Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

Photographer Chris Bickford has traveled the world and soaked in different landscapes and cultures, but there is a special kind of serenity he only finds at the North Carolina shore. For more than a decade, Bickford has lived in the Outer Banks taking pictures of the region's shifting sands and close-knit surfing community. He's gathered a collection of black and white photographs in a new book called “Legends of the Sandbar” (Burn Magazine/2017). 

Guest host Anita Rao talks with Bickford about his experiences taking pictures of the eclectic coastal culture in the Outer Banks.
