Episode 357: Brent Bergerham Talks Travel & Outdoor Photography

Who doesn’t stop to take in every detail of imagery posted by Honey Brake?! Buzz Hayes has made a name in waterfowl and throughout hunting magazines with his storybook photos. His iconic style sets him apart showcasing rock star dogs to secret duck holes.  He’s a man that just loves his job, telling stories and the outdoors. Because of Buzz, special moments are captured to carry on the tradition of the outdoors and wildlife is displayed for the masses. This episode celebrates a celebrity behind the camera that will bring your appreciation for the outdoors to a new level!

Professional tree planting is back breaking piecework—a combination of high intensity sport and industrial labor that requires both technical finesse and remarkable physical and mental endurance. Using techniques more often associated with high-performance athletes, experienced planters (commonly known as high-ballers) leap up and down through uneven and debris-strewn terrain, armed only with a shovel and 30-kg bags of seedlings on their backs.

In recent years, tree planting has become a rite of passage among young Canadians not afraid of hard work and dirt under their fingernails. As seasonal work, it attracts many students from Canada’s southern cities. Due to the brutal physical demands, most are under 30-years-old. Out on the cut block, inclement weather is common, and the swarms of biting insects are legendary.

Working in—rather than on—the land for months on end and sharing an isolated camp site creates a solid bond among planters. This has molded into a subculture of sorts, which is the subject of today’s show.

My guest for this episode is Canadian photographer and filmmaker Rita Leistner. Rita documents communities living in extreme conditions, typically investing months or years in a project. After spending a decade as a tree planter during her youth, Rita returned to the forest in 2016 to document a new generation. In 2021, she released her results as an Art Trifecta, featuring large fine art photographs, a 256-page photo book, and the documentary feature film “Forest for the Trees.” 
 
Equally in her element in forests and war zones, Rita’s photographs and her writings about photography, art, and war have been published, exhibited, and collected worldwide. She is represented by the Stephen Bulger Gallery for art, and by Green Planet Films for film.
