Hey it's episode 2! Who'd have thought we'd make it this far...
We spoke to Aiyush Pachnanda (or Yushy to his fans) about his journey from starting out with a camera to doing the amazing documentary photography work he's doing today.

And that quote is:

The documentary we discuss is 'Finding Vivian Maier'.
