WE will take photos with state-of-the-art cameras and audio equipment.

I will teach photography as well as cinematography, as I did for the National Park Service on a series of devices:

iPhone 14 Pro Max (Night and day modes)

iPad Pro M2 12.9"

Samsung Android smartphone

Nikon DSLR with 50-105 mm lens,

Canon mirrorless with up to 2800 mm lens

HP Chromebooks

iCloud.com

Photos.Google.com

Smartphone Apps (45 commonly taught about as I did for the National Park Service)

I will create a GOOGLE PHOTO ALBUM OF OUR ADVENTURE! ALL of our photos/videos will be assembled into an album to share with all those who missed the adventure.

WE will remember THIS!

This is perhaps for many a once in a lifetime birding expedition in the Museum of Nature and Industry!

These were marine recruits I had the honor of being with, hiking at the Indiana Dunes State Park as a little training before taking off to boot camp in San Diego. After getting on top of the Devil’s Slide, the marine sergeants made them do PUSH UPS and jumping jacks all so that we can have FREEDOM.

Never shown GIF I made in July, 2020. I NEVER LOOKED THROUGH THE LENS OF THE NIKON D7000. I JUST HELD IT NOT KNOWING WHAT I WOULD GET SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE DISTRACTION WITH THE CAMERA. They don't mind photos. Mennonites will often have a camera. Amish will not use electricity nor be vain.
