It’s a good thing he is also a professional photographer who can capture that moment flawlessly and present it to those of us not fortunate enough to be able to witness such sights on our own. I chatted with Bailey recently, to discuss his photography, get his advice for aspiring photographers, and, of course, find out about the gear he uses to capture these
