We’re back with legendary National Geographic photographer Bob Krist for Part 2 of our conversation — and if you thought the first half was a ride, this one takes us even further down the road.
For 37 years, Bob’s assignments took him everywhere from fishing villages to sacred festivals, covering the globe with his signature mix of humor, humanity, and craft. But what does that life really look like when you’re always on the road? In this episode, Bob pulls back the curtain — talking about the adventures, the toll it takes on family life, and the delicate balance between wanderlust and home.
He also opens up about how photography helped him rebuild after profound personal loss, and why reinvention became part of his creative journey. That’s where video enters the story — from still frames to moving images, Bob shares what it’s like to evolve as a storyteller while still holding onto the essence of authenticity.
And of course, there are more classic National Geographic tales — the kind of behind-the-scenes travel stories that remind you why those yellow borders inspired generations of photographers.
This episode is heartfelt, funny, and full of wisdom. It’s about resilience, real travel photography, and finding joy in reinvention — plus, fair warning, we laugh. A lot. Again!
So grab your coffee (or maybe something stronger), settle in, and join us for Part 2 of this wonderful conversation with Bob Krist.
