Pokomoke River

Drone aerial of Pokomoke River on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Part of an upcoming story for the Nature Conservancy. Project was an all-aerial, all-drone shoot that focused on the Nature Conservancy's project in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

At 23 I found myself driving in rural Maryland on my way to photograph Great Blue Herons for National Geographic. A flash of yellow on the side of the road caught my eye - a yellow Piper Cub airplane, barely visible behind a red tobacco barn. I hit the brakes in my ancient Volkswagen Squareback, did a quick u-turn, and drove up to the farmhouse to introduce myself to the pilot. Within an hour we were airborne, and I was shooting the Heron Rookery and the Patuxent River from above. I was hooked.
