Leikjarinn Podcast EP 08 – Wildlife Photography and nerdy stuff ft. Dustin Blaise
I had the great pleasure of talking with Dustin Blaise, who is part of CreatureArtTeacher.com.Originally, I planned to ask him questions about his famous father, Aaron Blaise. Aaron's work has meant the world to me for many years, and I have enormous respect for him. However, I quickly realized that I wanted Dustin to feel that this podcast was about him and his own experiences. I wanted him to feel comfortable, valued, and trusted as a guest...... even tho i talk to much ;)What followed was a fantastic conversation. We talked about the random Yellowstone Facebook livestream that unexpectedly changed my life, photography, cameras, my mentor Peter Han, wildlife, Cowboy Bebop, Avatar: The Last Airbender, CreatureArtTeacher, his father Aaron, Brother Bear, and much more.If Dustin ever returns for a second appearance and I sincerely hope he does, I would love to dedicate the entire episode to stories from Africa. The continent, its wildlife, its cultures, and its stories fascinate me more than almost anything else.Thank you again Dustin!
