Stories About Photos
David Johnston
Stories about photos is a podcast about landscape photography and the stories that happen while you take a photograph. These are the stories you laugh with your friends about later. You know the when you were setting up for the perfect shot but then you fell in a lake type of story. Or the I was running to get a shot but I ran into an elk type of story. Sit back and relax and listen to the stories we tell about the photographs we take.
