In life, some folk are very good at finding lids on boxes were actually meant for bursting through. And some folk just don’t seem to frequent boxes that have lids at all. And then there are the folk who ask, what’s a box? Today a man for whom labels and boxes have been something to fear, something to loathe, but then more latterly something to embrace. Meet Ian Treherne, ‘the Blind Photographer.’  https://www.photographydaily.show/episodes/ian-treherne-the-blind-photographer-pt1

This weekend, there's an Access All Areas interview with Blurb Books evangelist Dan Milnor. Today a shortened preview, a part of that show where he talks about patience and how social media has perhaps untrained that sense and enforced a requirement to post to post to post.

Close to my home lies one thousand hectares of 'free to roam' common land, covered by heath, perfect for nesting birds, a safe haven for grazing cattle, visited every day by joggers and walkers. But once and not so long ago, it was an airbase. Ninety six nuclear war war heads aimed east were hidden in blast proof shelters and silos, watched over behind razor wiring by the dedicated women who formed one of the most famous cold war era peace movements and camps. Oh and there is a mystery of the 'nuclear disaster' that, well, 'never happened.' Pictures on the show page at www.photographydaily.show

Russell Ord must have one of the best jobs in certainly one of the most beautiful parts of the world; south west Australia. But it started due to what I often term as a happy accident. An oxymoron for sure you might suggest, but he injured himself doing what he loved, surfing, which essentially took him out of the sport at any reasonable competitive level. This wasn’t to stop him. He picked up a camera. He started to shoot and he's now considered one of the world's best surf photographers.

We first heard from the photography YouTuber Nick Page last week and today he returns as I ask; "Do you choose your genre, or does it choose you? Do you even need to choose one? But for those who feel they need to, when do you know you’ve found it?" Also Nick talks about chasing storms in America. Contact the show: studio@photographydaily.show

How are you? No, really, how are you? Today we continue our mini series on coping with these times as a photographer and I welcome to the show Scott Shillum, co founder of The Photography Movement, launched in 2017 with close friend Steve Wallington after they both lost close family and friends to suicide. It's a non profit org, which 'fosters a community spirit, where individuals of all ages can discuss mental wellbeing through the medium of photography.'

It's an odd concept granted, but Pulitzer prize winning photographer Cathal McNaughton has some thoughts about how his work in photography is adapting to meet new challenges our 'industry' faces.

Today's chat with Blurb Books ambassador Dan Milnor presented ideas that inspired me personally in terms of self-publishing my work and my thoughts. Gone went the, "Oh who would even be interested," concerns I usually have, to be replaced by two words; "What if?" Also, why scarcity can be so powerful.

I'm sure the answer to today's show title may well be yes, in times of travel again of course. Respected portrait photographer Saraya Cortaville asked herself this very question when she faced a creative crossroads.
