After numerous years on this site, I'm close to closing up shop for good. It's unfortunate but this site just hasn't developed much over the past few years. Nobody engages. Seems most just want to befriend you so that you will like their posts, though they rarely reciprocate and often defriend you the moment you've added them as a friend. InExplore has had its issues for years but nobody seems inclined to fix it. Just don't get much value with this site and certainly not enough to be a paid member. Looking for a more engaging community of photographers, so send me your suggestions if you have any. Would like to find some people to go shoot with! Who's in?!

TIME TO PURGE THE FRIENDS LIST. I've come to engage. Photographers I connect with either produce images that incite, inspire, motivate, or they themselves engage.

I'm a business traveler who always has a camera on me. Rarely am I caught without one. I'm a lifelong (following my first 35mm camera in 4th grade) Nikon shooter and currently use the D850 while carrying a D610 as backup. For fun, I also use a Fujifilm X100F, taking me back to my 4th grade Fujica STX-1. I'm one of those "never satisfied with my work" kind of guys so always looking to expand my toolkit and ability. 2019 is dedicated to mastering light and preparing wall art quality prints.

The masters I follow routinely (not a comprehensive list; just the go-to's for me): Aaron Nace (Phlearn), Peter Hurley, Jared Polin (Fro Knows Photo), Scott Kelby, Greg Benz, Jimmy McIntyre, and Steve Perry, among others.

Looking forward to meeting as many photogs from all around the globe and hopefully develop a few friendships along the way. I follow back but I also don't mind unfollowing those who don't engage. Let's engage!
