We talked about how he went from growing up in the Chicago area, to being a full-time mechanic, to spending all of his free time photographing local wildlife, to living on the road and filming projects about things as diverse and big-game hunting and tiny home living.

My guest on the episode is Ben Horne. Ben is a large format film photographer based in The San Diego Area. Yup, that's right, large format- the kind where the film is the size of a family portrait and you get to put a cool hood over yourself when you're setting things up.
Ben's approach to photography is incredibly refreshing and his photographs are full of soul.
I think you're gonna love it.
