Who does this?

Exploration is my passion. I've always loved hiking to new places. Photography also has been an interest. Why not make a record of my explorations? So I set up a YouTube Channel and website in 2016. My wife gave me a book - How to Shoot Video that Doesn't Suck. With growing amateur skill, I've been posting hiking videos and information pages each month. Please enjoy these glimpses into natural California.
