Bob Boilen is the creator and host of NPR Music’s All Songs Considered and of their Tiny Desk Concert series, which hosts well-known and emerging artists for intimate performances filmed at his desk. Anyone who’s a music geek with an internet connection knows what I’m talking about.

But when Covid-19 caught America in its grip in early 2020, Bob found himself with more free evenings than he had ever experienced.

As a composer and musician, Bob has always been passionate about music. But pandemic accelerated his passion for photography - in particular, Macro.

We talked in early Spring about his time behind the lens and what spurs him to take the shots he takes.

You can see a sample of his music, macro and 360 shots on his website at BobBoilen.info, and on Instagram @tinydesk.
