Podcast 305 : Interview with Graham Morgan

Today I had the pleasure of chatting to a good friend of mine, Graham Morgan, an amazing photographer from Sussex Inlet, Australia, and we recorded the chat to share with you. I kind of take being able to communicate with Graham for granted, because we've been friends for a number of years, and Graham has been on my Japan Winter Wildlife Tours three times now. Then a few days ago, Andrew Masur, a valued member of the MBP Community mailed and asked if it was possible to do an interview, because Graham's work is so beautiful. Thanks for the suggestion Andy! I hope you enjoy this too.
