, writer, thinker, and the creative voice/director behind 'Humans are social,' an LA agency that believes in the incredible things people can do when they work together is my guest. We talk about the flow state of photography, photographing dance and the power of a stare! In the mailbag, finding the courage to enter photo competitions, tiptoeing through the rattlesnakes in Arizona, why wine tasting is like pixel peeping and finding the amazing golden hour light of LA. There's a new assignment set by Valerie Jardin for April and our choice of pictures for March's light challenge. See the SHOW PAGE for reference pictures and films. Our thanks to the Extra Milers and mpb.com.

Celebrated photographer turns author; Julia Boggio talks about her transition from being behind the lens, to going behind the 'typewriter' as we discuss her debut book Shooters. In the mailbag, we’re off to a modern-day henge called a denge, the catharsis making pictures brings, weddings - the responsibility, the stress, the pain in the SD card slot when someone in your family says; "You have a camera, could you just..." and I’d like you to help me search for ghosts, of an artistic kind. See the SHOW PAGE for reference pictures and films. Our thanks to the Extra Milers and mpb.com.

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?'

Based out of Australia, photographer, film-maker, and audio engineer Simon Lister is my guest. He shares his travel adventures on a motorbike and, "Love for exploring the untouched World, meeting people from different walks of life, photographing and filming what there is left of this ever-amazing shrinking planet." In the mailbag, letters and thoughts about ai, spooked by what hides in the shadows, trusting what you see, why gear actually DOES matter and February's Assignment winner.

A special edition where I walk with Paul Sanders, former Picture Editor for The Times, who thought he had everything he'd worked for and desired until reality visited. With his marriage and private family life failing, stress at unlivable levels, physical and mental health in sharp decline, Paul found himself atop Britain's infamous Beachy Head cliffs, contemplating an ugly end to this chapter. A 'guardian angel' had very different plans it would seem and Paul has now discovered still, a company strapline and a new personal way of life with a camera. He has earned many admirers for his meditative approach to photography and today talks candidly about the healing ways of photography.

Canadian photographer, educator, explorer, and writer, Dave Brosha captures the beauty of this world, whether it’s beauty in the most extreme environments nature has to offer, or the beauty of humanity. He speaks to us about saying "Yes" to opportunity. Also today, photographing your travels, jostling with photojournalists, the winner of last month's assignment and what is your WHY?

This week, I’m walking just west of London with the award-winning photojournalist and friend of the show, Jason Florio. It’s a show of two halves as we talk about becoming a photojournalist, including getting on the wrong side of a Taliban virtue unit, spending time with Mother Theresa one moment, and Keith Richards the next! In the ‘second half’ we informally launch 2024’s expedition to West Africa. If you’d like to register your interest for the adventure, email the show.

Steve Reeves' encounters making street portraits include short interviews that provide a real narrative to his photo stories. He talks today about making portraits on your doorstep and embracing the skill of listening. Also today, the power of the written word within blogs, more about producing your picture-a-day project and how being prepared to ask for forgiveness rather than requesting permission helped one photographer achieve a photograph she may not have had the courage to make otherwise. Be sure to visit the show and contact page to send your photo stories and share thoughts about what making pictures means to you. See the SHOW PAGE and our thanks to the Extra Milers and mpb.com.

Is obsession a wonderful photographic gift? Today, photographer Tim Booth talks about his obsession for making portraits, of hands. Show of Hands is a celebrated work, available as a book, and Tim shares the experience of finding a project quite by accident that has become a life's study. We're walking at Avebury today, a Neolithic World Heritage Site and in the mailbag; a Canadian white out, being carefree, cathartic and childlike with your picture-making, finding photographic mojo and small everyday carry cameras. And, it being the first Friday of the month, there is a new assignment set by one of America's finest colour photographers, Arthur Meyerson. See the SHOW PAGE and our thanks to the Extra Milers and mpb.com.

Our walking guest today is one of America’s finest color photographers, Arthur Meyerson. He's travelled the world, creating award-winning advertising and editorial photographs, as well as an extensive body of personal fine art imagery. He tackles the 'why' of making our pictures. Also today, an unexpected personal story turns into a special photo project, we ask who we are making our pictures for, and how photography helps the 'one day at a time' pledge for a courageous writer and listener.
