Dear friend,

Since dropping STREET NOTES, PHOTO JOURNAL, FILM NOTES, and STREET HUNT — we are very excited to share with you our newest creation:

TRAVEL NOTES


What is TRAVEL NOTES?

Our personal ambition with TRAVEL NOTES:

To inspire, motivate, and encourage you to TRAVEL MORE!

TRAVEL NOTES is your personal guide, companion, and friend in your world journeys. Published locally in California, the hyper-orange cover will inspire and motivate you to travel more, explore more, and adventure more!

Philosophical and Pragmatic

What is great about TRAVEL NOTES:

The book is highly pragmatic AND philosophical.

There are a trillion books on travel and photography already. What isn’t there? A personal handbook that you can actively use, abuse, and travel with, in order to see more of the world, and derive more personal meaning from your travel photography.
