  • Some good, some bad. Sadly time to go.

    Loved listening to most episodes. But the politics has to go. Episode 457 caused me to unfollow the show. It was about nothing but left wing politics.

  • F stop and gate keep..

    Some interesting content. But seems like it’s mostly turned into a giant gatekeep fest and makes host and guests look like elitist spot snobs… if you’re not in their circle then you don’t deserve to know a location..

  • Love the discussions

    Inspiring conversations about photography and nature/landscapes. I will say the editing and cutting mid sentence is very unnatural and difficult to listen, save that for Tik Tok

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Photographing the Magic of Sápmi | Hanneke Van Camp
Q: What role does printing and book design play in her practice?
Printing is essential for sequencing and storytelling; collaborating with a book designer improved perspective, helped select and order images, and created a physical artifact that complements on-screen work.
Photographing the Magic of Sápmi | Hanneke Van Camp
Q: How do you balance artistic expression with documentary responsibility in a project like Sápmi Living Landscapes?
She emphasizes documentary responsibility without claiming to be a journalist, aiming to communicate a broader picture, be respectful, and involve the community by talking to people while not professing to tell every aspect of the story.
Photographing the Magic of Sápmi | Hanneke Van Camp
Q: What sparked the focus on long-term storytelling in Sápmi and Northern Scandinavia?
The motivation grew from living there for extended periods, a biology background that heightened ecological awareness, and a desire to tell a broader story that includes culture and conservation rather than just landscape visuals.
Photographing Yellowstone in Winter | Kathy Lichtendahl
Q: What are some best practices for visitors to Yellowstone in winter to minimize impact on wildlife?
Know and follow distance rules (25 yards for most animals, 100 yards for bears and wolves), stay quiet, avoid forcing animals, and be mindful of the animals' need for food and safety in deep snow.
Photographing Yellowstone in Winter | Kathy Lichtendahl
Q: How do you balance conservation storytelling with the practicalities of photographing wildlife in extreme cold?
Focus on understanding animal behavior, keeping a respectful distance, and avoiding disturbance; use naturalist knowledge to anticipate actions and capture meaningful moments without altering the animals' behavior.
