Back to Podcast EpisodesPhotographing Deep Within the Arctic Circle
My guest for this show is none other than my buddy Dave Williams, making his third appearance on the show. On the chance that you haven’t seen the other two shows I did with Dave, “Aurora and the Night Sky” and “The Traveling Photographer“, let me take a moment to introduce one of my favorite creatives.
