This episode I chat with Mason aka 'Gameboys in the Wild' (Instagram). Mason is a casual Gameboy modder and very regular in my Insta feed with what I think is a bit of a genre defining if not at least 'refining' style of Gameboy photography...namely....Gameboys in the wild. Absolutley gorgous pics!!! Mason was born and bred in Arizona to where he will retrun with his family once he's completed his training as a dentist in Colorado. Its interesting to know what a Gameboy modder/collector does with their real life and why they are drawn to these dinky handheld gaming platforms. Mason and his partner have recently become parents and now are adjusting to a whole new level of time management, but Mason is one of those humans that just seems to always have a positive attitude and keeps his eyes on the big picture.....a really calming guy to talk to......and his Gameboy photography is very inspiring and pleasing to the eye.
