Episode 20 Family, Photography, and the Mountain Life with Jacob Moon - a podcast by Emory R. Wanger

Jacob Moon has an interesting backstory.  Until about year ago, he was a full time nurse.  He spent his days off exploring the mountains and taking incredible landscape images that he mostly kept to himself until a friend prompted him to post them to Instagram and the rest is history.  Fast forward about a year, he's now a full time photographer, adventurer, and a family man.  

I contacted Jacob to ask about an image he posted of his baby sleeping in a tent above an incredible landscape.  He and his wife have found a way to integrate their baby into their active outdoor lifestyles and I wanted to learn more about it.  I learned this and so much more.

Jacob Moon loves the mountains.  He conveys his love for the outdoors through his images and I personally think they're incredible.  Where words aren't enough, Jacob captures an image.  

By the end of this episode, you'll learn what makes Jacob tick, how he manages risk in the mountains, how he learned to backpack with a baby, and a great tip on taking landscape images.  You're going to love it!
