Andrew Paynter: Why not quite fitting in makes for a great photographer.

Andrew Paynter is an incredible photographer. One of the best. He sees inside the subject. There are ancient peoples who fear having their photograph "taken" as they feel it steals their soul. I don't know about that but I do know that the best photographers see inside the soul. Andrew is one of those. He describes the camera as giving him the chance to meet people and talk about their lives. He grew up looking West to California (for skateboarding), and East to the UK for music. I grew up looking the other way. He sat on the edge of everything, never quite fitting in. This is a skill. This living on the edge is magic. Change happens at the edge and Andrew is adept at capturing it unnoticed. One of the nicest people I have spent time with. The podcast is beautiful and imperfect. We lose the audio through skype for a minute or so but like a great photograph it is important to capture the imperfections. I hope you like listening to this one half as much as i liked recording it.
