We caught up with Colorado-based adventure lifestyle photographer, Garrett King, to hear a little bit about what his life is like as a content creator always on the road.
I enjoy hitting the road as much as I can to recharge and open myself up to inspiration. Getting away is everything. From the outside, it might seem as though traveling and capturing content comes easy, but there's a hidden struggle in the long hours on the road, early mornings, late nights, and rough weather.
My buddy Will and I recently traveled from Denver to Arizona and Utah, then up to Wyoming and back. The epic sunrises and sunsets we pushed ourselves to catch, and all the time in between, made it all worth it. We experienced intense desert heat to freezing water in the narrows, and frosty morning mountains to alpine lakes.
I believe embarking on journeys that challenge yourself creatively and mentally, at some point in your lifetime, are extremely important. I'm lucky enough to seek them out a few times a month. Take advantage of the small quiet moments in life. Stare at the stars. Laugh at yourself. Love people. Work hard. Travel. Play hard.
