...without whom A bicoastal photographer and flmmaker, Shane McCauley started taking pictures when he was 7 years old. He has been photographing the music world since he was a teenager, has pub- lished several books, and writes for travel blogs (he has been to over 50 countries). An avid surfer, runner, gardener, and vegan cook who plays several instruments, McCauley photographed "The Legacy Boys" (page 160). I n which environments do you most prefer to shoot? I like being given any location and fnding what works inside it. I do always love beaches and forests… but who doesn't? Describe your dream photo shoot. I would love to do a road trip across America, like Robert Frank, and do a modern snapshot of where we live now—the way he did in the '50s. What was most enjoyable about this Aspen shoot? I especially love the landscape of Aspen. It is such a small town, mak- ing it feel so different from all of the other cities I shoot in. Aspen has a charm and character that is unique to itself. An award-winning public radio and television host, Jonathan Bastian works for KCRW, the Los Angeles NPR and music station. The Austin native and longtime Aspen resident has interviewed Salman Rushdie, Ralph Nader, Congressman John Lewis, and many others. He wrote the intro to our cover story, "Aspen, a Star Is Reborn!" (page 142). How did you decide on radio? I'm interested in a thousand things, all at the same time. Being an NPR host gives you the chance to be a professional generalist. I can still remember listening to Terry Gross years ago and noting the diversity of guests on her show and thinking: That's it. So I walked over to Aspen Public Radio and begged them for a job. Thankfully, they made space. What do you love most about Aspen? Walking through the West End on a quiet summer evening and sitting in Triangle Park. Floating in the Conundrum hot springs and staring up at the stars. Sipping a Guinness at the J-Bar on a school night. Skiing on a warm spring day when your legs are strong from a long winter. Oh, and the maple glazed doughnuts from Main Street Bakery!
