We believe that many of our rights and civil liberties as American citizens on American soil are at great risk and that a simple act of civil disobedience has the power to effect great change. While we have no interest or intention in breaking any law, we are willing to stand up for freedom and the constitution at any time and at any place and do so in a responsible and productive manner. It is our goal to create free and open discussion whenever possible in an effort to educate both ourselves and anyone with a desire to learn. A well known rule of government is that ignorance is no excuse for the law. It is our stand that we as Americans have been either uninformed or misinformed regarding our laws and rights for far too long. We are not attorneys or scholars, however we have been involved in professional photography for over 30 years and have had our rights and freedoms challenged more times than we can remember. No one group or person has the ability to effect change across the board, however we are committed to doing our part by continuing to stand up for our constitutional right to free press and the right to take photographs and video in public. All donations will be used exclusively to further this cause. Specifically, we  need to upgrade our computer, video editing software and purchase additional video gear. We want to thank you in advance for your support of what we do and want you to know that we are committed to working harder than ever to defend our rights, your rights and the Freedom to Film in Public!!

  1. What a huge bummer that we live in a day when a seal comes up to where people are to get good back scratched and everyone's to afraid to touch him because it's probably a felony.

  2. Miss u guys on LI!!!!!! But they wasted tax dollars calling the police over a seal…how LI is that? 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

  3. That was awesome to see a seal 🦭 hanging out on the local beach 🏖 📸 maybe 🤔 he was about to get eaten by a shark 🦈 and that’s a way to stay save for him for a while to get some rest like you said from swimming 🏊‍♂️ for his life. 🤷‍♂️

  4. Cool ! it's nice to see the softer side of life, ( nature has a direct way to teach us from right and wrong ,and it's usually a answer that is direct with our any interpretation) but if only man could come to the conclusion it don't have to be a dog eat dog world we know that everybody has a bite

  5. 1 minute in.. my guess is seal ran from a hungry shark, looks like a good flipping video, will continue watching now to seal my thoughts about it 🙂

  6. While down at Beach Lane in Wainscott a couple years ago, we had a seal that looked like this one, stranded on the beach. We called the Riverhead Animal Marine rescue, and they came out to "assess" it. They said if it looked sick, they'd take it back to Riverhead. We asked what the signs of sickness was, and they said "lethargy, pale mouth, and superficial wounds." The next day, I got up when the sun did, and walked the beach. At first I was happy because I couldn't find the little fella…but after walking further west, I spotted it way up on the dunes near Georgica. I called Riverhead back, because it seemed to have difficulty breathing, and it's mouth had changed from pink, to pale. Riverhead sent a person to meet me, and they took the seal in a dog crate, and brought it back to Riverhead. There, it was evaluated by their experts, and the little seal was kept in quarantine for several weeks while it was treated for a condition they referred to us as "chicken pox, but the seal kind." Anyway, after months in captivity, the Riverhead Rescue group released the little guy back into the ocean. Although wildlife experts will recommend you stay away from wildlife, sometimes they do need our help. Being vigilant, and caring about the world, matters. Thanks for your footage of this little baby…hope it turns out to have the same happy ending…minus a stay in Riverhead!!
