THE SPOOKY PARK BENCH

Oh hey. Hi. How are you guys? Us? Yeah we're good. Just been chatting to RAY BARBEE.

 

This week we had the unbelievable fortune of getting to speak to a true legend. Skate hero, photographer and a beautiful soul. We talk gear, what drives him and his stripped back, no bullshit approach to making images.

 

It was a genuine honour to get to speak to this man. We hope you enjoy it!

When people think of cool guys with beards they might think of a young Oliver Reed or a group of pirates drinking rum and beating a villager to death. I'll tell you who we think of. A Canadian man with a passion for creativity and a heart of pure gold. 

 

His name is Kyle McDougall, and he's on the podcast. 

 

Kyle is a photographer, editor, DP, podcaster and YouTuber. 

 

On this weeks episode we chat to Kyle about being true to yourself, enjoying the creative process and editing film.
