Photo Help

Folks who have been on trips with me and my 12-year-old son Nathaniel know that Nathaniel often is responsible for catching the photo fish needed to get the job done well. That's not the only way he helps me with photos, though. Nathaniel has gotten very good with a camera and often takes shots of me on the water. Switching things around, he also holds a lot of fish for photos, and it is very nice for me to have a young angler in many of my shots. Nathaniel also enjoys working the reflector and putting reflected sunlight onto a photo fish and/or the face of the angler holding the fish.


Nathaniel is interested in doing more with outdoor writing in the long haul, so experiencing my job with me in the field provides great training. He also maintains his own outdoors blog, which chronicles some of our travels together, his days on a local pond and other outdoorsy sorts of stuff. His most recent blog is about our big, goofy lab/pointer mix, Melody.
