My guest today is Tim Clinch, a celebrated photographer known for his diverse and dynamic career spanning multiple continents. Having begun his career in London, he ran his own studio before embarking on a globetrotting journey that took him to Spain, France, and now Eastern Europe. His work graces top publications like Conde Nast Traveller and Forbes Life. Tim is renowned for his food and travel photography, with numerous books and prestigious awards to his name.

From the mailbag, Phil and Cathy are on the road – they’ve been to London to blast off into orbit, the story of an unloved football scarf from Scott Glasgow, the poem about riding life’s train that is a real truism, we’ll do a shutter sync, reveal the winner of last month’s assignment plus remind you of the current one, and Extra Miler Mike Venable reveals his own 'why of photography,' plus at the end of the show, a freak weather event!

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.
