At the end of 2020, I sat down with Nick, also known as Wild Bokeh on Instagram, and we talked about his journey in the field of photography. Nick has not learned photography from books and classes. He talks about how he’s been a ‘hands on’ type of learner and what he’s learned throughout his journey. Thanks for watching!  Follow the Qool Hand Podcast on Instagram! @qoolhandpod

I got to interview my first chef! When I started this podcast my goal was to talk music & interview artists, musicians and creatives.
