#407 Photowalk: A near death experience and photographic epiphany Nov 10, 2023

Show notes

Aged 31, Australian Police Officer Duade Paton's sudden surprise heart attack and near-death experience introduced him to a new life, walking and making photographs of the birdlife of his extraordinary country. Moving out of the city to a small cottage in 130 acres of bush with his wife, he's been planting trees and recording the wildlife of his new home. Now also a YouTuber who spends his time helping others to find photography, Duade talks very openly about his experiences and why creativity is a tonic for physical and mental health.

Also today from the mailbag, a letter imploring you to spend less time looking in life's rearview mirror, shops that sell everything, a postcard from Lake Huron and a magical trip to Iceland. We also reveal the winner of last month's assignment about the 'beautiful game'.

#406 Photowalk: Walking Japan and the joy of pizza bread Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

For a show made out in nature with a microphone, camera and mailbag, today's guest fits like a well-loved and fitted favourite walking boot. Craig Mod is a walker, author, prolific maker of books and photographer. We discuss his long walks across Japan, his love of traditional Japanese country 'tea-drinking shops' called kissaten, making newsletters, his spiritual food pizza toast, the palpably personal nature of his latest work and more.

Also today and from your walking letters; photographing on the street, how bold do you need to be and what is all the fuss about street work anyway? The illegally felled historic tree, Sycamore Gap and why the end is not the end. More of your postcards and travels with a camera, the follies of England-land and a powerful PS asking you to look up to the words of Marcus Aurelius.

#404 Photowalk: The Voice of Peace Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

Can art and the spoken word be a voice for peace? Today, following the appalling events of a violent week in the Middle East, I discuss the "Greatest communicator you've never heard of," Abie Nathan; an Israeli humanitarian and peace activist who founded the Voice of Peace radio station which broadcast from a ship in the Mediterranean, with broadcaster Robbie Owen. For two decades it transmitted a message of togetherness and brought together all cultures, beliefs and nationalities to discuss peace across the region. Also, Valérie Jardin, our street mentor, talks about making collections of pictures and there are letters about self-belief, a photographic pilgrimage, the muscle trains of Australia and motivation to venture out with a camera.

#403 Photowalk: In space, no one can hear you click! Oct 06, 2023

Show notes

Kamal X is an astronaut with a camera, though the missions he flies, the planets he visits, are both familiar and alien. Today he talks of friendship, healing, and his latest book; Black Astronaut, The Stars Belong to the People.

From the mailbag, photography as a treatment for stress, anxiety and PTSD, a newfound passion for making pictures, a rumble in the jungle, a postcard from The Fall, graffiti pictures, a trip to London, and quiet Croatian dawns. Also, did you spot the error from last week's show? News about the Scottish retreat in 2024. Since it's the first week of the new month, there's a fresh assignment, set by portrait and fashion photographer Craig Fleming.

From the mailbag, a whirlwind pictorial trip to Alaska, postcards that don't have to boast vista-like views, places on photographic bucket lists, what's 'Mickey Mouse' about weddings, the beauty of the British lakes, why printing your pictures is better than hoping Insta will reward you with likes, plus our friend, artist and podcaster Jefferey Saddoris muses about original work being our finest.

#401 Photowalk: Still haven't found what I'm looking for Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

Is the joy of what we do about the answer, or the search? I find upon the shore of Loch Ness, Steve Feltham, the Nessie Hunter, convinced that there is 'something' beneath the surface of Scotland's most famous loch. In the early 90s, Steve boarded an old library van, leaving the 'rat race' behind to travel from the south of England to the Highlands of Scotland and whilst he hasn't found the Loch Ness Monster, yet, he has found something arguably more significant, about life.

Also today, dive bombing gulls, a rampant panda, we climb aboard the RV 'Stopped Life in the Fast Lane for Life in the Life Land,' we go for an audio walk with an Extra Miler in Australia, witness a perfect Greek island sunset, laze on a surfboard and escape to the deserts of our lives.
