Meagan Elemans didn't have a grand plan to become a photographer. However, when she noticed the power of the portrait she knew what she needed to do.

Matt Mort returns to the show to discuss what he's been up to for the past year. We discuss the YouTube channel he helps make videos for, Boy Meets World, and tattoos.
