Featured Badass: Robert McGee

“Creativity is a dish best served family style.”

As photographers, painters, sculptors – any kind of artist – we must understand that when we collaborate and work together we can achieve and learn far more than we ever could alone. I have become a better photographer only by working with others who have taught me what I know. I have learned more about myself only by talking to friends who help me understand. I have gotten where I am today only by the support and collaboration of those around me. We create, we build, we become – together.

So let me use this little space I’ve carved out in this big web of ours to feature some of the unsung badasses who make this world an amazing freaking place!

Where to start? The beginning of my journey seems as good a place as any. On my very last day in Texas I met up with photographer Robert McGee. I learned quite a bit about cows that day – seemed quite the fitting end to a 10 year stint in Austin.

I made a little video about it – I guess the cool kids are calling it a “vlog” these days, Enjoy!
