Open Shutter Live – Details, episodes & analysis

Bob is a true outdoor athlete, being a runner, mountain biker, skier, and rock climber just to name a few of his passions. Another passion is photography in where he is able to capture truly unique places. Bob shares his insights, what he's willing to do for a photo, and how his start with film made him a better photographer. He tries to not let gear get in the way, he rather just get the shot any which way he can, believing there is no true mic drop moment. Bob mentions that running doesn't get easier, you just faster, is a great metaphor for any endeavour, that with consistent practice, discipline, and attitude, you can achieve anything.

Darren McNabb recently retired from his real estate business and is now an avid photographer shooting everything from local landscapes to epic adventures around the world. Darren explains why his love for his previous business was starting to fade and knew it was the right time to transition into retirement. Even after retiring, he stresses the importance of having a purpose in your life, having the opportunity to learn new skills and meet people. As Darren says, you need to get a reason out of bed in the morning. Darren knew that he always had an artistic side but had never accessed that part of him until he started taking photos on his travels. He is now expanding his skills into macro, fine art, and abstract photography. It's a fascinating conversation on someone whose life didn't stop once he get out of the workforce. You just need to start and never know where it's going take you.
