#383 PHOTOWALK: QUIT. START AGAIN.
Scott Chouciño changed his photographic career direction completely during and following the pandemic. He embraced quitting at a time many creatives were clinging to whatever social or financial life raft made available. It was a 'plan' that worked. From portraits to food and filmmaking. Also today from your letters into the show, fighting the MojoDemon, a Sicilian monochrome adventure, abandoned movie theatres and looking forward, not back. It being the first Friday of the month, we have a new photo assignment which now takes its place as the 'Feature roughly in the middle of the show'.
Email your stories, thoughts, and pictures to the show. If you can optimize/resize photos to 2,500 pixels wide, that’s always much appreciated. If you’d like to support this show and have access to further content and the midweek Extra Mile show, we’d welcome you as an EXTRA MILER. There’s also our thriving Facebook group, a safe place to meet and talk with photographers of all interests, plus the show is featured on Instagram, VERO and Twitter.
As well as our Extra Milers, we’re also supported by our incredible friends at MPB.com who have believed in this show from the get-go; the number one platform in the UK, US and Europe (with bases in Brighton, Brooklyn and Berlin) when it comes to buying, trading or selling quality used kit online. They help us as photographers to tell our unique stories by providing a safe place to buy, trade and sell the kit we need and in doing so, we become a part of the sustainable circular economy. With guarantees upon kit purchased, buy used, spend less and get more at MPB.com.
