After falling into a state of depression, A old friend came to pay ma a visit. He asked me to go on a trip with him and with hesitation I said yes. I have lived in or near Bend oregon most my life. I have never went very far away from my home town and had painful injuries. My childhood friend, now hip hop artist and entrepreneur Macsen Apollo gave me three days notice. I packed some clothes and grabbed my camera. The photo above is my first visit to Venice Beach Ca. The a start of a five state trip. This indeed was a start of a later epic journey!
