What's up everybody? Welcome to Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I am your host. I am also a huge hiking nerd and every single week on this podcast. I chat with other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail.

That's what we do here.

You guys know that.

I'm assuming you know that, right?

So anyways, this week's guest is a man named Cory McMullen.

He is probably my favorite, like, Instagram photographer that I follow.

He is based out of the White Mountains.

He lives there, which is actually something we talk about a little bit towards the beginning

of the episode because I have this, like, fantasy of just, like, living in the whites and

just being, like, a complete ultra hiking nerd, whatever.

That would be really cool.

But no, we talk about that a lot.

We also just talk about photography.

And don't worry, before you click away from the podcast, whatever,

we don't really go too, too in depth on like the technical stuff.

So if you're not a photographer, I think you'll still enjoy this.

We just talk about, you know, how to motivate yourself to get the

kinds of shots that you want to get, you know, some of the process behind his, yeah, his creative

process. It was, uh, it was really, really fun. And it's always good as somebody who's constantly

trying to get better with a camera. It was really cool to kind of hear, uh, things from his

perspective. So, Corey, thank you so

much for letting me slide into those DMs and getting you on the podcast. I really appreciate it.
