No Influencers Here

I joined up with Ansley Steward and our robust camera kit of Leica's, Mamiya's, and Hasselblad to venture deep into the California desert. Didn't see an influencer.

Awesome adventure. Borrego is a hidden gem. Ansley’s voice. WOW he’s got pipes. He’d make an awesome announcer or even his own KZbin.

[@davidherring]

Totally is! And I could listen to Ansley read an audiobook.

[@subrosanj1748]

Dave, I absolutely love your videos and truly admire your work as a photographer. I found your channel last year after I bought my Q2 and was poking around KZbin to see what others were doing with it. I still love my Q2 and will never part with it, but you inspired me to dip my toes into the world of M. Yesterday I took home a TYP 240 and a 40mm Summicron C. Even just the few short hours I spent using it last night I could tell right away it's for me. Thanks for indirectly guiding me to it, and for always making great stuff. Hope you're well.

[@davidherring]

Comments like this mean so much to me. Thank you! Congrats on the 240. Hard to beat the M experience. I’m sure you’ll love it for life!

[@jerodkillick]

This one I really liked. I lived in Southern Idaho once. I really miss the dessert air. Didn’t when I was there. But miss it many years later.

[@davidherring]

Thanks for sharing!

[@robconner5221]

Fun stuff! I'm sure that not everyone may agree with what I'm about to say, but a great percentage of us come from the opposite of where many of you influencers do. Many influencers start in larger metros and known venues and eventually discover the lesser known with it's uniqueness and beauty. While many of us come from the unknown areas and experiment in the more widely traveled areas - come on NYC, Lisbon and machu Picchu! It's great watching you discover our backroads as we often enjoy watching you explore the popular scenes. Good stuff. We just country folk shootin' our home areas. Heh! Keep having fun and putting up content.

[@davidherring]

Influencers are everywhere out west, but I hear what you’re saying!

[@thatsamuellu]

I would pay to hear Ansley saying "I am gravitate to FujiFilm xt5." What a deep voice!!!! Edit: This place reminds me a spot near the border of Utah and Arizona, Kanab. And the pics at the end are epic!

[@davidherring]

Haha absolutely!

[@ansleythestewart]

lol. I'd shill for Fuji if they sent one to me to review.

[@thatsamuellu]

@@ansleythestewart Dave can explain why I want to hear you to saying ”I’m gravitate towards Fujifilm”lol.

[@lukasvanderlende]

What an awesome day of exploring

[@davidherring]

Next time actually make it to us! 😂

[@ansleythestewart]

@@davidherring correct!

[@lukasvanderlende]

I really fumbled it this time 🫣

[@ansleythestewart]

[@JackTse]

Ansley hair more photogenic than a state park is what i learned

[@davidherring]

😂😂

[@Mojave511]

Great friends, great location, great gear and great photos. Big thumbs up for this video!

[@davidherring]

Thank you so much!

[@moniquewallace4456]

Love the analogy about the guitars. Great video as always.

[@davidherring]

Ansley dropping that deep wisdom.

[@andrepelz711]

Danke!

[@davidherring]

Thank you!!

[@TonyNomadic]

Been wanting to go there so bad!

[@davidherring]

It’s tough to get to but worth it!

[@Not-A-Woke-Liberal]

Everywhere has been explored

[@davidherring]

Don’t take it too literal, friend.

[@user-oq1we2sh8r]

We were just out there last week shooting the Big Horn Sheep and wildflowers. It's an amazing place. #alangreenbergphotography

[@davidherring]

Truly! Loved every minute there.

[@user-oq1we2sh8r]

Just went there and the SAlton Sea yesterday. Never a dull moment. @alangreenbergphotography@@davidherring

[@andrew_aden]

love the video title

[@davidherring]

Haha 💪🏼

[@jamiemink3379]

Soooo good. Mind if I ask what song that is prior to the 10:00 mark?

Gas Money by Roy Edwin Williams

[@Timeistheonlyessence]

I don’t think that’s Ansley @ is it? It doesn’t open up to a photography profile

[@davidherring]

Fixed it!

[@garymc8956]

BTW Nice music.

[@davidherring]

Thank you!

[@alhOOO2O]

I presume you've been to all of those locations before though? The ones you're telling other people not to go to?

[@davidherring]

Nope, first time, and obviously saying that and laughing is a joke. Why would I make this video if I wanted to gate keep? ✌🏼
