EP: 2 Photojournalist Justin Rex on assignment in Kingsville, TX

This episode finds me in South Texas on assignment for a Texas Monthly web story. Photographer and friend Justin Rex joins me, and we sit down in Kingsville, Texas at the Holliday Inn Express and chat about Broken Arrow Ranch (the story we're working on), the 80s hit TV show Airwolf, Justin's extensive career as a photojournalist, photographing Tom Brady, and doing things that scare you. 

There's not much that scares Justin Rex. He and Ashley Rodgers are the official photographers of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, promoting the college through various marketing campaigns and media outlets. Justin is also a freelance photojournalist for the Associated Press and his photos have appeared in Texas Highways, Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine, the Houston Chronicle, the Texas Tribune and many more publications. 

I've spent gobs of time with Justin on the bike, in the water, easting processed food behind gas stations, and standing at the intersections of remote gravel crossroads in the Texas Panhandle and parts unknown in New Mexico. He is a colleague, a close friend, and one of the most resourceful human's on the planet. Everybody should have a friend like Justin Rex.
