About this episode
Marcus Haslam is a photogr apher from the south of England who has retraced his roots in the north to make pictures of his hometown. Blackpool has changed a lot over the years and you’ll hear about his motivation to make the project, what he found and what he’s doing with the images now that he has them. It was wonderful to catch up with a friend and former colleague. More about this show: A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
