Photography can be a life-long pursuit that takes many shapes, sizes, and paths. On today's podcast episode, we explore the path of David Southern, a photographer living on the coast of northeast United Kingdom. David's voyage of discovery through photography started a long time ago on a trip to Chile and through a career in Information Technology with the World Wildlife Fund. Ever since I saw the images he submitted in the Natural Landscape Photography Awards, I knew David Southern would make for an interesting guest here on the podcast.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

• David's photography journey - a voyage of discovery.
• David's adventures into South America.
• How David balanced his career in IT and his passion for photography.
• How David transitioned into doing photography full-time.
• Exploring themes in David's work.
• And a lot more!

Other topics discussed on the podcast this week:

• Support the show on Patreon.
• The Parhelion Collective.
• David's book, Shoreline.

Here is who David recommended on the podcast this week:

• Sarah Medway.
• Matthew Cattell.

Over on Patreon, David and I have a discussion about the nuts and bolts of how he is able to get into the zone to make personally meaningful work on the coast close to home - so if you're not supporting the podcast on Patreon, and this topic is of interest to you, you might want to check it out.
