RETHINKING PHOTOGRAPHY

I do this podcast because my heart beats for photography and photographic images. In particular, I am interested in the importance of photographic images today for society, for education, for our children and the future. On the one hand, I want to know how do artists and scientists deal with the concept of photography. On the other hand, I ask how do we all deal with photographic images in everyday life and how will it perhaps be in the future.
