Lessons from a Minimalist and Adventure Photographer's Upbringing

Growing up in a large family taught the photographer valuable lessons in minimalism and resourcefulness, which influenced his later choice to live as a hippie with very few possessions.

This instilled in him an appreciation for the art and the value of each photo taken, considering the high cost associated with it in the past.
