Forest Fire Base Camp

Went on a media tour of the  Maple Forest Fire up the Hamma Hamma and the Forest Fire base camp.  My first time on a special tour of a fire.  The tour was interesting and my photos blew up on Facebook.  My Facebook page has a lot of new likes and now my posts get seen more often.  I hope some of that translates to some photo work.

Look at all that exposure!  People die from exposure.  Please give me cash instead.

I was feeling pretty depressed last month, but this month is better.  I keep forgetting that this is a feast or famine job. This month I am feasting but not thanks to any of my photojournalism.    Photojournalism is now a hobby that I need to support with wedding, real estate and event photography.
