I first arrived in Los Angeles in 1996 from a 2 year sabbatical traveling the world, I was struck by the madness that is living in a big city. It was particularly overwhelming as I had spent considerable time in extreme wilderness situations where I had educated my eye to appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature.

I was very young and living in San Francisco/Berkley; my friends decided to go visit some folks in Chico which is at the base of the Sierra. This was exciting, because the more of the country I could see the happier I was.
