About this episode
We couldn't fit all our listeners' questions in last time, so we are back for part II with even trickier, thought-provoking inquiries for Ron, Jason, and Mark. They explore the dilemma of choosing a single subject to photograph for life, fears surrounding memory card failures, strategies for selling prints, memorable wildlife encounters, lens selection, and dream behaviors to capture in the wild. The discussion is filled with humor and camaraderie, making it both informative and entertaining. Sound Bites "You're going to be screwed in the spring." "It's kind of a bunch of BS." "It's a dilemma." "It's a constant battle." "You have to be super careful." "It's meant to impress people." "It's a personal choice." "It's not a fair question." "You still have the option." "Thank you for sending it in, Jason." "I'm more fearful of a lot of things." "Bears are where the wild things are." "I take them all." "I would like a pan blur cheetah in full sprint."
