1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 After the cover portrait session with Russell Winfield,&amp;nbsp; the First Black Professional Snowboarder,&amp;nbsp; I sat down to have a frank discussion on the origins of my photo career and what it took to become the First Black Professional Snowboard Photographer. Some stories take place behind the lens and while I have spent so much of my time documenting winter athletes,&amp;nbsp; it was finally time to shed a little light on my experiences in snow sports and photography.&amp;nbsp; The editor for Snowboarder magazine Stan Leveille prepared some great questions and my answers are unfiltered. There would be no edits. What you see is raw, real and honest; in one take.&amp;nbsp; I hope this discussion sheds light on the challenges I faced in the outdoor industry and inspires others to pursue their dreams in creative fields and in nature.
