Here are some of my Frequently Asked Questions:

This video shows some of the most asked questions, or you can continue reading them below as well.

How did you learn photography?

I am completely self-taught, and I have only been doing it seriously for about five years. Every day I spend doing photography, I learn more about the camera while exploring more of California. Hopefully, as my posts and writing progress, my photography will as well. If you are interested in what I am shooting with now, check out these products.

Can you come check out my event/restaurant/business and write about it?

I would be honored to be invited to check out your event/business/restaurant; however, since I get a lot of requests, there is always a chance that I will not be able to come or that it may take me a while to get there. That being said I am always looking for fresh new places to check out and love being tipped off to them by my readers. Feel free to contact me (Josh at CaliforniaThroughMyLens.com), and I will be sure to get back to you.

Can I use your photos for my blog/site/social media page/ etc.?

Unless otherwise stated, all photos on the site are copyright Josh McNair; however, I am generally okay with you using the images on your site or blog as long as you follow the steps laid out here.

Can I write for you?

I am not currently looking for guest contributions, but if you think you have a fantastic California experience you have to share then feel free to contact me regarding it.
