The one and only Arto Saari returns to the podcast to talk about his new sold out book "Bike Path" and how a personal project that helped make him fall back in love with photography turned into a beatiful new book published by Super Labo. During our conversation Arto talks about his recent photo exhibition "Concrete Currents" at the beautiful Aalto2 Museum in Finland, how the Bike Path project ended up becoming a book, what it's been like trying to curate and sequence two big projects in a row, how family life on the North Shore has been treating him, earning the trust and respect of the local population, and the important life lessons he's learned from living in Hawaii.

Photographer and Leica Ambassador Russell Shakespeare joins the podcast from his home on Austrailia's Gold Coast to talk about how he found his way from carpentry to photography and how a terrible car accident would end up changing the course of his life and send him on a creative journey through India that continues to this day and can be seen in Leica's short film "Streets of Varanasi".  During our conversation Russell talks about his early days in the Newspaper and Magazine world and how that shaped his photographic style, what he's learned from all the years he has spent traveling India and why he has continued to be so drawn to Varanasi, how he values the practice of being in the present moment and how it has influenced every aspect of his life from photography, to fatherhood, to surfing, where he draws the most creative inspiration from, and the advice he gives to others trying to find their voice as artists.

Photographer, brand ambassador, and mountain athlete Drew Smith joins the podcast to talk about his wild journey of growing up on a ranch in Montana and working jobs that varied from welding, to construction, to commercial fishing, to guiding, to search and rescue, to finally ending up with a camera in his hand and documenting the amazing adventures he was a part of, and slowing but surely developing a portfolio that would land him Clients like Patagonia, Roark, The North Face and so many more.  During our conversation Drew talks about how a 5 month road trip to Baja after dropping out of college would end up changing the course of his life, and how he worked his way through an insane list of jobs in order to fund the pursuit of the next adventure and his insatiable appetite for travel.  We also discuss how he found his niche in the world of outdoor adventure photography, started working with brands like Patagonia and Roark, what the behind the scenes of documenting alpine climbing adventures looks like, finally settling down after years of living in trucks and vans, what he's learned about life from the mountain characters he gets to be surrounded by, and the advice he gives to others hoping to one day have the chance to live out their own creative dreams.
