Why I'm Taking My Camera on the Road

Hey friends, it’s Wayne. You’re reading the very first post on waynewallace.life. I recorded a short video to tell you what this site is about. Here’s the story behind it.

Where did this idea come from?

Years ago I lived in California and worked in the tech industry. Then I got laid off.

So I threw my tent and sleeping bag in my truck and hit the road. I had no plan and no agenda. I just drove up Route 1 along the California coast.

I stopped wherever I wanted to stop. I met whoever I wanted to meet. And I took a lot of pictures.

I had an absolute blast. It’s still one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. If you’ve ever driven that coast, you know what I mean.

What’s the plan now?

I’m going back on the road. I’ll get a van, a camper, or an RV. I don’t know which one yet.

I’ll live on the road like a digital nomad. My online business runs from anywhere, so I’ll work from wherever I’m parked.

Along the way, I’ll meet people and photograph them. I’ll photograph the places I visit, too.

When you’re a photographer, new places are always exciting. You see them with a different eye than a place you live in every day.

When are you hitting the road?

Not yet. It’ll be at least a year from now.

But I’m not waiting to get started. I’m starting right here in Las Vegas.

On the weekends, I’ll go out and photograph things. I’ll meet people, photograph them, and start doing interviews. Some of those will turn into short documentary films. You’ll find all of it here on this site.
