Having shared why I quit professional audio engineering after 10 years in the industry, I feel like embarking on a nice nostalgia trip, unearthing some of the memories I hadn’t revisited for a very long time and sharing how I...
I managed to get out on a couple of hikes in the fall to capture the fall colors! One unique opportunity for a photo shoot this year, was to use my drone to use to take a few images and video. This is only my second try at taking drone …
