#262 Photowalk: Mindfulness, street, film & other stories

We take a walk with our cameras and two special guests; Valérie Jardin, documentary photographer/international mentor and Keith Moss, street shooter and tutor with a love of film. Your letters into the show talk about the pleasure of owning and using a real camera, how what we make pictures of helps us find mindfulness, we talk about positivity, learn from a photographer about how cracks in the wall might just become his fine art future, I have a warning about keeping your camera bags zipped up and there's inspiration from former guests, including YouTuber Sean Tucker.
