Black and white portrait of a man wearing a flat cap, facing left, with a serious expression, against a dark background.

Fielding is a Navy Veteran currently living in Missoula, Montana while studying Visual Journalism and Public Relations at the University of Montana.

After a 20 year career as a Linguist and Public Affairs Photographer, his current goal is to help fellow Veterans connect and tell their stories.

A black Subaru SUV parked on a gravel surface during sunset with camping gear, a dog sitting beside it, and mountains in the background.

Often accompanied by his fearless companion, Szeth, Fielding enjoys camping, road trips, fly fishing, reading fantasy & scifi, and of course photography.

Hard day of fishing on Monture Creek. Low water with lots of snags. Only caught this guy, lost a few others, and more than a few flies.

Am I using fly fishing as an excuse to get outside and also do some photography? Why yes I am, especially if the fish aren't being cooperative. With @phwff Missoula, MT. . Gear: @Lumix #G9ii, PL 12-60/2.8-4 Settings: 60mm, f/4.1, 1/500sec, iso100, Ed

This freezing fog sure feels a lot like snow, so I’ll take what I can get! Man I might need to buy a macro lens after all… or at least some better winter camera gloves.

Well, my only Black Friday week purchase “so far” arrived. QD tripod head plates for my tripod and star tracker. Connection feels really secure so hopefully it will be fun to play with. Still need to find a good and compact fluid head. @l

Photo from yesterday's trip to Niagara Falls for Szeth's birthday. Crowds were as expected for Labor Day weekend, but still managed to find a section of fence space for the tripod and wrangle the birthday hound into not moving or bumping the tripod..
