Full shownotes and photos here: https://allthroughalens.com/ On this episode, we talk to Imran Nuri (@nuristudios on IG), who spent a few months traveling through 48 states asking strangers for life advice before taking their portraits. We’ll also tell you about a traveling photographer who might not have actually existed. And speaking of traveling photographers, Vania is on the road right now (thus the crickets!) as we speak and will tell us all about how her trip is going. There’s also the answering machine, zine reviews and so much more… But real quick before we start… here’s the link to Eric’s new book: https://conspiracyofcartographers.bigcartel.com/product/expired-vol-2-photographs-on-dead-film Imran Nuri – 48 States Full of Life Advice This past summer, photographer Imran Nuri spent three months living out of the trunk of his car. He traveled to 48 states and asked over 1000 people if he could take their portraits, but more importantly, if they could impart upon him some sort of life advice.

Here are a few of his portraits: Vania on the Road! Vania got a couple of rolls developed on the road! And here are a few shots: Eric’s Day at the Fair! Eric went to the Evergreen State Fair and shot black & white for some reason: Mary Winslow Or Maybe Not Since none of Mary Winslows photos exist now (or maybe ever), we don’t have anything to share.
