Recently I attended the annual aviation event known as AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  While there, I was interviewed by Kate O'Conner of AvWeb, an online aviation news outlet.    Discussed were my favorite aviation subjects to photograph, a typical day for an aviation photographer, and the "nuts 'n bolts" of the job.  The podcast is now live, and clocks in at 9 minutes and 37 seconds.  Enjoy!
