It was so thick we all woke up with sore throats—luckily, we got to climb to higher elevation for our project.” Photo by Steven Phipps</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This was one of those shots I could see clearly in my head before even picking up the camera — but actually making it happen was another story. We hauled a table and mattress out into a field on a 105-degree day, set it up right beneath a low-hanging branch, and started building the scene. To get the shot, I climbed up the tree, wrapped my legs around the branch, and leaned out with one hand while shooting with the other. Just as I was about to get the photo, my legs started getting lit up by fire ants — but I hung on and kept shooting. One of the more uncomfortable setups I’ve pulled off, but it was worth it.” Photo by Steven Phipps</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This was one of my favorite shoots from start to finish. I spent three nights painting the backdrop from sunset to sunrise, which was a great time in itself. The concept — a boxing-inspired shoot — had been bouncing around in my head for months, so finally bringing it to life felt incredibly rewarding. On top of that, I got to hang out in the studio with some good friends, just goofing arond and making images for hours. There were some kinks along the way — like running out of paint, waiting for things to dry in freezing temps, and dealing with camera issues — but honestly, it still felt like one of those rare moments where you know things are just gonna work out.” Photo by Steven Phipps</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“This is Sonny Boyd — one of the Dallas detectives who escorted Lee Harvey Oswald into custody after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He was from the same small town as me, and I grew up picking blackberries off his fence when I was supposed to be at baseball practice. In April 2024, I went over to his house to take these portraits and listen to some of his stories. My mom, who was friends with him, came along. It was a really nice day. Sonny passed away about two weeks later, so I think these might be the last photos ever taken of him.” Photo by Steven Phipps</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The moment I realized I wanted to stick with trails was on a lunch break in Lake Eleanor, my first week in the frontcountry.  I think my view during lunch set it in stone. I was just sitting on a trail, looking at the earth in different shapes and forms and I realized I could live out here and I could make money doing it. I did a lot of jumping around from EMS to Arborist  and this is where I’ve ended up for the time being and I'm happy about it.” - Josiah Gonzales, Golden Gate Trail Crew 2024.</image:caption>

To have environments that people feel they can't succeed in doing this hard of a job, it's not realistic. That’s going to burn people out. That's how we lose trail crew members.

It’s super special to be giving back to the land in such a unique way that not a lot of people get to do. It's such a wild experience.

Our animals work, but they're cared for. I love them and give them attention and try to make them as comfortable as I can and don't overload them. There's a morale amongst them.

      <image:caption>“I love Canyoneering. This is in Escalante, Utah, as we entered the first of many cold and stinky swims through these narrow slots.
