About this episode
PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY ANCHOR is something that's said by one of my three guests today. A friend of the show, Andrew Gifford, through his Glass profile, describes in pictures the most potent personal photo project, which conveys how it feels to have M.E. in a story of resilience. Then Dana Stirling's book 'Why am I sad?' is a testament to just how important creative expression is during times of adversity, and a former guest of the show Jack Lowe, who'll be appearing in a longer interview early in the new year, shares a very special project called 'A photo for you,' probably one of the simplest but most profound ideas I've heard about this year. Also, from the mailbag, Melissa Berman finds that her late uncle was somewhat of a photographic legend as his pictures of New York in three decades from the 60s go on display at one of the world's most prestigious photo events, Craig Wilson is celebrating originality, Rikki-Paul Bunder has set himself a weekend photographic challenge with rules of curiosity and the photojournalist Peter Dench has a reminder for December's assignment. 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 .
