Chris Burkard is an adventure photographer, but he's also a family man.  He's made a name for himself photographing the life of surfers worldwide and in some pretty extreme environments, so I asked Chris if he'd be willing to come on the podcast to share his story and he kindly agreed.

You're going to learn about photography in this episode, but you'll also learn how to be a photographer inside and how to tell a story through images.  I think we all want to return from the field with pictures that tell the story so those stories live on long after we're gone and by the end of this episode, you might learn a few things about how to do that successfully with whatever gear you have on you.
