Bob Krist: Why Real Travel Beats Instagram (Part 2)

Legendary National Geographic photographer Bob Krist is back for Part 2! — and if you thought the first half was good, this one goes even deeper.

We talk about what it was really like to live life constantly on the road for magazines — the adventure, the exhaustion, and the family sacrifices that rarely make it into the photos. Bob also opens up about finding his creative footing again after personal loss, and how storytelling helped him reconnect with the world.

He shares why he traded some years ago, stills for moving images, what he discovered through video, and the joy of reinventing yourself after decades behind the camera. Of course, there are more of those unforgettable National Geographic tales — the kind only someone with 37 years of assignments can tell.

This episode is about resilience, humor, and the soul of travel photography in a world drowning in Instagram likes. Expect wisdom, honesty, and plenty of laughs (trust us — this one had us cracking up more than any other).
