Tobias Yoder joins the show again! It’s been 6 years since he was on the show and I’m so excited to have him back again. This time around we chat about making a detailed plan for a shot, especially one with incredibly unique weather conditions, in this case including an erupting volcano with a bird! We also talk about the joys of photographing things that cannot be planned and how emotional attachment often makes photos better to the person who captured them. We wrap up the discussion talking about Tobias’ time away from sharing on social media and how very recently has started sharing more again.

My guest Justin Theurer joins me to discuss spending more time working with owls, specifically Northern Pygmy Owl, keeping a positive attitude about going out and working on project focused outings, and his transition and push to be a full-time professional wildlife photographer.

My guest Matthew Dolkart joins me to chat about spending time and really working your local patch to gain knowledge and understanding to help betting your photography. We also discuss how seeing a hummingbird building a nest in urban Chicago sparked his interest in bird photography and how cool it was to see that bird return to the same spot year after year. Then we wrap up the conversation talking about his push towards more moody photos lately, what that means, how he is trying to achieve it, EMO bird week, and many other fun topics, hope you all enjoy the show!

Richard Flack joins me to discuss how he has put less pressure on his own photography lately and how many of his favorite images are all from near his home. We also have a conversation about the personal challenges I’ve been going through and struggles I’ve felt over the last year with my wildlife photography business. It’s an in-depth conversation about this side of being a full-time wildlife photographer and we think you will connect with many aspects of it even though it’s likely not your profession. Thanks as always for all of your support and for following along.
