I like to do the instagram

I'm back in Southern Oregon where it's hot af, it's v good to be here, time to werk werk werk werk werk 🗻 #greybackmountain I've been on the Tahoe Rim Trail, and then I listen to the news and hear that more black men have been murdered by police? This shit has got to stop. Most of my followers are white, and it's kind of our responsibility, as white people, to care about this sort of thing, and speak up, and get involved, because we have hella privilege and access to resources, and our silence in the face of our own discomfort around race/privilege is what enables these horrors to continue the way they do. The link in my profile will take you to a really good site for concrete ways to get involved, and I like the Democracy Now podcast for my news. This is a SUPER important moment in history, yall. When future generations look back at us, what side of the narrative do you want to be on? The one where you cared and took risks, or the one where you did nothing, because simply thinking about it made you uncomfortable? Just One Wild Precious Life, as M. Oliver would say. If you have the guts to thru-hike, then you have the guts to stand up to the horrific police violence happening against black people right now in the country where we fucking live. ☆☆☆#BlackLivesMatter ☆☆☆ @alisonisoutside is ready for fall weather. Thanks for the pic! 📸 Aspen leaves are changin, I don't know how to photograph them, they r so beautiful 🍂🍂🍂✨ Today I ate weed candy and climbed Provo Peak.👌Thing learned: the Wasatch Range is really cool n beautiful. Thx for havin me, @hikermeng @cedarskies @wilderbound #ProvoPeak #wasatchmountains 📷:@nutsymptom People sometimes ask me how I take good nature photoz. Here are the steps I follow: ➡Have a smartphone w a good camera (almost all current smartphones, as far as I know, have incredible cameras) ➡Carry a battery pack 2 keep phone alive ➡Learn how to use phone camera to its maximum potential (I clean off the lens b4 each shot w the corner of my shirt and make sure the HDR setting is on) ➡Go to the nature ➡Wait 4 something cool 2 happen w the light or water or ppl or sky or whatever ➡Take eleventy billion shots (I took one thousand photos during my 5 days on the Wind River High Route, ended up w abt 20 that I like) ➡Turn up the "lux" in instgram ✨That's it! Basically I put in a lot of effort, which is all that photography really is.✨ (This is from just below Texas Pass on the #WindRiverHighRoute)
