How the NPS tries to fulfill the two-pronged mission of preserving these special places while also helping people to engage and enjoy these places. The different roles of NPS, BLM, and the National Forest and how each of these different departments relate and how photographers might relate differently with each of these areas. What the Wilderness Office actually does. What philosophy and ideals he and his team try to instill in visitors to wilderness. How photographers are typically viewed by the Park Service.

I have been following Bryan's work for several years, ever since I moved to (and left) Portland, Oregon. Bryan is the creator of the incredibly comprehensive waterfall databases, Water Falls Northwest, and the World Waterfall database. He's also an incredibly good landscape photographer! Bryan and I got a chance to meet-up this past fall in Ridgway, Colorado and camped together for a couple of nights along with Trevor Anderson, another great landscape photographer out of Seattle.

Episode 042 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with Alberta Canada-based landscape photographers Darwin Wiggett and Samantha Chrysanthou! I have been really getting into the message that both Darwin and Samantha have been spreading through their photography and efforts with The League magazine relating to ethics in the field. The topic has come up frequently on the podcast and I really wanted to get them on the show to dive deeper into the topic and feel out their perspective. Samantha and Darwin are the founders and creators of oopoomoo have collectively been involved in photography education for over thirty years. In 2012 the two decided to join forces and meet a glaring need in the photo industry – to create a photography site that teaches original creative expression within a larger framework of what it means to be creative in today’s world. They called this website oopoomoo. According to Sam and Darwin, “we live in a time of unbridled consumption with far-reaching impacts on the planet, our fellow species and our children’s lives. Living the oopoomoo life means pursuing our unique, creative gifts with an awareness of the fact that we all live within a precious and fragile larger community”. As an offshoot of the oopoomoo philosophy Sam and Darwin have created a print outlet for artistic and ethically captured landscape photography called League Magazine which promotes excellence in photography and a love of nature as an ethical value. On both oopoomoo and in League, Sam and Darwin feature the stories and images of photographers who undergo the daily heroics necessary to live their best creative and ethical life. Sam and Darwin have received rave reviews for their fun and informative photo seminars, eBooks and eCourses on living the creative life in photography. We covered some great topics this week, including: Samantha and Darwin's journey into landscape photography and oopoomoo Ethics in nature photography The League Magazine - its purpose and inspiration The tension between various ethical principles Creating images that start conversations Special announcements: Please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon!

Eric has been recommended to be on the podcast by many photographers and I think if you've never seen his work before, you should go take a look immediately - it is world class!  Eric and I covered some great topics this week, including: How Eric got into Landscape Photography How photography can help preserve our wilderness Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument Becoming a full-time professional photographer and the concept that money is the result of the cause and not the cause of the result Backpacking The pros and cons of travelling for long amounts of time as a photographer Collaboration vs. competition Special announcements: Please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon!

Alex is one of the most down-to-earth artists I've spoken to and just oozes authenticity. We had such a great conversation (one of my favorites).  Alex and I covered some great topics this week, including: How Alex got into Landscape Photography Photographing hard to reach places Time-lapse photography Keeping his work fresh while trying to promote his book without sharing images from the book Critique The "online arms race" for self promotion and its impact on landscape photography The difference in processing styles between USA and European artists Special announcements: Please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon!

An avid hiker, she constantly yearns to explore new areas while also hoping to provide a unique vision through her photography, and is passionate about photographing the diversity of wilderness areas in their entirety.
