I went to the Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival today. It was kind of small but a cool experience. There were lots of dogs and kids running around. Some pretty cool art and music. Most importantly, there was lots of food!
Camping Gear Christmas - VEDA Day 7
Christmas came early. At least the first part of it. I got the first shipment of my camping gear today. A sleeping bag and a knife. Even thought it's only part of gear and I can't camp for a while, I'm still excited. Like a kid on Christmas.
Everglades National Park Vlog
This was day 2 of my trip to the Everglades and Keys this past winter. I stayed overnight in the Everglades National Park so I could be up very early for the sunrise. The sunrise turned out to be spectacular and worth every mosquito bite.
I spent the rest of the morning exploring the park including a minor run in with an Alligator crossing a trail.
Stayed turned for part 2 coming soon.

Flying In The Sky - VEDA Day 6
Another travel day. I flew back from Los Angeles today to a rainy Nashville.
Break on a Hill - VEDA Day 5
I took a break from meetings to go on a little hike and talk to you guys. Let me know about a time something didn't go your way and how you dealt with it.
Travel Day - VEDA Day 4
Today was a travel day. And a lot of meetings day. And not a lot of vlog day.

Everglades Sunrise
Everglades Sunrise
This photo was taken on the second day of my trip to the Everglades and Keys. This photo was taken at the campground lake in Everglades National Park. I drove in the night before, slept at the campgrounds near the lake and staked my spot super early.
I was a little concerned that the sunrise wouldn't be able to break through the cloud cover, but instead the clouds helped to make the sunrise explode across the sky and last a lot longer than most sunrises.
The mix of bright orange and deep purple was mesmerizing to me. So much so that I didn't even mind getting eaten alive by mosquitos to sit there and watch it. The colors came in waves, ebbing and flowing as the clouds moved across the sky.

Drone Mission - VEDA Day 3
Day 3 of VEDA got off to a loud and annoying start but that's OK. I got out to do a drone mission that I've wanted to do for a while now.

Downtown Nashville Photo - VEDA Day 2
I've been trying to make a sunset photo of Downtown Nashville for a while now. This was my third attempt. Second from this spot. I'm not sure if it's the angle from being at this spot or if I'm just getting unlucky but the sunsets are not popping the way I need them to.
Never the less, I decided to stick around a little longer and turn this into a night photo. I think it will turn out well. It'll take a couple weeks, but check out my site for the finished photo.

VEDA Day 1
I'm going to start doing some camping as part of my search for beautiful things to photograph. Since I know nothing about camping, I took a trip to REI to learn what I needed to put a basic camping set up together.
