Mr. Zoomdak
This film is something special, more thank just a film.
I see resemblance between you and your lovely mother.
Not only the appearance, but personality.
I look at your mother, and I see YOU. 5:52 4:07
You have a beautiful family and friends.
I feel like I get to know you a bit by bit through this film
Where you come from?
How was your childhood?
How did you grow your ambitions for the beauty in nature?
What made you who you are now....
You all are naturalist
you all are Biophilia
hahaah you have her smile 3:17
There are so many gorgeous shots in this film, such as 1:29
I grew up in a big concreate jungle city . My mother said, "not get dirty." hahahaah
I did not know outdoor activities at all.
Now I am learning being in nature through your lens.
Superb!
I recently felt a little pressure how much kayak7seas' audience are hungry about adventurous films. But sometime we simply kayak and hike. The Ordinary becomes extraordinary to me, but ... I would really appreciate your words on our recent upload "Mysterious Secrets of Chilhowee Lake" Nothing special, no screaming..hahah
That's cool you see a bit of my mom in me! She definitely rocks, and it's rad that you see some of her personality shining through. We definitely have similar hair :D
Spot on with the "naturalist" and "Biophilia" thing! Exactly what I'm aiming for. Stoked that my film got you curious about adventuring outside.
In response to your questions, I could go on an on but here is short description of my bio:
Grew up exploring the Oregon coast after my family moved there from Tennessee. Hiking in Olympic National Park every summer with my family sparked my love for capturing nature's beauty through photography. Now, as a believer in Jesus, I aim to share God's glorious creation and the joy I find in it through my videography and bring others that love and peace.
Thanks again for the kind words! Comments like yours keep me pumped about making films that connect people with nature and inspire them to get out there and explore.
Wow beautiful mountain great hiking
Thank you, such good memories of this hike!
Looks like an amazing hike!
Thank you, it really was!
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your support!
nice memory...you look a lot like your mother👩👦👍
Thank you, I sure do. Especially when my hair is longer. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a simply incredible adventure. How was it going so many miles off trail?
We did a bunch of research of the area ahead of time so it felt familiar when we got there. But good to have maps and a compass along!
It's a beautiful and amazing scenery very nice sharing ❤
Thank you very much!
