S1EP 1: BROOKE BARTLESON - Stories of documenting wildlife and the impact of spending more time outside.

In this episode, I spend some time interviewing Brooke Bartleson (instagram: @brookelittlebear) Brooke is an adventurous wildlife photographer that spends the majority of her time - not just outside - but in wild spaces! With Brooke I chat about some wild stories of tracking and photographing animals, with one that may even make the hairs on your back stand straight up. We also talk about the impact on her life that spending more than half of her time outside, has had. While also learning some insightful perspectives from the gal, better put in her words … “We as a species, have some absolutely insane instincts that most people don’t even know exist within us.”[2:30] Brooke Bartleson: Who she is! [4:35] Capturing the Wild Spaces Around Humans, Brooke + Her Animals [7:50] The Resilience of Animals [9:00] Photographing Foxes + Perspective Shifts [13:24] Photographing Bears in AK, a Story that Will Make the Hairs on Your Back Stand Straight Up! [20:45] Tracking + Photographing Moose [24:48] Human Instincts [29:30] “That Saying Trust Your Gut” [31:57] “I Can Smell What You Ate for Lunch” [33:14]| How Brooke’s Life as Changed by Spending More Time Outside [39:11] How do we build awareness for those who have never had experience’s with wild spaces? [41:15] If You Could Be an Animal - What Would You Be?
