7 Weeks On The Border In Lukeville: Pro Photo Dump 1

Part 1: Professional photos I took while camped at the port

Feb 03, 2024

Greetings, everyone.

To document history, I’m putting up a series of articles with photos I took during my 7 weeks camped on the border in Lukeville, Arizona, with my professional DSLRs. They are of much higher quality than pictures taken with a phone.

Most of them aren’t cropped, so you get a better feel for the scope of the crisis that unfolded at that location.

(Part 2 is here. Part 3 is here. Part 4 is here.)

I am going through hundreds of hours of footage I shot as well. It’s been nonstop since I got back. No days off. Elon Musk reacted to my footage a few times, and Kari Lake and others have shared my videos. A viral clip I took will be on a major national TV show soon. I don’t get paid for it, but I do get rolling credit while the footage plays.

I’ve been light on publishing here because I’m slammed on several platforms trying to qualify for ads on my videos so that that revenue can offset border tour costs and fund new equipment. October in Lukeville was $7500, but that included vehicle repairs and staying at a motel during the repairs. I sleep in my Jeep on my tours to save money and see everything as it happens. In Lukeville, it was nonstop. I would regularly wake up at 2 a.m. to film illegal aliens coming through the port of entry where I slept. I started before 6 a.m. every day.

I’m close to getting ads on my X account (formerly Twitter). It takes 5 million impressions in 3 months to qualify. I need 1.9 million more impressions in three weeks to qualify. It’s a lot of work, but some friends are helping. Follow me on X here. There are a lot of videos there. X doesn’t work with Substack, which is why I haven’t posted them here.

I’m also very close to getting ads on YouTube. You can subscribe to my account here. It’s free. Next, I’ll upload everything to Rumble. I’m hoping that with those 3 platforms, I’ll be able to fund the missions completely and get equipment like night vision, etc.

With that said, let’s start the photo galleries. I was camped in Lukeville from October through December, so I’m starting with photos from October. There may be up to about 20 of these photo articles.

In the photos, you will see the port of entry, the main spot where Border Patrol agents picked up illegal aliens at the wall, and the tent facility in between the two.
