#279 PHOTOWALK: A LIFE WELL LIVED MAKING PICTURES
Photowalking with your stories about making pictures and what difference it brings to your life. Today, a very potent and inspirational story recounted by my guest Nils Amelinckx, who aged 30 was told he had five years to live. Rekindling his love for photography, he decided to make pictures of his mountainous cycle rides as a legacy for his young family. Also today, quitting pro to take pictures only for you, chasing fog, photo plans for '22, shooting architecture and drone landscapes.
