To bridge the gap between season 5 and 6 I'm re-sharing some my all-time favourite episodes. Jim Richardson is a photojournalist from Lindsborg, Kansa, USA who's best know for his obsession with Scotland. Jim has shot over 50 stories for National Geographic and was named 'Photographers Photographer' by fellow National Geographic assignment shooters in 2015. Jim's work also touches on agriculture and the environment.

Our conversation traces his early career, how he got his break with National Geographic, his Scotland photography and much more. Whatever kind of photography you're into, there's so much we can all learn from someone of Jim's knowledge and experience.
