“I met these two (separately!) on an 8,000 mile road trip around America. One was America, one was French – and I’m Canadian. We hit it off immediately, and they ended up joining me on a whim. We spent every minute together for weeks, eventually making it to the Pacific Ocean. We took these epic shots as the sun went down, playing on the beach and taking in the beautiful scene. That was almost a year ago to the day, and we still talk every single week.”
