In this podcast we look at two projects that we are working on this year.

The first is an Amazon Kindle eBook on Photographing Southern Illinois. The second project is finishing up the 101 Southern Illinois Waterfall Project and printing it in a Limited Edition Version and a Paperbook Version.

In this podcast episode we dive in to the world of camera gear and look at the ever popular question of, "What is in your camera bag?" So take a listen, subscribe, and leave a comment on what gear is in your bag. Thanks - Gary

As photographers, we can become obsessed with camera gear and for good reason.

We are always trying to "inch-out" that little extra bit of quality from our photos and our gear. One of the problems we face as photographers is that there is now an abundance of quality gear and this can make it hard to decide where to begin and what to choose.

There are many factors when choosing gear that fits your creative needs. As a nature photographer, I have accumulated over the last decade gear that matches my current creative ability and affordability.

Quality gear can sometimes come at a premium, but don't think you have the most expensive gear to start out. What is more important is the creative process. Spending more time learning the basics of photography and then experimenting is more valuable than any $1,000 camera.

Take your time, learn, then research what gear that can take your creative vision to the next level.

What's up everyone! In this episode we dive into 5 Apps That Will Improve Your Photography. Yeah, I know that's a BOLD statement, but throughout the years I find myself returning to these apps time and time again to get the most of my limited time in the field photographing.

Interesting enough 4 of the 5 apps have nothing to do with physically clicking the shutter and post-processing, but they have everything to do with timing, scouting, and exploring the area you want to photograph.

So take so time, give the podcast a listen and COMMENT BELOW on what you liked or did not like about the Show - Thanks
