Cultivating Intent
228 Pages
Going to school in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula was a transformational period for me. I discovered my passion for nature photography, so naturally I spent a lot of time hiking in this remote area.
After countless hours in the woods I found a lot more than just pretty scenes. I found a metaphor for understanding life itself.
Cultivating Intent is an equal mix of imagery and stories about finding a path of personal growth.
A Hiker’s Philosophy

It has been years since I hiked the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT), and I’m still trying to figure out how to talk about it. People say things like, “Wow that must have been fun.” Or “I wish I had time to do that.” They look confused when I can’t give them a simple explanation of what it was like. After all it was just a three month long hike. I wish I could parse it down into a small conversation but a lot can happen in three months.
It took two years, but I have finally processed the events of those three months in 2015. I’ve extracted the meaning from it all, and made it accessible for anyone interested in learning some of the lessons I did without actually hiking 1,200 miles.
To navigate regular life successfully, you need something much more abstract than a map. You need a properly calibrated perspective, and that’s what I found on the PNT.
