Description

In celebration of those who inspire us, those who become either knowingly or unwittingly our mentors and greatest teachers, today’s episode revisits the show’s archive to take a photowalk with former British Army and documentary photographer Giles Penfound, my dear friend and mentor for two decades.

Giles is currently on a sabbatical from social media and digital posting, although his projects such as Home Town Stories continue to be a feature of his personal photographic story; pictures made about the people of the town his lives in, often within walking distance of his home. 

We talk about that project, the ‘rules’ of documentary photography, his life making pictures in areas of conflict, plus his conflicted mind over some of the images he made and witnessed. Our conversation for the podcast was part-made walking the ridge above England's famous Watership Down and his garden exhibition space.

This is the second special to air as I spend time in the Highlands on the Scottish Photowalk Retreat 2024.

Links to all guests and features will be on the showpage, my sincere thanks to MPB 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.
