Organizing some old film and came across this gem of Sean on my old 92 Loyale while we ran the @thegambler500 . I swapped a low mileage EJ20 from a wrx for the engine, put it on blocks for a humble lift, welded shopping cart to roof for aerodynamics, Dodge van grill so the air knows where to go. This thing strap towed a van full of wood and 4 guys up a 5500 ft pass. Ended up being my daily driver for years. To all my shitbox riders out there I salute you 🫡

We’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible messages coming in from people who connected with this film. Some grew up fishing with their dads, others raised their own kids out on the water, and hearing how deeply these stories resonate has been truly moving. With no big corporate sponsors behind us, this was a massive undertaking fueled purely by passion, belief, and a desire to tell something honest. Messages like yours remind us exactly why we made it and make every challenge along the way worth it. If you haven’t had a chance to watch yet, the full film is available at the link in our bio. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shared their story, and supported this journey. It means more than you know. 🙏🏻

A father and son embark on a fishing expedition in Costa Rica, where they navigate the complexities of their relationship while chasing Tosh’s dream of catching a marlin on a handline, a film by @schibbs and @tk_mccarty . This film captures the quiet moments we often overlook, small, fleeting gestures that, over time, become the foundation of our deepest connections. A touch on the shoulder, a gentle nod, subtle affirmations that say, without words, you’re loved.

*Watch until the end to see what it's like to go though the washing machine in a small slide @dcuppers deep in the Japan powder while filming for @micahevangelista new film Stay safe out there everyone, even the low angle stuff can sneak up on you when the snow is unstable. Luckily everyone popped out of this one, and had people at the ready.

Annual bday post with me and my pup Wolfy, who I'm just so thankful to share this journey with. I could say a lot about the last few years. I left a job that was secure, had me shooting all over and truly enjoyed the people I worked with to prioritize my health and finally spend the time to do things I've always wanted to do. Inspired by Sally Mann and Ian Ruhter I started shooting large format and wet-plate, a process I've really come to love. I became part owner of a beer company with a crew I'm proud to be a part of, and thankful for the opportunity. I took the gym and my physical health seriously and it has been easily the best decision of my life. Most of all I am working on projects and creating work in film I'm proud to be a part of. I always feel ridiculous writing out stuff like this and sending it to the world, but nothing comes easy and the downs have been just as much a part of everything as the ups. If I've learned anything, nothing great comes without a risk, and sometimes things aren't as complicated as we make them out to be. For now just putting it all on black and letting it ride. Thank you to everyone in my life 🙏🏼
