The Cost of Being a Nature and Wildlife Photographer

 In the past I have been know to express “Why does it have to cost so much?” I'm sure this is a common lament by many people. I am finding myself expressing this lament at the moment.

Just a few months ago I could fill up the fuel tank on my pickup at less than $1.50/litre (Canadian dollars) but now it's pushing $2.00/litre or well over. This causes me to seriously wonder if I can afford to keep doing this hobby.

A number of years ago I had to leave a job that I enjoyed because it was costing too much to get to and from work. I didn't want to change employment but finances forced my hand. I ended up finding work with a much shorter commute and at a higher wage so the net result was positive. But I did miss working with my former collegues.

Usually in May, I take two to three weeks to go explore the backcountry of a particular region of British Columbia. I don't know if I can afford it this year. Taking the time off work is not the issue but funding the fuel to get anywhere potentially is.

I'm not going to get into the debate over using an electric vehicle for the simple reason that at the time of me writing this there isn't an electric vehicle that has the range needed to do what I would need it to do with the vehicle capabilities needed. Hopefully there will be soon. Hopefully it will be affordable.

What does this mean for me at the moment? Photo trips have always required proper planning. Now the financial aspect has more influence than the time aspect. Will I still do a photo trip this month. Probably yes but it will likely be only a week instead of two or three.

Hope to see you out there.

Frustrations of Balancing a Hobby with Work and Weather

 There are times when I lament a lack of means to just spend all my time wandering around the wilderness and enjoying it without having to do anything to provide a means of income to provide sustenance and other supplies. Part of this is because I can be a lazy individual. Another part of this is that I would much rather be camping then sitting at a desk typing on a computer or writing all kinds of stuff. This is not to indicate that I don't think my work is important. I believe it is very important but the desire is always there to just go hang out in the woods and explore what I haven't seen in person or experienced.

There's always something that will happen to interfere with plans that get made. This spring there have been many days when I was ready to go out and shoot but it just happened to be a day when the heavens brought forth much moisture. Oh well, that's the way life can be.

See you out and about.

What's the plan for 2026?

Sorry about missing posts in December and January with February now being a day late.

So what's going on in the year 2026? Well, I'm not totally sure. The plan is to get a few trips in. So what is the plan? Let's get into it.

January – The plan was at least one trip up into the mountains to get some snow shots. The day job has got lots going on including one weekend so we'll see when the snow pic trip happens. A fellow photog buddy have talked about going together to get snow pics. Unfortunately this did not happen

February/March – Where I live February to beginning of March is the outdoor travel show season. There are three that happen close to me. I hoping to get to at least two of them. I've also got at least two conferences to attend for the day job. Not sure if I'll get out for pics in February but you never know. In March it looks like I might be driving with a friend as he moves from the eastern part of North America to the western shore. Hopefully get to visit some fun locations. Probably not a lot of photography as the main purpose is getting him from one side of the continent to the other.

April – At least one camping trip planned but who knows what the weather will be like.

May/June – Big trips planned. Hoping to do some exploring along a major river in British Columbia and then spend a week fishing with some buddies in eastern B.C.

July onwards – I really don't know. There are several possibilities but they are too many and varied to mention at the moment. Hopefully get a family holiday happening somewhere.

I hope you all have a great 2026. The year is wide open.

Winter Photography

Sorry about missing a blog post last month. I got busy with family vacation and working at Vancouver International Film Festival. Such is life.

Winter can be an amazing time of year to do photography. Especially when there is a proper amount of snow.

One of the challenges of snow photography that I really enjoy working with (or around) is the large amount of contrast between the bright snow and the dark greens and brown of coniferous trees. If you just shoot normally quite often the snow does not look as bright as you want it to and to adjust it on the computer later takes a bit of work. I have found that increasing my Exposure Value (EV) up and trying it from 0 to +1.7 (I usually work my EV's in 1/3 stops) I can usually get the brightness of the snow against the darkness of the trees that I want. Another benefit that I have found from upping the EV is that some of the dark trees show a bit more colour.

I find the difference between the snow and non-snow areas in a scene interesting to work with in finding what looks the best in a picture. Finding what is artistic and/or picturesque is a fun challenge.

A challenge that is not so enjoyable is driving in winter conditions. I am fortunate that I have a four wheel drive pickup that is designed to handle most of those conditions properly. But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. In British Columbia we can have the weather change in a moments notice. We've even had snow warnings issued in July. I have had a beautiful dirt/gravel road turn into a mud pit after a short amount of rain. While my vehicle can handle driving in those conditions it doesn't mean it's enjoyable.

The other big issue I find I have to deal with is the temperature. I don't mind it being cold but I don't want to be cold. Proper clothing is essential.

Overall, I find winter photography enjoyable even with all the challenges. It's worth doing.

Talk to you next time.

The Hunt For Fall Colours

 It's that time of year again in the northern hemisphere. The leaves of deciduous trees start to change colour. It is a time of year when a lot of people go out and take pictures. It's very understandable. Maple tree leaves that are turning red or yellow look incredible beautiful with the sunlight reflecting off of them.

Where I live if I want a variety of leaf colours that aren't in an urban area I have to go leaf hunting. This is not a complaint rather it is a fun time of heading out and finding places where the forest is not solid conifers.

Now I love conifers aka evergreens but I do enjoy watching trees like maples changing their colours. It is a fun challenge to locate these regions where you can find a mixture of deciduous and conifer trees. It's also a great reason to spend a day out exploring in general.

So with this autumnal season upon us soon I want to wish you all Happy Leaf Hunting.

Influences

While doing some clean up at home a few weeks ago I came across a schedule from when I used to work at one of the major tourist attractions in Vancouver. Looking through it I saw the names of the people and their faces were recalled by my brain. Memories of my now former colleagues came quickly to mind, with more memories as I write this.

It's interesting to think about the influences we had on each other, both positive and negative. Was I the best person to work with? I tried to be but being human I know that I probably failed many times and hopefully sometimes I was the best person to work with. We all influence the people around us whether we know them or not. We can all be a positive or negative influence on others.

Here's an example that happened yesterday, as I write this.

On of my computers decided to not respond to anything that I did. The previous day it had run low on battery and needed to recharge. That evening I plugged it in to have it recharge overnight. The next day it seemed it wouldn't turn on. It had become a 'brick.' It sat on my desk like it was holding it down so any wind wouldn't blow my desk away. I took it to the Canada Computers store close to where I live and they figured out what had happened and got the laptop working again. Those two men had a very positive influence on me. Their customer service reinforced a reasons to use that retail location to get more computer related stuff in the future.

We all influence each other every day. Let's try and be encouraging in that influence.

I know this is way different then my photography related blog posts but I just wanted to share this.

Start of Summer

 Well, July is here. The summer holidays are in full force. The weather is mostly sunny and getting hot.

A fun time to try and get some relaxing in.

However I do find the summer a challenge to do the photography I like. There's lots of sun! This is great and challenging at the same time. The sun rises a lot earlier and sets a lot later. Many more hours of the day to shoot. This also means that the sun is, generally, a lot brighter which makes getting certain pictures much more difficult. When travelling I have to compromise on getting certain shots. The only time I may be in particular location will be near midday when the sun is overhead and very bright. Often this provides a difficult situation to take pictures in. Everything is overexposed. Yes filters can help but you also have a lack of shadow that many times just makes the picture seem meh and not awesome. But you do the best you can and hope that in post processing you can tweak just enough to look good.

Another challenge with nature photography in summer is wildfires. There have been many times when I have planned to go visit a certain geographic region and then when the day comes the trip has to be cancelled because of a forest fire near there that is making it difficult to access, the smoke pollution means difficulty breathing or evacuation alerts/orders are in place. I was on a trip to capture some fall colours but the smoke in the air made it quite difficult to breathe. It didn't affect the pictures but I had a sore throat and was coughing for a few days. That fire was two mountain ranges away from where I was. I thought I would be fine. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

One of the things I enjoy about photography in summer is that the daylight comes much earlier. I enjoy being woken up by the sun. Most people are still sleeping from spending most of the evening around the campfire so I go out and take the camera for a walk. If I'm by a lake quite often you can get a little bit of a mist coming of the lake and it looks just great. If I'm not taking pictures there's a good chance that I've got a fishing rod in hand and hoping to catch lunch.

Another great thing about summer photography is being able to go out with different people and do photography. More people are able to take vacation during the summer and are able to go out during the week and explore than only on the weekends. It's nice to go explore with people and not just by your lonesome.

Overall I find there are definite pros and cons to summer nature photography. What's the conclusion? Let's just go out and take pictures!

Photography out of the urban environment.

 Those who know me will know that I don't take a lot of pictures in urban or even suburban environments (or places if you prefer). The truth is that I am not fond of cities. I've been to quite a few and overall they all seem to be about the same to me. Lots of people living in close proximity to each other. Nothing really wrong with this. It's just not a place I enjoy being most of the time. I have enjoyed being in cities at times and lived in them for a while. I lived in the City of Vancouver, BC for about five years. Didn't take a lot of pictures actually inside Vancouver. Still haven't and that was close to thirty years ago that I lived there.

My passion is photography that is not urban. I love the wilderness. As I write this blog post I am currently camping in the interior of British Columbia. I am on a photography trip. I am exploring a lot of areas I haven't been to or had the chance to explore other than driving through on the highway on my way to somewhere else. I love being able to leave the paved road, put the pickup in four-wheel drive and just see what is there.

Doing nature, wilderness, wildlife photography or whatever you want to call it means you have to prepare for a few things. In a city or town if you need urgent help it is fairly easy to get. You call 911 and help comes. When you're a three hour drive from the paved road using four-wheel drive you can't just reach for your cell phone to call for help. The best thing to do is not allow yourself to get into an emergency situation. There are devices which can connect you with a satellite for communications but these don't always work either. You really need to plan ahead.

One of the nice parts about photography in the wilderness is you don't have people coming up to you, while you're busy attempting to take a picture, asking if you're a photographer. This has happened to me more than once. I'm using a camera to take pictures. It sure seems like I'm a photographer. I don't hate this but sometimes it can be annoying.

Photography out in the wilderness does require more than just a camera and a lens. If you're going to be out in the backcountry you will need to take your other needs with you. Food, a method to prepare food, a place to sleep are just a few for starters. I happen to have lots of experience with both camping and photography. As mentioned previously I received my first camera when I was five years old. My parents took me camping for the first time when I was about a year old. I guess you could say that I've got four more years of camping experience than photography experience. Is it any wonder that I love doing both, either separately or together.

Something that makes nature photography so desirable, particularly in British Columbia, is the abundance of epic scenery. BC has been blessed if not spoiled with amazing scenery. I love the challenge of being able to capture it in a picture and share it with others. Not everyone is as fortunate as myself to be able to travel and experience these amazing locations. Hopefully my little bit of skill with a camera and lens can help others enjoy.

Urban photography is a wonderful challenge. I know quite a few photographers who are very skilled at capturing the (sub)urban locations in a photograph. I really appreciate their work. Especially night photography in a city locale. That is a skill that I have just not had good success at developing. Yes, I know I could work at it more but there are others who are so good at that and have a great eye for it. My passion just happens to be away from all that.

Well, thanks for putting up with this rant, for lack of a better term. Off to hunt more waterfalls.

There's been a change!

 2025-05-01 There's been a change!

Hi everyone. Yes there has been a change. No, I'm not quitting photography. I've now got a job in addition to travelling around British Columbia and taking pictures of nature and wildlife. Here's the lowdown.

Since I was a child I've been involved with an organization called Christian Service Brigade (CSB). CSB has been around in Canada for close to 80 years. Basically it is an organization that mentors/disciples boys into becoming men. CSB helps set up clubs in churches for boys to attend, do activities and learn stuff. More information can be found on their website www.csbcan.ca.

At the end of March the President of CSB Canada asked if I would be willing to come on board as a Staff Associate for British Columbia. This would mean I would basically keep doing stuff with CSB that I already have been doing but in a more formal relationship. I've already been helping out in the background for years. I was a leader in my home church's CSB Battalion group for over 10 years before work scheduling made it difficult to attend the meetings on a regular basis.

What does this mean for BushmanGarth Nature Photography? Not a lot actually. But if I am travelling for CSB around British Columbia and I have some time when I'm not working on CSB stuff I'll probably be taking my camera for a walk wherever I happen to be. It's very likely that I'll combine some photo trips with CSB trips in the future. I'll still be providing shots of BC's epic scenery when I can. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming trip to the Kootenay/Rocky Mountain region.

That's all for now.

What's been happening and what's coming up.

 2025-04-01 What's been happening and what's coming up.

Hey everyone. Here's an update as the some of the things that have happened and some of the plans for the next few months.

I recently had a few days exploring in the Nicola Valley region of British Columbia. I went to visit someone who lives off-grid in the general area of Merritt. Initially I had planned to get camp out quite high up and do some time lapse videos but the snowpack was more than I was comfortable driving through. Basically I went until I 'almost' got stuck, at which point I made the decision to just spend the night at my buddy's place. I didn't want to be forced into spending the night on the mountain and having to walk down to get help.

The next day he and I went exploring on a few Resource or Forest Service roads to see what all was there. Basically only turning around when we reached the end of the road or the snow was preventing us from going further. On the third day I returned home having had a great time with my buddy whom I hadn't spent a lot of time with in over a decade. I am working on putting some of the video and images up on YouTube. Look for it in a few days.

April is looking busy with a variety of things other than photography-videography. I do have a camping trip planned for the end of April with a group of friends so probably not a lot of picture taking on that trip. May and June are the months where I have significant photographic activity planned so we'll see what happens then.

In the mean time I hope you stay well and enjoy the outdoors.

A Place To Buy Prints!

2025-03-01 A Place To Buy Prints! 

I finally have it! A place for people to purchase prints of the pictures that I take. It took a bit of work but ultimately I was successful in getting it going. On the website you will notice that the Contact page is now the Store – Contact page. Going to this webpage will allow you to click on the link to the online store to purchase prints of selected images.

You can select prints of the images in two different materials: paper and metal. The paper print is a regular photo print similar to what you may print out at home but available in larger sizes. The metal print has the image printed on an aluminum sheet. The metal prints do cost more to produce but the image on them is amazing. It's a fantastic way to have a beautiful picture on display in your home or workspace.

At the moment I have the images, both paper and metal, available in three sizes: 8 by 12 inches (approx. 20 by 30 cm), 12 by 18 inches (approx. 30 by 46 cm), and 20 by 30 inches (approx. 51 by 76 cm). I have chosen these sizes because they seem to be the most popular sizes for photographic art in general. In the future I'm sure I will have images in other sizes including some panorama style images.

I'm planning to offer more than just wall-hanging type pictures in the future. I've got a few ideas. If you see me out and about go ahead and let me know if you have ideas of what you would like to see available on the store site.

Also please note that I am only shipping to addresses in Canada at this point in time. When that changes I will announce it here.

Enjoy!

Pros and Cons of Working Solo

 2025-02-01 Pros and Cons of Working Solo

Here's a few things that I have noticed about working solo. This is not to say that this is every person's experience but this is based on what I have personally noticed in the past year.

Negatives:

No one to share when something goes well. 

When I'm taking pictures in the backcountry I'm mostly by myself. This means that when I get that particularly awesome picture I have no one to celebrate the moment with. When I'm taking out and about with someone, like my buddy Mike, he and I get to share our images with each other and encourage each other with our photography while out in the field. When you're solo: nada! Even if you're doing wildlife photography the animals don't care. Unless the animal is annoyed with you and then you've got bigger problems.

Loneliness.

This is an expansion on the point above. I am not an extrovert by any means by I'm not entirely an introvert. While I do enjoy being by myself sometimes it gets a little tiring. On my solo photography trips I miss my family greatly, especially my significant other. I do enjoy going for walks and exploring by myself but a solo photography trip often means spending many days without regular communication with anyone. In British Columbia, where I do most of my photography, the majority of the province does not have cellular service and satellites can and do get blocked by mountains. This is also why I don't only rely on GPS for navigation.

It's all my fault.

When something goes wrong or doesn't work out all that great there is only one individual to take the blame, sorry responsibility. It's me. When the picture looks like crap. It's my fault. The camera and lens will only do what they're instructed to do. The only person forcing me to do all this is me. I could go get a regular job. I've had a regular job before but I have chosen to pursue being a nature and wildlife photographer.

Positives:

It's all my fault.

Yes this is called the same as the previous point but it's true. When that incredibly awesome, great picture shows up it's because I properly got the picture taken. It's true that the sun's position and the weather and creation all are part of the picture but the final recording of the image was because, for some reason, I managed to do things correctly.

Less interruptions.

When I'm out in the backcountry capturing images there's not a lot of people coming up and asking me questions. I have had this happen in urban areas. For example, I was taking pictures of some ducks that were swimming in the river near where I live. A lady comes up to me, while I'm busy actually taking pictures, and somewhat loudly asks, “Are you a photographer?” I was holding my Nikon D80 with a telephoto lens on it with the shutter making noise as I'm taking pictures. I turned, looked at her and responded with my standard line “Only when I have a camera.” She stomped off and muttered “Well, you don't have to be mean about it.” I thought it was a pretty good line. It's gotten laughs or chuckles many other times. Some people are just annoying.

These are just a few things that I've noticed about working alone. This isn't to say that I only take pictures by myself. I quite often go with a buddy or a group of fellow photographers and those times are great. I enjoy taking pictures while by myself but I also enjoy taking pictures with others. If we meet up in the backcountry come by and say hi. Please wait until I'm not actively taking pictures or video.

About ten or twelve years ago I was on vacation on the Island of Hawai'i. I was in a Safeway getting some groceries. I happened to be wearing a safari vest, the kind with lots of pockets. The young man bagging the groceries made a comment that I didn't catch. I turned to look and said, “I'm sorry I didn't catch that.” I could see he potentially had some developmental disabilities. The cashier responded, “He said that you look like you're a photographer.” I looked right at the young man, bagging my purchases, and said, “Only when I have a camera.” I also gave him a bit of a grin. He promptly started laughing and smiling back at me. The cashier commented, “I don't get it.” I responded with “That's okay. He did.” He and I then shared a hi-five. I hope I helped make his day.

So What's Up For 2025?

 Alright. Let's do the standard bit of what are the plans for this year. It's January 2025 so let's figure this out. (and also take a quick peek at last year).

Looking back and looking ahead seem to be the thing to do for a lot of people. I've never totally understood it but let's give it a go.

2024 was the year I decided, with the encouragement of my wife, to give the nature photography a go. For many years I have enjoyed taking photographs of many subjects. I even did some wedding and portrait photography for a few years. While the revenue from weddings was nice I didn't enjoy the workload before and after the event. I did receive encouragement from a relative to share my adventures into the backcountry via social media so with that in mind I started posting stuff on Instagram and Facebook. I also started a YouTube channel to share some video footage that I had been taking during my trips to the backcountry. You can find those links on the webpage.

In May I had my first dedicated photography dedicated trip. I took two weeks and went exploring parts of Southern British Columbia. I revisited some places that I had previously seen but I also explored places that I had seen only on maps and wondered how it looked for real. It was great fun for the most part. Dealing with significant rain for a few days while trying to do photography is not necessarily fun but I made the most of it. Overall it was greatly enjoyable.

In July I went to the BC Overland Rally and that really helped with learning more about what is available for 'living' in the backcountry that has come about the last few years.

So what's up for 2025. I am planning on attending some of the outdoor adventure shows in the Fraser Valley/Vancouver region of BC. I'm planning on taking at least two dedicated photography trips to parts of British Columbia. One towards the Rocky Mountains and another one to follow the Fraser River in the interior. I also might be driving the tour bus for a BC based theatre group. So if I see you out and about I could have a camera in hand or a set of bus keys.

Happy New Year!

Which Camera to Use?

When it's been mentioned that I am a nature photographer many people have then asked me what camera they should use for taking pictures. This is a big and wide question. Here's some thoughts.

Some people want to know what I personally use for photography. Let's take a wander down my photographic history to see what I have used and what has worked for me.

My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 100 that I got when my mother got a new camera. I was five or six. It used a 126 cartridge film. I took pictures of everything with that camera. I soon learned that it had limitations but it was fun to be able to take pictures. The biggest problem I had was affording the film and processing. When you're that age you don't have a lot of income and my parents told me that I had to use my money to get the pictures developed. So therefore I learned to be 'discerning' about which subjects to take pictures of. The biggest difficulty that I had with the Instamatic was that I kept trying to use it in ways it wasn't designed. For example I soon realized that it was not set up to take extreme close ups.

But the important thing to remember is that this primitive, by today's standards, camera worked. Was it the best possible combination of camera body, film, lens and photographer. Not at all but it was used to take many pictures that looked good. The biggest problem was that the photographer, me, had very little experience and thus skill. Since then I have had the pleasure of using a number of different camera and lens combinations. Some that I have enjoyed using and others, maybe, not so much.

The first SLR camera that I could claim as being mine is a Minolta X-700. I still have and occasionally use it. I have put this camera through many adventures. It has been all over the western part of Canada. It was with this camera that I did my first gigs as a portrait and then wedding photographer (No, I'm not available for that anymore). One of the advantages and disadvantages with this camera is that it is manual focus. At times manual focus is great and other times it is annoying as anything. I learned a lot using this camera and it is still one of my favourites to use.

My first autofocus was a Nikon F80. Still have it. Haven't used it as much since going digital but I put a lot of film through it. The autofocus was very nice to have but what I appreciated more was that it wound the film a lot quicker than the X-700 could. This made taking pictures of moving objects much easier. My move to digital put me in the position that I am in now.

After a few years of the F80 and the cost of developing so much film I had saved up enough money to purchase my first new camera. Yes! Up until now all my previous equipment had been purchased used. You don't have to buy new to get good stuff. I researched for quite a while and I decided that I would wait until DSLR's had a resolution greater than 10 megapixels. When Nikon released the D80 with 10.2 megapixels I got excited. It was very similar to my F80 and I could use all my Nikon lenses with it. I was so excited.

My Nikon D80 is my go to camera body. I have a number of cameras that I could use. Some with more resolution. Why the D80. There are a couple of reasons.

• I know it the best. I have used it for many years. Shot thousands of images.

• It fits really comfortable in my hand. I find it very easy to hold for long periods of time.

While the resolution is not near what most cameras are nowadays this camera with the lenses I have does the job really well. The key is that I'm using good lenses. They are not the most expensive lenses. They are, what I believe, gives me the best value for the money.

Now back to the original question. Which camera to use? The short answer is the one you have. The longer answer is get to know the camera and lenses you have. You don't have to get the 'fanciest' camera and lens combination available. I have seen lots of great images captured with a point-and-shoot camera or an early cell phone camera. The main goal is to take pictures of what you like.

That's just this bushman's thoughts on the subject.

Reflections On Summer and Fall

 It's been an interesting summer and autumn. I've been able to do some things that I've wanted to for a long time. I was able to explore some parts of British Columbia that I've wanted to for a long time. I got some amazing pictures. I'll be sharing some of them via social media this winter.

It's also been a tough season. I attended the funeral of a friend of mine who I've known for over two decades. When he and I first met we instantly bonded over being outdoorsmen, photographers and having a desire share life skills that we had learned with those younger than us. I miss him greatly. While we lived almost a thousand kilometres apart we had some great times when we were together.

As for what will be happening in the future. The plan is to keep taking pictures and sharing them with people. I am hoping to have an online store up and running in early 2025 where people will be able to purchase prints and other products featuring the pictures I have taken.

Recently, a number of people have asked me which camera they should use for taking nature pictures. That's a big question that I think I'll leave to the next blog post.

Talk with you next time,

Why Am I Doing This?

 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.
