Welcome! In our very first episode, we will be chatting with wildlife photographer Marisa Ishimatsu about her journey in the field, and finding peace along the path. We talk about herpetology... it's not what it sounds like... reading her father's journals, and when do we get to claim the title of "photographer" or "writer". Spoiler alert, you don't have to wait until you're published in National Geographic or the New York Times... This episode is packed with wisdom, laughs, and offers a unique lens into the field of wildlife photography, art, and stewarding the natural world.
