Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 43: Wildlife Conversations with Sue Cedarholm
Q: What is Sue's approach to storytelling in wildlife photography?
She focuses on capturing moments that reveal behavior and context, so viewers are drawn to learn more about the animal and its environment, not just a pretty composition.
Episode 42: Wildlife Conversations with Cassia Rivera
Q: Is there a five-step abstract plan for evaluating a place and creating a wildlife crossing strategy?
There isn't a simple one-size-fits-all five-step plan; instead, decisions rely on years of data, identifying top hotspot areas from prior scientific work, and then tailoring crossing solutions to local conditions with a coalition approach.
Episode 40: Wildlife Conversations with Laura Dyer
Q: How do you stay creative in a place like the Mara where so many photos can be the same?
The Mara is very inspiring with epic skies, and I try to view every day as a creative challenge by playing games with myself, such as using different lenses or focusing on one specific animal.
Episode 36: Wildlife Conversations with Jim Shuler
Q: How has your profession as an eye surgeon informed your wildlife photography?
My eye surgery background has made me extremely detail-oriented, influencing my photography to focus on the minute details of the animals, especially their eyes.
Episode 35: Wildlife Conversations with Robb Hirsch
Q: Why is photography humbling for you? What do you do when you fail?
Robb expressed that photography is humbling due to the frequent failures in capturing the perfect image, but emphasized that the experiences in nature often overshadow these disappointments over time.
