#beyondFLG

Join Harry Potter and Ron Weasley as they go #beyondFLG with Dawn Kish, photographer, conservationist, and documentary filmmaker. The subject of Dawn's work includes documenting stories of indigenous folks in the Southwest, hanging off walls in Yosemite, and other various adventure activities. Some of her clients include Arizona Highways, Grand Canyon Trust, National Geographic, Patagonia, and Sports Illustrated. She also worked as a river guide for the USGS and describes the “river as being a part of her, it is in her heart and soul.”

As a film director, Dawn directed the short film, “Can’t Beat This Place for Fun” which was shown at the Mountain Film Fest in 2021. This film was an ode to a local boat shop that keeps the tradition of wooden boat building alive while honoring the story of Martin Litton’s Grand Canyon Dory.

Currently, Dawn is in the process of shooting a new film titled, “Tad’s Emerging World.” A super compelling idea in which Dawn is documenting the epic landscape of Glen Canyon using an old Crown Graphic 4x5 camera, which was used by Tad Nichols to document Glen Canyon in his book, “Glen Canyon: Images of Lost World.”

In this episode, Dawn discusses the Tad project including its origins and what its been like creating thus far, what got her into photography, and her connection to Flagstaff.

What is #beyondFLG?

Flagstaff is a remarkable place full or remarkable people. Some may even say that Flagstaff is the best place on Earth and some may say that such a statement is hyperbolic. Either way, there is no other place exactly like it, and that includes the people that contribute to it. Flagstaff is full of people with diverse backgrounds that possess a wide range of interests, skills, and stories. This variety of interests, skills, and stories contributes to the textured and unique feel of the area.

#BeyondFLG is a podcast aimed at highlighting the natural beauty of this region and the peoples that contribute to it. Some may describe this podcast as award winning based on the badges given to it through the podcast platform while others may say that the show is underproduced and overstated. #beyondFLG is hosted by two local psychologists and founders of Beyond the Pines, A Flagstaff Wellness Collective; Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips. Their values lie in promoting connection to self, others, and the natural world and their efforts occasionally hit somewhere near that mark, let’s say adjacent to it. Join them as they go #beyondFLG with members of the Flagstaff community and explore the overall connection to the area, their craft, and others.
