THIS WEEK ON A SMALL VOICE PODCAST...

Polish photographer Tomasz Tomaszewski on physics, philosophy, truth, freedom, progress, metaphor, bravery, wisdom and the appeal of lying in a hammock with a good single malt.

Full bio and show notes for the episode here.

“Most of the time when I was working for Geographic, I wanted my photographs to serve a purpose, to tell a story, or explain a person to another human being. But this time I only wanted to capture surprise, maybe, wonder, occassionally joy, amusement, but also discomfort. In short, anything but a desire to tell a story.” – Tomasz Tomaszewski

ALSO...

For this month's members-only Photobook Focus session, previous podcast guest Kirsty Mackay did a really great Zoom presentation last night of her book The Magic Money Tree (Bluecoat Press). Members: the video recording of that session is now available on the members area of the website.

Opening... 

I'll be going along to the BJP's Female in Focus x Nikon 2024exhibition at 1014 Gallery here in London on April 11th. Which, handily, is only a ten minute walk from my house. This year's award, which is 'designed to discover, promote and reward the remarkable work of women photographers' centred around the theme of 'renewal' and was won by Margarita Galandina for her project Ovoo and Alice Poyzer for Other Joys. 

There are also 20 single image winners.
