In Jason Isbell's song, "The Life You Chose," he sings:
"Are you living the life you chose?"
"Are you living the life that chose you?"
My next guest proves that its possible to do both.
From a small town in Iowa to the windy city of Chicago, Ryan Bakerink has established a great body of work as a sought after photographer. Many of his portraits of musical subjects capture the music industry during a special time in the early 2000's. One such photo is the iconic album cover of Fall Out Boy's "Take This To Your Grave." His subject matters are vast and expansive adding color in regards to social commentary and capturing time in a manner built especially for the sake of nostalgia and human interest.
I first met Ryan in the eighth grade, and was honored to catch up with his journey now- and the six degrees of separation that come with those moments in time.
