gilespenfound

It's a very cryptic show title, I grant you, but the question is answered by my good friend, documentary photographer Giles Penfound, a former British army photographer who has found that the story he wishes to dedicate his life to, is now within walking distance of his home. We talk about his life making pictures in areas of conflict, those who mentored him during this time, plus his conflicted mind over some of the images he made and witnessed. Also, we chat about his plans now and for the future. Our conversation for the podcast was made walking the ridge above England's famous Watership Down.

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.

Giles Penfound sets you a challenge for the next seven days with his first assignment. An invite to slow down and think about your picture-making for this one. It's been wonderful to see the pictures you have been making from the assignments set so far, so please keep sending your photographs for inclusion on today's show page. Email through SHOW PAGE.
