Murray Livingston – Portrait of a Photographer
Throughout the past few years, I’ve enjoyed getting to know several outstanding landscape photographers through conversations we engage in on a Discord Server known as “Landscape Photographers Worldwide.” What I have come to appreciate about this community is that it somehow has found a way to strip away all of the typical negative aspects of modern social media interaction while keeping all more
