Some photos take a lifetime to get. Others almost melt your shoes!

In Part 2 of this conversation with former National Geographic staff photographer Robert “Bob” Madden, we dive straight into the stories behind the photographs.

From documenting an erupting volcano in Hawaii to capturing what may be one of the last images of the Kauai ʻōʻō bird, and photographing in the Amazon with the Yanomami, this episode spans decades of travel and storytelling in the field. We also hear about Bob’s time working inside National Geographic as Director of Layout and Design and helping guide the magazine into the early digital era.

This is an adventurous conclusion to a two-part conversation filled with great stories, close calls, and reflections on a lifetime behind the camera. Grab a coffee, settle in and the talk!
