Someone reached out and asked me about field guides in particular. What are they? How are they deployed and how does one make such a publication? I was going to add to this my Q&A films but know many of you are interested in doing documentary work and utilizing these guides could be a project-changing addition. So, here is a film about field guides. Remember, there is no one way to doing things. We each operate differently, but when you are working with people, you have to lend them a hand to understand who you are and what you are after.

I'm from the midwest, and I moved to New Mexico 6 years ago, and it's everything I wanted. This is the outlaw state. I'm an outlaw, and I'm home!

Extremely well put. Just watched the video mesmerised by the coincidence. I'm off tomorrow for a 4 day trip to Azores, and my wife already has 5 of those lists of spots to visit. And I was wishing that it would be a relaxing trip, no running around.

You got the guts to make it all explicit. My best fieldwork lessons I have learned them here. Working with indigenous communities in the chilean Andes is not an easy thing, and it can be tough at times, especially in the borders where no law governs. No bullshit: to survive, one needs to build trust. Thanks for so many good ideas, Milner.

Dan! This is so helpful and inspiring. Funny the answers are right in front of us but it takes someone from another planet to show us. ;-) consider me a friend from Colorado.

I carry a couple of my small books (I don't care for the term 'zine' as it seems too trendy) in my camera bag & have used them for this exact purpose - answering the whattya doin' question. It works well.

I agree. I call tourists "pretenders." They go places, led around by the nose, doing the same things everyone else does, never leaving the comfort of a plan given to them by a tour guide or guidebook. They never go out, making random turns, where they might actually have an encounter with a native. They never experience the culture, food, or excitement of communicating in a language they don't know. Then, they go home and proclaim what great adventurers they are. Seems like a waste of life to me.

Thanks…getting me thinking what I can do for my self my and art here in this suburbian coviad bubble I am in. Really like print and holding onto something vs swipe this way. Field guide is a nice way to share without being a novel. Gotta go watch your project video again…thanks señor

Haha..love it. I worked in protected areas management with a strong emphasis on tourism. And I would on occasion ( until I was reminded by a senior executive of our mandate!!! aaaagh)say the same thing about tourism. Now retired my wife and I search out non tourism when we travel and one of our favorite events is finding the true 'local' bar or restaurant and watch lost tourists walk by with fear in their eyes that they were off the beaten path. 😂

I couldn't agree more. I do not like visiting the "tourist" spots when traveling. I went to Egypt and told my guide I didn't want to see the pyramids or any other popular tourist spots. I wanted to see where and how people live.

Thank you Dan, got me thinking about my next field guide, and I'll certainly be sharing with anyone who is interested, gotta open those doors! And sharing photos on a phone, LAME!!! So going old school is happening. By the way, AG23 has arrived in Birmingham UK and will be collecting tomorrow, so that's pretty damn exciting!
