This episode was a great adventure. It was a pleasure to chat with Diane about her work and get to know her more. I really loved that she photographed her whole book with an iPhone proving you don’t need a fancy camera to make great work. *Trigger Warning* our conversation did get a little heavy discussing depression and suicide, we also got into the common theme on the chat about community. Her book holding hands is all about human connection and I feel that is something that really resonates with
