ABOUT THE HOSTS
Hey Don't Shoot is a You Tube show hosted by Felix Mena and Turner Hunt. They met in South Korea while both serving in the US Army. They share an interest in photography and digital cinematography and their mutual passion for the art of photography is brought to life in Hey Don't Shoot. The orgin of the name comes from when Felix was explaining his philosophy regarding the prospects of serving in the army in Korea, near the Demilitarized Zone, telling his friends that when he arrived to Korea he would announce to all who would listen, "Hey Don't Shoot" the logic being that if the enemy shoots, Felix would have to shoot back. In that regards, the title then takes on a double meaning.
Turner Hunt - Turner Hunt is from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. He is currently living in North Carolina. His passions include extreme sports photography and cinematography and dreams of one day documenting his worldwide travels. He is something of an expert when it comes to film photography and film development. Turner now shoots almost exclusively on film, however, when he does shoot digital he shoots with a Fujifilm X30.
