Our latest guest brings us a new and unique perspective to the New York City running community as someone who extremely connected without being much of an avid runner themselves. Parker Feierbach is a photographer and their work has been featured on the cover of Runner's World, Esquire, BICYCLING, Runaway Mag and many other great publications.

Parker lives in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, so we took our podcasting gear to their favorite coffee shop. In this wide-ranging conversation, we delve into their background in anthropology and how it's helped them photograph stories that come from within the subject matter as opposed to just an observer. Their ability to photograph runners one handedly from a moving bicycle in traffic was astounding to our hosts at Orchard Street Runner races so we touch on their background in the cycling world.

Parker is an extremely thoughtful and considerate person. They are very outspoken about native rights and transgender equality. Our conversation meant a ton to us and made me think more deeply about the art of photography. We hope you enjoy the show as well.
