Alexandra Wallace is a photographer who captures weddings, portraits, and editorial photos for a living. If you’ve ever been to the Consumed website at letsgetconsumed.com, you’ll see the generous shots she’s taken of me, too. She’s also a born creative, having helmed Coyote and Oak Magazine and associate producing the podcast Your Own Backyard about the disappearance of Kristin Smart. (Her partner, Chris Lambert, is the producer of that show, and he was on the Consumed podcast several months ago, too.) But when Alli isn’t shooting photos, making magazines or other kinds of media, she’s a pop culture junkie who’s willing to drive out-of-state to visit the last Blockbuster Video on earth, or research “theme park disasters” on Wikipedia. For this episode of Consumed, she surprised me with a Happy Meal to eat on the mic, just to see how I’d feel about it, as she mistakenly believes I have a highly refined palate. We talked about grief, Disneyland, cake, and more.
