Get Your Stuff Together with GYST


Drone pilot out exploring. Somewhere in Niagara

I am a working photographer, videographer, and drone pilot. I’ve been serving the Niagara region for 2 decades.

This is the blog section. It’s not about work, you can read that on the other pages and see some portfolios if you want to. This page is about the fun things in my life. Photography. Nature. Technology. And whatever else I feel like writing about. It’s about life, the universe, and everything. From Carl, your friendly neighbourhood Camera Guy.
