Where Eagles Fly : A Message To My Fellow Steemians ~ Thank You All So Much!!

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

My Fellow Steemians, as I have now passed more than 2000 amazing people following my posts here on steemit, I want to take this opportunity to thank those of you that support my posts here on Steemit and to reintroduce myself to all you new steemians! Yehaw!!!

Yehaw Everyone!! Sporting the Steemit Colors!! ~ Click to Enlarge

My name is Zedekiah Morse, I am a bush pilot, meaning I fly a particular type of airplane designed to operate in primitive back country wilderness without use of a normal paved runway or airport. I also am an aspiring fine-art wilderness landscape photographer, aerial cinematographer and indie-filmmaker, specializing in nature/adventure exploration content. 

Since 2010 I have been working on a very special exploration adventure to chronicle the vast wilderness areas that remain all across the North American Continent. It is remarkable that 90% of Canada and 47% of the United States remain undeveloped wilderness. And many of these areas are internationally renowned and beloved as majestic, iconic natural treasures!

Where Eagles Fly: The American Wilderness Expedition

I love flying into back country locations to explore and film remarkable, awe-inspiring places that are rarely (if ever) visited. I want to share the amazing experience of seeing places from this unique perspective that is only found; Where Eagles Fly.

As an independent filmmaker I am totally self-contained. I do everything necessary to make my films; pilot the aircraft, shoot aerial & terrestrial photography / cinematography, handle post-production image and footage preparation, script research & writing, voice narration, music soundtrack composition, audio recording and then film editing. And on top of this I do my graphics art and web design. I am both cook and dishwasher!  

Why Am I Exploring & Filming These Remote Areas?

My main goal is to help make the public aware of these beautiful places so that they may begin to see them as a valuable natural heritage that needs to be preserved and protected. But first of all we have to be aware that these places exist! Most people have no idea these beautiful places are there, waiting for you to visit! 

The second goal was to reintroduce a newer generation to the joys and benefits of flying small aircraft. Piloting yourself around the sky is one of the last freedom frontiers left on this planet. And though I am fully aware it is not for everyone, for many reasons, it is an amazing experience and in my humble opinion, life is about the experiences.

Skypilot (me) On Steemit ~ Why?

I use Steemit as a platform for a triumvirate of sensible reasons; 

  1. Story Development ~ Steemit allows me to hone my writing skills for the project by publishing story-format-style posts. Meaning pictures and text presented in a linear design fashion. Of course there are certain publishing limitations on Steemit but compared to the strict structural impositions placed on content in any of the other social media platforms, Steemit is the only one that allows me to really publish a true story-format that people can enjoy and vote on!
  2. Grass Roots Audience Development ~ Steemit provides an excellent cross-section of people from all over the world, all interested in alternative sources of content and all excited about being involved in this groundbreaking new paradigm which Steemit is spearheading. Through my Steemit posts, I am reaching an audience that is technologically advanced and genuinely interested in my content.
  3. Offsetting Production Costs ~ Steemit is providing much needed capital funding to help me produce this project. I am self-funded so far, I am working with a team of investors to raise funding and sponsorship for my project, and until this is secured and completed, the funds I earn via votes here on Steemit help keep the project going.

Why this Re-Introduction?

I have been producing content (posts) for steemit since August of 2016, over 1.5 years now. During that time I have watched steemit grow into what we see today. I have recently begun using a new format where all my posts are marked with the "Where Eagles Fly" tag in the post title and I have begun combining multiple photographs of a location into one larger post instead of multiple smaller posts.  I have done this to enable you to access more information about these awesome places I am exploring.

Yeeeeehaw!!

Ok, that about sums it up. Thanks for your support if you are already into what I am doing and if you are new to my work and are interested in finding out more about my project then I would love to invite you to check out some of my most recent posts on my @Skypilot blog profile.  And if you 've never seen this before, here is a short film outlining what I do, enjoy!
