Subtle Sony placement, huh. I remember I couple of years ago when Panasonic was sponsoring him. And before that when he was using Canon 5D series. Now you won't find find any pics/videos of him without him putting a Sony next to him. Hope they're paying him well, or at least are using lube.

A 50+ guy telling 20-somethings about social media. What's strange about that picture?

SONY Arsitan, hee, hee! What happened to the battered Nikon F's and bags of Kodachrome that my Nat Geo heroes used. "Your gear to a minimum" FFS go and look at some issues from the 70's and 80's. Some of the photographers had an army of guides and pack carriers to assist them with location and transportation of camera gear. Why don't you go to Antartica or sail in the Baltic. Your SONY will die in about five minutes.
