I hope you all have had a good last few weeks and I am stoked to be sharing a conversation I had with the amazingly talented photographer, filmmaker and author Ben Moon. 
If you are at all interested in rock climbing, surfing or portrait photography there's a pretty good chance you have come across some of Ben's work before. Ben's ability and approach to storytelling and photography has led his work to feature in the highly regarded Patagonia catalogs for the last 17 years as well all over the world in various editorials and screens showing the beauty and authenticity of people challenging themselves in the outdoors. 
Recently Ben has released his first book titled Denali - A man, a dog and a friendship of a lifetime. The book at its core is a story of growth, resilience, love and connection that shares Ben's own deeply personal journey with colon cancer and his special friendship with his dog Denali. This book is easily one of the best I have read in the last two years for sure. 
In this episode Ben and I talk about how he first got into photography and filmmaking, his book Denali and the reason behind why he wrote it, his approach to storytelling, how surviving cancer has impacted his outlook on life, advice for photographers and filmmakers starting out today and so so much more.
