With my pictures I wanted to tell a story about my friend Tate. Tate is a true outdoor person and an adventurer. When I hear him talk about life and natureI really think he has a unique point of view. He truly is the person who enjoys nature more than most people and it reflects his lifestyle in every way. And it inspires other people to follow his footsteps. We went on a hike together outside of Santa Barbara, CA, were I tried to portrait him in his favorite environment, nature.
