Thinking he found a cheaper hobby, he quickly learned that was most definitely not the case. What he thought would be a simple camping build eventually changed to the full-blown off-road build you see today.

As Gardner said, “Buying that camera brought out the creative side in me like nothing had before. He wanted to get out farther to get those epic shots and realized he needed a different vehicle to take him to those remote locations. Once he got his hands on the camera, his creative side blossomed. A hobby he wanted to explore since high school, he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was also a photographer and shot with an Olympus. Soon after, he decided to pursue his interest in photography and purchased his first camera, an Olympus OM-1 DSLR. To help tow his V8 S13 around and dabble in off road, he bought a 2WD 4Runner and that sprouted a whole new hobby. I was heavily into drifting, even becoming an event coordinator.” For 13 years, he coordinated events across the states to bring drifting to those areas that didn’t already have events.
