Hit The Streets With Valerie Jardin

This week I have the pleasure to share my conversation with humanitarian photographer, author and adventurer David duChemin. Through selected quotes from his book A Beautiful Anarchy, we talk about living a creative life. You will love David's wisdom. Enjoy! 

Together guest co-host Elizabeth Gray and I answer questions about whether or not people need to be included in the frame to qualify as street photography, how to handle a confrontational subject on the streets and how to know if you are ready to make money with your photography.   

This week I introduce you Gina Williams. I met Gina last year during a workshop in Paris. A few months later I found out that after her trip she had made the decision to pursue her life long love and talent for writing and combine it with her passion for photography. And she’s been very busy every since. This is one of those stories that shows that with passion, determination and a lot of hard work, you can really make things happen for you!
