Why Am I Doing This?
This is crazy! Why have I decided to travel around and take pictures of what is there. And even worse, possibly try and monetize it.
Why take the pictures and videos?
I'm not fond of urban areas. Considering for most of this life I have had a residence in an urban area this may seem to be a contradiction. However, just because my residence is urban doesn't mean that my desire is to be urban. It's just the way life can go.
I find great joy in being in nature. I want to share this joy with others, particularly those who are unable to get out into nature themselves. Hopefully the pictures and videos I share will do that.
Why monetize it?
Travelling around costs money. If I have products available for people to purchase they can have product that may bring some of the joy of nature in to their home or workplace. The money raised would allow more possibilities of nature being shared.
What does it all mean?
It means lots of time in nature. Staying in one location for quite a while to get the image that is wanted or perfectly captures the spirit of the location in the scene. Such times can be both enjoyable and exhausting. I once spent 15-20 minutes to get the 'perfect shot' of a squirrel eating a pinecone. Was it worth it? I think so. Did I enjoy it? The capturing of the image, yes. The difficulty of getting up from an awkward sitting angle, no. That's just the way it goes.
As time goes on I will have more up and ready to go. At the moment I am using social media (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X aka Twitter) to share what I find. I hope to have an online store for people to purchase items.
That's it for now.
If I see you out in the bush, great! If not, enjoy the pics and vids.
