James Musslewhite, some of you know him for his amazing wrestling portraits (Portrait of a Wrestler) and others will know him from his newborn and family portraits or workshops.  James is an all around awesome photographer, and a helluva nice guy.  In this weeks episode I chat with James Musselwhite, and while we don’t really talk about his wrestling photography, we do talk a LOT about what it takes to be a successful social photographer.  James has an extremely awesome story of persistence as well which is worth everybody’s time.  You can hear that at the 17:43 mark… but listen to the whole thing.  image
