In this episode, Kirsten speaks with award-winning nature photographer Jake Mosher. If you’re a subscriber to the magazine, you’ve seen his stunning landscapes and detailed macro photography in our April and Autumn issues last year.

Jake grew up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, right near the Quebec border. He spent his childhood immersed in nature, often taking off to fish, hunt and explore the great outdoors and develop his survival instinct. But the Vermont landscape was changing, and so immediately after finishing college he headed west to Montana. As he says “I believe that perhaps now more than ever, as our world hurtles along with technology none of us could have imaged even a decade ago, there's great value in viewing and trying hard to preserve the wilder places around us.”

They chat about the wild places he’s been and the changes in Vermont that drove him West. Jake discusses how development is changing the landscape of Montana, the grit it takes to reach some of the remote locations he likes to photograph, and some of the misadventures that have hit him while out alone in the field. Tune in to learn more about the hidden places through a photographer’s eye.
