Humans, A Podcast

In this third long awaited episode I had the pleasure to interview Pierre Lombart, a man of many facets: architect, patron of arts, husband, human being. What was supposed to be a quick 30 minute interview turned into a beautiful life experience of 1 hour.    Pierre is currently involved with Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art (http://saffca.com/) whose mission is to promote, encourage and support the visual arts of the Southern African Region. He has been the first individual from the continent to join the international friends of documenta. Similarly, he has recently joined the acquisition committee of Photography department of the Centre Pompidou in Paris and has been invited to join the friends of the Whitechapel Gallery in London. He was also at the helm of GLH Architects (http://www.glh.co.za/) for many years and drove the firm to great success.     He is also the author of the book “For the love of being” which you can read for free on the following link:    http://saffca.com/publishing/f

    In this second episode I had the opportunity to interview Christian Parkinson. Christian is a British camera man working for the BBC mostly in Africa, specialized in conflict zones. He is the father of a boy and happily married. In this interview he guides us through his life experience in Africa as well as his path to reaching what he calls the best job in the world. He recently wrote a book called Camera Confidential as a way of helping young people to get into the media and news industry. Filled with military anecdotes of war zones experienced during his life, there are some very good gems in this longer than normal interview.   You can check his book on Amazon on the following link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Confidential-Succeed-Video-Journalist-ebook/dp/B01I71JKR2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1468159300&sr=8-13&keywords=camera+confidential&linkCode=sl1&tag=wwwcaparkinso-21&linkId=1023fc13bef13a7340fb99a13ae3e3cc   You can follow him on the following links on social media

  In our very first episode I had the opportunity to interview Emily Gray. Emily was recently chosen as part of the Springbok team, set to represent South Africa at the Rio Paralympics in 2016. In this candid interview, Emily tells us about the hard decision that changed her life and how adversity opened the gates to the life of adventures as a high performance swimmer. One of the most important lessons learnt during this podcast was how hardships are part of a bigger plan, that catalyse development into something far deeper than we ever dreamed off.   You can follow Emily in the following links on social media: Twitter  @EmilyAnneGray_ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/EmilyAnneGrayPage/   Enjoy!
