Spent the morning uploading a bunch of photos and footage from the recent flooding, when I happened upon this message this afternoon. Glad they liked it!
It wasn't one of my best, but if they want to use it, why not!
It's always great when someone reaches out and says they like my work. Earlier today, I covered a piece on the local Boys and Girls Club and the dangers faced by the children there dealing with their playground. The river repeatedly floods, yet in the past 8 years, the Mayor has done nothing to resolve the issue, that puts these children at risk.

@WendySpickerman The Swiss Tourism Board noticed some photos that I shared on G+ and asked me to use them on their flyers and site. I gave my permission asking to "give credit". They accepted.

Yes, and recently they were following an NC Trooper friend during Florence as he posted updates.

I've seen flooding on tv and it's been terrible. That river looks menacing . You must have been proud that your video made tv.

I was very surprised that's for sure. Usually, I use them locally to keep the community aware. Wasn't expecting that!
