Photography, technology, marketing, and life
I had the opportunity to work with a new model earlier this week. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to work with a new collaborative model. It’s not like hiring someone for a commercial shoot where the outcomes are clearly identified…
We hit 70º last Wednesday, so I decided to throw the dog and the cameras in the truck and run up to Willow Creek for the night. 100% worth it. The sunsets have been lacking lately, so it was a…
I got my first DJI drone back in 2016—a Phantom 3 Standard—and it was the perfect starter drone. I flew it all over the Coast Range in Oregon, random spots in Montana, and a few neighborhoods. In 2017, I upgraded…
