“My creative inspiration is internal. It’s something I feel compelled to do. Some friends always tell me I try to do too much but I wouldn’t feel fulfilled doing anything less. My ideas just require more hands, you can only do so much by yourself and then you have to get other people involved.”
“How’d you get in touch with your inner voice what gave you the fortitude to follow it?”
“I’ve always been driven to do things people thought I couldn’t. When I was in the 3rd grade I decided I wanted to play basketball at UCLA and people would say, ‘Oh, that’s a great goal, but what are you really going to do?’ I achieved that goal but it wasn’t necessarily gratifying. After school I played a bit overseas but got hurt and had to embrace fate taking me in a different direction. After achieving my goal but it not being what I thought it was going to be I developed an aversion to being goal oriented and disciplined in that way. I started going with the flow and figured it would take me where I was supposed to go.”
“I fell in love with travel after going to Peru. I met my fiance there and on that trip I realized I wanted to travel the whole world and see the cultures in the different countries. It opened my eyes a lot when I went to Peru and I saw how people lived. It made me sad to see so many poor people and to come back and see a lot of people have it pretty easy here compared to other people over there. Kids drawing on the street for money. I saw so many stray dogs that broke my heart and I wished I could help them all. My goal is to help in some way.” (1/2)
“In 2005, at my first Burning Man, I had a massive experience, totally sober, out in the middle of the desert. I was able to heal a part of myself that had been locked for a very long time. When I say a very long time, I mean thousands of years. I’ve had various experiences with multiple people that have proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have lived multiple lifetimes on this planet. In this particular experience I was able to heal some very deep trauma from a time period we call ‘The Age of Atlantis’. When I cleared that space in my energy body, I was able to access a memory and an awareness of myself as being an ambassador from a dual sun system that we call the Sirian system. Sirius A and B. I was part of an alliance of planets and a council of beings from all over the galaxy who wanted to help humanity, earthlings, earth humanoids, become a part of the galactic family. I became viscerally aware of this knowledge. I remembered exactly how I traveled here to become a human, exactly the process of how different species have been sending starseeds to Earth to mate with humanity to create offspring that were slightly genetically different than other humans. The genetics of these hybrid offspring were perfect to receive beings that were actually traveling as souls to be born on Earth as human extraterrestrial hybrids that would aid, as humans, the other humans from Earth in going through a process of awakening to a much bigger picture and learning how to join this much larger galactic society.”

“When I was a 15 I was coming out of a period of a lot of personal stress. I had just discovered the internet, and after school I would just go home and explore. I learned how to pick locks, I learned how to turn off cable lines and phone systems, I learned how to hack. I learned that there was all this power in information if you just put your mind to exploring information. But even though I found all this information there were still all these questions I couldn’t answer or find answers to. So a brother of mine and I used to discuss some of these questions like ‘How is it possible that you can feel something on your skin when someone is looking at you from across the room?’ If you feel a tingle on your neck when someone is looking at you there is nothing in science that explains that. Nothing in the existing scientific paradigm anyways. How do you think about somebody and then the phone rings? Is that just totally and completely random? Is it a coincidence? How is it that almost everyone has had that experience? That level of coincidence is too high for mathematical probability. It’s like winning the lottery. Those odds are too good for there not to be a functional reason of science behind it. So we started to explore qi gong masters and found a guy who could cook something with his hand. This led us too an experiment where we put our fingertips together, putting some space between our fingertips, and looking at the space between our fingertips, and we were picking up some kind of sensitivity. And then I remember the first moment when I pulled my fingers apart and saw…streams of energy…between my fingertips. They look like little smoky lines with little sparks. Something in my head just popped at that point, something just opened up and I realized there was something going on in this world that was not being taught in school, it was not being shared with the masses, and I asked myself why? Why is this missing from our culture? Why is this missing from our society. To me, it was like finding the force.”

“I finished radiation for my brain tumor yesterday and my last chemo treatment for a month is tonight. The whole thing is kind of a cosmic joke. I started Camp Grounded and Digital Detox because I was seeing the world not paying attention to their diets and not paying attention to their presence and their ability to be around people. But it took me getting a brain tumor to make sure I was eating regularly and getting enough sleep.”

“Did facing death help you to take stock of what you’ve accomplished in life and give you perspective on what you want to do with the rest of your life?”
“Definitely, I’m not interested in being famous. I’m interested in being someone who helps lend a voice. And I want to love life…all the time. I want to get to a place where it’s not even a story…everything becomes love. That’s the goal.”

“Are you brothers?”
Both at the same time - “Twins.”
Right - “When we were younger we used to speak in our own language.”
Left - “We know each other so well, it’s a hidden connection.”
When you have to pick up the dog poop in the backyard you can at least still look halfway decent and kool.
Yes I spell cool with a K.

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

“After 41 detoxes, 8 rehabs, 8 psych wards, 6 incarcerations, 4 years living in abandoned buildings shooting dope and smoking crack I was at the tipping point ready to take my own life. I said, ‘Jesus, if you’re real then I need you to change me. If you do I’ll dedicate the rest of my life to telling people about you, but you’ve gotta help me, I can’t do it on my own.’ I began to visit a church and a pastor told me ‘Just be real and listen, if it doesn’t work for you go back to what you were doing.’ I’ve found no reason after 17 years to do what I used to do. Amen.”
“I used to be involved in running the streets, running amuck. Thank god for my kids' dad when I left the house. That was what I thought I wanted to do. I stayed in contact with my kids, but one day they got their bike stolen from them and it really just eww…I wasn’t out there stealing, but I saw people stealing stuff and selling it for drugs. When I saw that happen to my kids, it killed me. You don’t never know who you take something from, you know what I mean? So I got outta that. Certain things you go through in life, you don’t really know…until it hits you.”

“I’m designing a photo book for my parents because their birthday is coming up, and all my family is split up at the moment, and looking through the photos I realized I want to connect with my family more. I have one brother that’s 5 years younger than me.”
“Are you two close?”
“Not as close as I would like to be.”
Ya rendidos y fríos, exhaustos,
Los cuerpos se separan, sus poderes se anulan y una tregua se abre sobre sus blancos lienzos y sobre la comba imperial de sus caderas. .
"Of course, I didn’t listen right away and I continued with the Hunger Project. I went to Ghana and was sitting in on a board meeting there. When I was talking to the men, with their gorgeous blue black faces, these orange geometric shapes started showing up on their faces. I thought I was having a moment. I left the meeting and went to the ladies room. When I got back it started happening again and I burst into tears. I thought I was sick and went back to San Francisco. The whole way on the plane the faces kept coming, whether I had eyes open or eyes closed. I finally took a leave from the Hunger Project and went to the Amazon. We started in Quito down in the volcanoes and then went down the eastern side of the Andes. A tiny, tiny plane took us to a river by Achuar territory. When we landed they came out of the forest with their orange geometric face paint, red, yellow, and black feather crowns with spears and our encounter began. That was the beginning of the Pachamama Alliance. It wasn’t my plan for myself, but it was my destiny.”

"After a few weeks, newly sprouted radish appeared and we brought them to the garden for a visit and harvest. It was, for each of them, the first time they’d ever harvested a vegetable. It was deeply gratifying, but when they bit into the intensely bitter radish, their faces were priceless. These students ate candy and soda for breakfast and Popeye’s for lunch. A peppery vegetable, still coated with the residue of dirt was in no way reminiscent of the things they enjoyed eating or were familiar with. But still, they’d gotten in the dirt, seen the life of this thing they’d otherwise ignored and tasted something from the ground. Even if they didn’t love what they were eating, they’d never think about a radish or a garden in the same way again."

We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
“1977 I helped create The Hunger Project which is focused on ending world hunger through the context of transformation, consciousness, and integrity. I became completely devoted to ending world hunger and not it’s a huge organization with millions of people involved and hunger has moved from being a hopeless, inevitable tragedy to something that will clearly end by the year 2030. The human family is waking up to the fact that we’re all responsible for each other.”
