10: Kate Miller Wilson - Making Photos about Autism and Connection

Today’s guest is Kate Miller Wilson. Kate is a mother, photographer and author. Our conversation begins with the photo that started a series of photos of her son who is on the autism spectrum. The series became the stunning book - Look Me in the Lens. The book is a combination of photos she made with her son and insights from her son about his experience of life with autism. Kate talks about how the book came to be and what it was like to create it. We also talk about Kate’s love of daily photos and the new love of her life - using a large format 4x5 film camera. Enjoy the show.

Your friends and family expect you to bring your camera to birthday parties and holiday dinners. You pick up your camera before the broom when your kids spill flour all over the kitchen floor.

Why are we taking all these photos in the first place?
