The Turtleman, for Animal Planet

In August I went to Kentucky and spent a day shooting on set of the show, Call of the Wildman, aka Turtleman for Animal Planet. The show aired in early November. I have not seen it yet, but I got a pretty good taste of it while I was in Danville, KY.  I really enjoyed hanging around with Ernie, aka the Turtleman. He’s incredibly genuine and always has someone laughing. He was discovered on Youtube after some of his videos had over 3 million views. You can see more images and the shows website here.

    The photo’s you have taken of Ernie, his team, and his sweet dog, Lolly really capture the excitement we see on T.V. and just how much the kids love him-I believe this was the episode with the Marine who wanted to Learn from Ernie and he didn’t hesitate for a moment about passing on his knowledge, proving that what you said is true about how genuine he is and his big heart shows every episode. I would not miss a show and I hope he has continued success. Nobody deserves it more In my opinion. Wonderful Pictures!!!!
