#342 PHOTOWALK: 1000 STRANGERS GAVE ME THIS ADVICE
In 84 days, across 48 states, photographer Imran Nuri made portraits of 1000 strangers on his 50-year-old camera and asked them for one piece of life advice. He tells his story alongside Extra Miler Jon Buscall who shares why the still image is still so important. We discuss being a ‘Jack-of-all-trades,’ how we fell in love with making pictures, the most unlikely imposter syndrome, not playing by the rules, ancient 'urban art' and rugged landscapes.
