Can you sum up Mammoth Lakes? Come for the winters, stay for the summers.
What is a perfect day in Mammoth? That depends on what your hobby is since the seasons are so drastic. Me personally, I spend more time with the summer hobbies. So a mid-70º sunny day hiking to an alpine lake with some lunch and a few cold ones sounds pretty good to me.
Do you shoot with your phone or other cameras or both? I shoot with a Nikon DSLR, iPhone, and GoPro.
What is your editing process? Most of the time my DSLR stuff goes into Lightroom for an edit and put into my Dropbox for later use.
Can you give a couple tips to aspiring Instagram photographers? Be active.
Who are your three favorite photographers? Andy Best, Dylan Furst, Drew Martin
What is the most amazing travel experience you’ve ever had? A road trip through the desert parks that ended up with a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon. I honestly haven’t had many opportunities for any major travel.
