281: Eric Erlenbusch - Nature Photography as a Lifelong Pursuit

When nature photography is seen as an integral part of our life, it takes on new meaning and provides focus for our true goals with this artistic medium. As such, it was a fabulous honor to discuss this among many other topics with the guest of this week's episode of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week on the podcast I had the pleasure of talking with one of my favorite nature photographers out of Utah - Eric Erlenbusch . Eric and I had a wonderful conversation about his approach to making unique photographs, including stories about how he created three of his favorite photographs.
