Wildlife photography tips, field experiences, and practical gear advice based on real-world shooting with the OM System ecosystem. I have a degree in fisheries and wildlife science from Oregon State University. I take the knowledge that I gained with this degree out into the field with me and I share this knowledge in my videos with you to help explain the behavior and needs of the animals that live in this area. I hope to spread an understanding of wildlife so that we can better appreciate them and learn to coexist. I will be thrilled to have you along for the journey!
