About A Scenic Find

This blog has been online since around 2017, but I stopped writing it around 2019 or so. In February 2025 I decided to scrap it and start again for fun as I love a good start over.

I actually do think blogs are dead. Or at least slowly dying with recent changes around AI and google.

I decided this was perfect timing to re-start my blog and write it in a way that I actually wanted to write, instead of trying writing strictly to SEO. Every time I thought about writing for my blog for the past 5 years I’ve been too bored to actually do it.

I am writing this blog for my friends and family to see what I’m up to (when I feel like updating it), but also share some tips. I think its super cool to have this online space my kids can look through in the future with my own photos and words.

I’ll be slowly adding and re-writing past articles that I deem worthy to stay, and then will start adding some of my more recent travels in the past 5 years.

I use a sony a6500 and a Nikon D3000 converted IR camera. I can no longer see most of the labels on my sony so I will definitely upgrade at some point. I also have a go pro hero black and some sort of samsung flip phone (its purple).

Before I scrapped the blog to start again, I polled my readers to see what niche they wanted me to focus on and the response was overwhelmingly about photography.

My photos are definitely not the best but I figured I’d improve as I go. I definitely have some tips around travel photography and capturing memories even if I’m not Nat Geo level in my shots.
