Introductory copy for the hunting section on the Orvis website.
Not my copy… but a very rare shot of me in front of the camera!
The freelance side of things is always interesting. It’s fishing and conservation and disaster relief and horses and guns. Sometimes it’s portraits and weddings and event documentation. On the really good days, it’s fly rods and helicopters and passports. Rarely the same thing two days in a row.
This is a good thing. If it were the same, it wouldn’t be worth the effort.
That said, there is a kind of fun diversity in the “day job” work I do for Orvis as well. Here are a few examples of the writing side of things that occurs on the 8-to-5… still pretty damn fun.
I’m exceedingly lucky to get to work with some very talented, very passionate people. There’s very little point in spending your work life dealing with things you don’t enjoy, a fact a core team of the Orvis folks have figured out. Business meetings often start out with discussion of the past evening’s fishing, and there’s a cutthroat spring turkey hunting pool.
Now those are some proper priorities.
