Putting Your Whole Heart Into It - Photography, backpacking and being yourself with Tommy Corey

In this episode we interview Tommy Corey who's an outdoor photographer, backpacker and storyteller. Growing up in California, Tommy had a natural love for the outdoors. At 12 his dad gave him a camera, but didn't know the impact it would have on his life. His photography evolved from casual outdoor photos with his friends to meaningful humanitarian projects. In his 20's Tommy felt that his creativity wasn't what it used to be and decided he needed to switch things up. How? By thru-hiking the 2,650 Pacific Crest Trail. It was exactly what he needed. Tommy even created a new project during the adventure, dubbed 'Hiker Trash Vogue' that featured fellow hikers he met along the way. If you've ever wondered how you can use your own passion to tell the stories of others, then this one's for you!
