About this episode
Today, I'm joined by Henry Hargreaves, a visual artist and food photographer known for his boundary-pushing photography projects that are often and sometimes literally deliciously simple, tackling complex social and commercial issues. One of his most thought-provoking works, No Seconds, explores the haunting last meals of death row inmates. With a unique blend of this simplicity and deep social commentary, this project invites us to reflect on mortality, choice, and humanity in unexpected and impactful ways. Also from the mailbag, Adam Hanson finds renewed mental health through walking and photography, Mike Mixon is finding detail in his pictures he doesn't remember seeing when he took them, John Kenny has some thoughts about covert pictures of strangers for a street project, some news about The Photowalk on Substack and Mike Miller has found a song that 34 years before the first recognisable modern social media channel came into our consciousness was giving advice about how we could best deal with the demands of a life watched over by algorithms. 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 .
