Photowalk: Random encounters with strangers
Listen now
Description
Photographer Daniel Meadows has spent his life documenting British society, using photographs, audio recordings, and short movies. He is the creative architect of a sublime idea: putting a bed, a darkroom, and a photographic studio into a 1940s double-decker bus, touring it to meet and photograph as many people as he could to document British life, which has become a historic gem. From the mailbag, Tony Lorenzo, who bought a 1930s family photo from a box in a market, which then became a life-long detective story, is back and this time, he’s been buying vintage pictures in Italy. Also, how to photograph mushrooms in a magical sense and a road trip that’s going to be an absolute life tonic. There’s a reminder of the March assignment and an invite to come to Scotland for a week on retreat. Links to all guests and features will be on the showpage, my sincere thanks to MPB.com who sponsor this show and the Extra Milers without whom we wouldn't be walking each week. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.
