20 Years Photographing A Disappearing Bird: An Interview with Noppadol Paothong - a podcast by Jaymi Heimbuch - Conservation Photographer | Founder, Wild Idea Lab | Co-Creator, Her Wild Vision Initiative

#066: Sticking with a single project for over 20 years is no small feat.
There's a whole lot that can come up, from burnout to boredom. And… if the species that you're documenting continues to decline the whole time you're documenting it, how do you maintain that hope, that drive, that passion, that persistence that keeps you going, despite disappointment and tough times?
Noppadol Paothong can answer these questions. He has spent the last 20 years documenting prairie chickens, and over that time has released two truly spectacular photography books and has also even created a gallery exhibit at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming, during COVID.
Through his love for crafting visual stories about prairie chickens, Nop has become one of the leading voices for these imperiled species.
