About this episode
This week's show follows a journey that stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic, five days, 2,845 miles by road, from LA, through Vegas, Denver, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, finally reaching New York City, and then a week at sea aboard the Queen Mary 2. I travelled with the photojournalist Marissa Roth, helping her bring home six precious heavy cases packed with nearly half a century of negatives; work that spans everything from Women and War, her lifetime project on the human cost of conflict, to assignments that shaped her long career behind the camera. Together we crossed America before sailing for Southampton with that extraordinary cargo. There were wrong turns, long drives and high North Atlantic waves, but more than anything, a reminder that photographs hold stories worth carrying safely home. Also on the show, special guest John Plews, a Titanic expert and fellow passenger shares facts about a ship made famous by tragedy. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page , my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai , giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here .
