Based out of Australia, photographer, film-maker, and audio engineer Simon Lister is my guest. He shares his travel adventures on a motorbike and, "Love for exploring the untouched World, meeting people from different walks of life, photographing and filming what there is left of this ever-amazing shrinking planet." In the mailbag, letters and thoughts about ai, spooked by what hides in the shadows, trusting what you see, why gear actually DOES matter and February's Assignment winner set by Arthur Meyerson.
