#499 The courage to start

It's a street-focused week in terms of our guests, as Street Photography Magazine's creator Bob Patterson, and candid street photographer Valérie Jardin join me. More than ten years ago, Bob took a chance on an idea: a digital magazine dedicated to street photography. What began as an experiment on Apple's Newsstand is still here today, Street Photography Magazine. In this episode, we hear how it grew from a simple start into a space where photographers from around the world share work, ideas, and community. And Valérie is back to answer more of your questions in TEACH ME STREET. From the mailbag, Axel Trapp shares his new postcard project, Hannah Gimblett reflects on the strength of photography in the face of personal adversity, and Robin Chun talks of self-publishing. Plus, Jason Burton brings a story of patience, tying neatly into this month's One Word Assignment set by Ibarionex Perello. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.
