Thats What Traveling is All About — John Thatcher
Ben Ashby
We've known photographer John Thatcher for years. We've been constantly inspired by his images of California and the life out west. We felt it was time to finally sit down and learn about the man behind the camera.
A PREVIEW FROM FOLK SUMMER 2019. ORDER HERE
Why do you adventure? I adventure and explore so that I can prove to myself that more is out there than what I can see on a screen or magazine. I need to find out how finding these new places or trying new things feels. I already know what it looks like.
Why take risks in life? Life is about takings risks. Whats the point of living if you only live one way for your whole life?
Where are you from? I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area.
What is your 9-5? I'm a fashion and lifestyle photographer for a day job and a songwriter for my non day job.
When you were growing up what or who did you want to be? Growing up I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. I was pretty close to almost kind of sorta doing it.
What is the favorite place you've visited? My favorite place I've visited was the Saguaro Cactus Reserve. I love me some cacti.
