It's assignment day where our special guest, Valerie Jardin sets a photography challenge or a way to think about your picture-making for the next week. It’s a challenge for everybody, whatever interests you have and today, we're asking you to think about humour.

I would love to share the pictures you make for this challenge on the SHOW PAGE from where you can also send in the pictures you make.

My thanks to MPB.com and our Patrons for supporting the show.

A photowalk show featuring your letters on how you feel about making pictures; all about the why not the how. This week on the walk I chat with the internationally respected underwater wrecks and cave photographer Alex Dawson. Also, more on the right to roam, loving woodland, why skateboarding is just like photography, personal inspirations, breathless pictures, and the house clearance that made a photographer. All links and pictures on the SHOW PAGE, with thanks to MPB.com and our Patrons.
