Festus, MO based photographer Instagram @61_South_ Outdoors

I bought myself a camera in November of 22 and couldn't be happier that I did. Photography makes me happy, I see the world differently through a viewfinder, plus there's the added benefit of being able to share the things with others that Im fortunate enough to get to see for myself.

Most everything you will see here is going to be outside in some way, shape or form. There will be some landscapes, animals, cars maybe some street type photography.... who knows! Honestly, there's just not much going on indoors that interest me, and after 54 trips around the sun, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I won't pigeon-hole myself into one certain genre of photography. I can appreciate them all and the many people who do it so well. There's so much to learn and Im enjoying the journey as I go. No unrealistic expectations, no false pretenses, and no apologies, just enjoying the ride.

Thanks for looking, hope you find something you enjoy.
