Episode notes
This week on Magic Lessons Elizabeth Gilbert advises Anne, a photographer in Pennsylvania. For the last few years Anne has been documenting her brother’s life. He’s a veteran with PTSD and a recovering drug addict. She imagines turning all this material into a photo-essay exhibit or book, but she’s afraid to take the next steps to make it happen. To help guide Anne, Liz calls up her friend Brandon Stanton, the photographer and creator of the photo series “Humans of New York.” Several weeks later, Anne reveals what she’s been up to since getting all this advice.
Special Guest: Brandon Stanton is the photographer and creator behind Humans of New York. He is also the author of two number 1 New York Times-bestselling books, Humans of New York and Humans of New York: Stories. Find out more about him at HumansofNewYork.com
