This is not a podcast about photography, this is a podcast about Rachel and her life since the Summer of 2019. Over the last 18 months, long time listeners to the Sunny 16 feed will have noticed that Rachel has not been present on the podcasts in the way she was before. As our listeners are the best, and many people have asked after Rach and enquired about her wellbeing during this time, and more importantly because she's at a point where she feels able to talk about it, I virtually sat down wit...
