The Guide

As an award winning photographer, avid outdoorsman and nature enthusiast, Brian is aware of the local climate, seasons, weather, water management, Lake Level and how these affect the flora and fauna in the area. Coupled with his understanding of photography, light, and Grebe behavior, he is THE guide when in pursuit of the shot at Lake Hodges and the surrounding area.
