I spoke with Ben in February. We have never met face-to-face. This was an interesting interview. I hope listeners make a connection to him as I have with @benfoy His self bio is Wannabe photographer/ daydreamer. Not just abandoned stuff 🙄 ^cripplingly self aware^- I think after this interview, we have more than photography and music in common. Fighting a step back with an unfortunate illness and making changes can be things people may not see, yet be an inspiration.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
