Episode 32: Perfectly Imperfect Adventures with Martha Montiel

Ever wonder what happens when two photographer friends get together to chat about their adventures? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Martha for some real talk about photography, life's ups and downs, and those imperfect moments that make us grow (even when we're terrified!).

Key moments from our conversation:

• Get ready to laugh as Martha recounts her "almost kidnapping" story in India while photographing tigers with National Geographic's Andy Parkinson
• Experience the raw beauty and chaos of White Sands National Park, where Martha shares how photography became her sanctuary during one of life's toughest chapters
• Discover why adventure photography isn't just about the perfect shot - it's about pushing boundaries and finding strength in unexpected places (and maybe keeping emergency crutches in your camera bag!)
• Learn about the exciting new OPA Women's Conference in Estes Park (February 6-9), where 100 women photographers will gather for an intimate learning experience with incredible speakers like Sarah Marino, Victoria Haack, Charlotte Gibb and more!

Whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting your journey, this episode celebrates the power of saying "yes" to adventure and finding your community in the great outdoors. Come join our candid conversation about photography, friendship, and those magical moments that remind us why we do what we do.
