I am constantly travelling and finding I take tons of photos of amazing places I’ve been and what I get to see, but that's where they stay -- on an old phone, never to be seen again. It seems like a waste! This blog (and linked Youtube channel) is my way of changing that and finding a productive way to become better, while being able to showcase these places for my family and friends. If nothing else becomes of it, other than finally getting my footage out so my family can see where in the World I’ve been running off to lately, then that works for me! Through the process of creating this blog (and vlog) I hope to improve my own skills, inspire others, and show people what I get to see.
This will be a process for myself to improve my own skills. I am fairly new to digital production, from this side of the lens, so I will be posting and vlogging as I learn. Showing what works for me and what doesn’t. As I learn new skills, I will share what works better, what I experiment with as far as equipment and techniques, and new strategies to make it easier to get the best shot possible. I will also be showing how I edit and create videos and what I find to be the easier, yet still highly functional software to edit the videos, and show the end result. Through this blog and vlog creation, I will educate myself and inspire others through showing them my learning process which brings me to my next reason for creating these.
Just as others have inspired me in the past, I hope to motivate people to try something new. If you are starting photography or video editing, this is the blog you should follow. I am a beginner too, so I will be using similar terms in my explanations. If you are wanting to brush up your skills, or have advice, this is a great place to share your knowledge with others as well! Maybe you’re not interested in getting into photography yourself, but if you follow this blog you may gain motivation to start something else! Whether that is travel, become better at something, or just be closer to their families, being able to share what you’re doing. You will get to see what I see everyday, which may encourage travel to new places and to be outdoors.
As you will see, I travel a lot, and take lots of photos, which tend to end up never seen again. I would like to change that and have a place online, where people can see what I get to see. I am from Calgary, Alberta, (close to the Rocky Mountains) and have travelled to many countries and counting, both above and below sea level. (Check future posts and videos to find out what that means). While writing this, I am quarantined after being in the US Virgin Islands, and returning to Canada due to COVID-19. I will be showing some videos and photos from my most recent trip and continue by showing my surroundings, hopefully returning to the boat in the Caribbean soon. I am going to shoot everyday, and aim to post to Youtube once a week or every two weeks (seeing as how I’m not allowed off property essentially, I don't have any excuses!).
As you can see, if you follow this blog, you can expect to see me learn and share with you my experience, hopefully inspiring others along the way and you’ll get to see what I see wherever I happen to be! I am creating my own personal vlog/blog/site that shows people my journey as I become a better photographer and become more comfortable in front of the camera as well as better at taking shots on my limited equipment, that will hopefully expand as I go. I am creating ongoing videos and blog posts on my website, as a way to show people my personal learning to become better at my new hobby; photography.
