Hello, my name is Donnie Simmons. I am originally from North Carolina, but today I make my home in stunning Northern Michigan.  I retired from the Air Force after serving 23 years, and now I am exploring the world through the lens. From the forest to the lakeshore, my camera sees the wonder in every vista, capturing the beauty of nature and connecting with intriguing people and places. I also use my FAA-certified drone piloting skills to provide a unique perspective and to expand my visual storytelling. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me exploring the great outdoors. Through my imagery, I aim to inspire others to explore, connect, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
