2020 was many things, although not all of them were bad in my book. “What did you do with your 2020,” has been a resounding question — even half a year into 2021. The pandemic, social, and continuing political upheaval have all had a profound impact on almost everyone. Learning to expect the unexpected and pivot has been a resounding theme. Early in 2020, I altered course, choosing to focus on my freelance business, and moved back to the family home in the small town of Rocky Ford, Georgia. I spent time learning new skills that I didn’t have time to learn working a full-time job. One such skill was aerial photography. Earlier, in 2019, I had purchased an off-brand Chinese drone for my dad to use on the family farm. I had always been fascinated with the drone-tech and started to wonder if I could incorporate aerial photography into my business. I spent time flying for fun on several farms in the area and even monitored a controlled burn operation. In March of this year, I received my remote pilot license to operate professionally, and I am just beginning to tap into the real estate market.
Control Burn
Scarboro Cemetery
My family is involved with a small community cemetery. We wanted a birds-eye view to complete a database with names and their associated plots. I decided to fly an Orthomosaic map, a large high-detail and high-resolution image that combines many smaller photos called orthophotos. Using DroneDeploy, I flew an automated square grid flight path around the perimeter to construct the map. By cross-referencing this image with the cemetery survey and names listing, we can now easily update both and the Find-A-Grave database.
Zero Verify
Tello Enterprises has been my biggest client, and Zero Verify has been my biggest project. Together, we took on a considerable undertaking supporting six patents that outline a universal method to boresight and verify calibration of a gun utilizing a smartphone app and sensor components. Together, we came up with a branding campaign and marketing concept, mobile app, website, and supporting infographics detailing how Zero Verify can work. I can’t wait to see this technology developed and brought to light in the industry. I am proud to be part of this endeavor and I look forward to seeing Zero Verifys’ entry into the marketplace.
