I have a chat with Canadian photographer Kyle McDougall about his new photo book An American Mile. I ask questions about living a creative life, building an audience & online platform, working with a publisher, and more (see chapter markers). Big thanks to Kyle, and make sure to check out the upcoming book and his other work using the links below.
