It’s the year 2016 and my Nikon never left my side… Riley and I went on more adventures this year than I have in the last 5 years.. ( Thor was in tow for the weekend road trips) it was a year of deep self discovery, creativity, and solo travel. My jeep racked up a lot of miles, I had a viral Go Fund me campaign for helping a veteran ( that landed me on Good news network, good morning America etc, ) this girl was solo tripping to Joshua tree every other week before it was cool, wasn’t afraid to be a herself to express herself, found so much peace on the open road, adventure chaser, every stop was a photoshoot because life is art and I wanted mine to feel like a romance novel meets choose your own adventure haha. I worked on a really big fashion campaign this year, produced music videos, ramped up Hunted Thread and started the transition from production to design …. 2016 Dana, you were pretty cool - hoping to channel a little more of this in 2026.
