| 284: Deirdre Rosenberg - In Defense of the American Pika | 26 Sep 2022 | 01:06:11 | |
The American Pika is one of my favorite creatures found in the wilderness of Colorado. It is a small, adorable creature that is about 6 or 7 inches in length and is known for its high-pitch chirping sound and cute face. The American Pika primarily lives at high elevations between 10,000 and 14,000 feet and I often encounter them on my mountain climbing trips here in Colorado. They are unfortunately in severe danger of extinction due to climate change because they depend on cold winters to survive. This week on the podcast I had a wonderful conversation with Deirdre Rosenberg, a wildlife, landscape, and conservation photographer living in Southwest Colorado who has dedicated her life to conservation efforts around the San Juan Mountains and for the American Pika. On this week's episode, we discuss:

Nature and Landscape Photography can be a journey filled with introspection and is often positively augmented and influenced by various experiences we have in life.

Building a photography website can be a complicated and time-consuming process and can end up costing you thousands upon thousands of dollars and countless hours of your precious time if you don't do it correctly.

| 278: Jeff Freestone - The Pursuit of Happiness Through Photography | 15 Aug 2022 | 01:09:25 | |
Modern society has, for better or worse, influenced the adoption of wide-scale consumerism. This shift is relatively new for our species, and marketing experts have tapped into human psychology to maximize our desire to purchase and consume goods. This shift can also influence how and why we pursue happiness through consumption and trying to "keep up with the Joneses." Today's guest on the podcast, Jeff Freestone, was influenced heavily by the Minimalists, a pair of podcasters and authors named Joshua Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus. This duo helps millions of people live meaningfully with less by encouraging a more minimalistic lifestyle. By examining his own life, Jeff has been able to embrace nature photography's role in pursuing a more wholesome lifestyle that is less focused on consumption and more focused on enjoyment of nature. On this week's episode, we discuss:

As such, it was a true honor to sit down and chat with this week's guest on today's episode of my podcast, Andrew Baruffi.

The journey of a new photographer can take many paths, but it is in our early years that the foundation is developed and the direction of our work begins. As such, I had an awesome time talking with these week's guest on episode 266 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast about his journey as a new landscape photographer. I was joined by a photographer who is relatively new to photography who has impressed me quite a bit in the way he openly and passionately talks about the craft from his position of being an amateur - Devin Rogers. Devin hails from Temecula, California and it has become apparent to me that he has a deep passion for the outdoors and that he will be a name we will be keeping an eye on for a long time. We had a great chat this week and I think you'll enjoy where we take the conversation. On this week's episode, we also discuss:
