Eric Bennett - Conversations with Nature

Welcome to episode 181 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.    This week on the podcast I sat down and visited with one of our first guests, <a href='https://www.bennettfilm.com/'>Eric Bennett</a>.   Eric is arguably one of the best landscape photographers of the past decade. He has a unique vision and style that I greatly appreciate. He is also a fellow co-founder of the <a href='https://www.naturefirstphotography.org/en/home'>Nature First Photography Alliance</a>, and a fellow beer connoisseur. Eric is one of the most passionate stewards of public lands I have ever met and it really shines in his photography. I really enjoyed our discussion this week and I hope you will as well.   Eric and I discuss some interesting topics this week, including: <ul><li> Eric's approach to organizing and curating his online photography gallery. </li> <li> Eric's approach to making personally meaningful photographs. </li> <li> Eric's new book called "<a href='https://www.bennettfilm.com/ConversationsWithNature'>Conversations with Nature</a>." </li> <li> ... and more! </li> </ul> Over on <a href='https://www.patreon.com/fstopandlisten'>Patreon</a> this week, Eric and I discuss the power of mentor-ship in a digital world and how we have leveraged these relationships in our pursuit of better photography.   <p>Here is who Eric recommended listeners check out:</p> <p>1. <a href='https://www.jimmygekas.com/gallery/'>Jimmy Gekas</a>. </p> <p>2.
