<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">In this special extended episode, I spend the day with my good friend, documentary photographer Giles Penfound, once the head of photography for the British Army, now a passionate ambassador for the slower, more intentional world of film photography.</p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">We’re in the darkroom together, where Giles takes the film I shot recently in India and brings it to life. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on in that red-lit sanctuary, or what it means to wait, to watch, and to witness an image slowly emerge from nothing, this one’s for you.</p> <p class="">Even if you’ve never stepped into a darkroom, there’s something in this about patience, process, and friendship that I hope might just land with you.</p> <p class="">It’s part workshop, part fireside chat, and at times it gets deeply personal. Over a cooked breakfast in a feature I call In the Fryer, I ask Giles some tougher questions, the kind you only ask a friend you trust, and the kind that lead to answers you don’t always expect.</p> <p class="">This is a story about time and about why film photography, with all its waiting and wonder, still has something powerful to teach us in a world that wants everything now.</p> <p>Links to all guests and features will be on the <a href= "https://photowalk.show/episodes/giles-penfound-printing-love-photography" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showpage</a>, my sincere thanks to <a href="https://www.arthelper.ai/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Arthelper</a> and <a href="https://www.lowa.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LOWA</a> who sponsor this show, plus our <a href="https://www.photowalk.show/patreon" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Extra Milers</a> without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.</p> <p>WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available <a href= "https://photowalk.show/why-a-sketchbook-of-life-book" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In this holiday archive special, I’m joined by two remarkable photographers whose work has shaped how we see the world: Joel Meyerowitz and Ed Kashi. Both share how they found their craft, revealing personal stories and the ethos that guides their creative lives. I think, this will stand as one of the most inspirational editions I have edited for the Photowalk show.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Joel reflects further upon his time documenting Ground Zero in the Aftermath project of 9/11. As the only photographer granted unrestricted access, he created a comprehensive archive that stands as a testament to resilience and remembrance to this day. He shares how this experience reshaped his perspective on photography and its role in chronicling history. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ed talks with me about ’The Sandwich Generation,’ a deeply personal project where he and his wife, filmmaker Julie Winokur, documented their journey of moving cross-country to care for Julie's ageing father, Herb, who suffered from dementia. Through this intimate lens, Ed discusses the emotional complexities of caregiving and challenges the common misconceptions about photojournalism, emphasising its capacity to tell profound personal stories beyond the headlines.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">This episode is about the narratives that shape our understanding of humanity and the measures of success that go beyond accolades.</span></p> <p>Links to all guests and features will be on the <a href= "https://photowalk.show/episodes/joel-meyerowitz-and-ed-kashi-interviews-photowalk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showpage</a>, my sincere thanks to <a href="https://www.arthelper.ai/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Arthelper</a> and <a href="https://www.lowa.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LOWA</a> who sponsor this show, plus our <a href="https://www.photowalk.show/patreon" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Extra Milers</a> without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.</p> <p>WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available <a href= "https://photowalk.show/why-a-sketchbook-of-life-book" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Canadian landscape photographer Lee Nordbye hikes climbs, and skates with a camera in hand, embracing what he calls mountain therapy to navigate life and mental health.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">In this episode, Lee shares how time in the Rockies helped him following an unexpected career change and a battle with depression. He's now giving back by teaching, guiding, and using his lens to inspire a connection with nature. This is a wonderful conversational meander where we talk about healing, creativity, and the quiet power of the wild.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Also, on the show from the mailbag, Paul Friday’s trying to coax us into photographing underwater, but after hearing what’s coming up, I’m not sure I’ll even risk a paddle in the bath. Chris Smith’s found his own kind of mountain therapy in the Lake District, Chris Hale is getting wistful about a hiking trip with his wife, and Myles Barfield is discovering a quiet comfort wrapped in the morning mist.</span></p> <p>Links to all guests and features will be on the <a href= "https://photowalk.show/episodes/lee-nordbye-podcast-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showpage</a>, my sincere thanks to <a href="https://www.mpb.com/change" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">MPB</a>, <a href="https://www.arthelper.ai/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Arthelper</a> and <a href= "https://www.lowa.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LOWA</a> who sponsor this show, plus our <a href= "https://www.photowalk.show/patreon" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Extra Milers</a> without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.</p> <p>WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available <a href= "https://photowalk.show/why-a-sketchbook-of-life-book" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
