    Stumbled upon this site, I reluctantly bought their Landscape & Nature Photography course and it was awesome! I highly recommend it to all other aspiring photographers! 🙂 @t

    Thanks for this video – it's what I needed to hear. I've been traveling for 12 years and, slowly, developed a real love of photography and video. Mostly, I've been shooting wildly everyday. Over time, I started to see many more details, angles and play more with light. Over the years, I never understood why I would invest in expensive gear just to upload 1080p compressed videos to YouTube that were going to be viewed on small, crappy screens. But recently, I realized it's not about how others are going to view my stuff, it's about what I want to create. The OMD M1 Mii is a gorgeous camera. It's as if no matter what you shoot it comes out interesting and beautiful. Who doesn't want to make and view beautiful footage? Thanks, again! You've got a delightful style, best of luck!!

    Such a kind and humble soul you are. The vibrations you exude are so high I can feel them! You're very aware of your surroundings, especially the way you talk about other people is all positivity and gratitude. Keep up this up, because you're a natural and seeing all the comments here, we enjoy it.

    Let me start off by saying there are a bunch of excellent insights in your video that I loved! What really made me flinch was when you said the people that get started as creatives do so because they have "good taste"! My dear, that is so spot on! I have wanted to say that to many people before but, wasn't sure if it would sound arrogant. You've gained a subscriber!
