Update #12: An UPDATE! Woah! The Dream Lives On!

Posted on March 3

Hey Y'all,

It's been some time, I hope you're all doing well in 2012!  Check out our blog for an update on the PAD project.

http://thepanamericandream.blogspot.com/2012/03/dreams-adventures-live-on-puerto-rico.html

There are still lingering rewards to be done which we have not forgotten.  I'm in Puerto Rico now building up the portfolio for those who will eventually get prints.

Also, I met someone who knows someone who currently lives in Antarctica.  Who knows, this could be a Pan-American Dream and beyond!

I wish you all health, happiness, and success!

Love + Gratitude,

-Marty

Update #11: Our Alaskan Adventure in Less than a Minute

Posted on June 3, 2011

Hey Y'all,

It's been almost a year now... We want to thank you all again for your support!  We also wanted to note that we haven't forgot that we still have some photos and rewards to follow up on.  They'll come in due time!

In the meantime, we've finally sorted through the massive amount of video we shot from our Alaskan adventure and cut a short video!

Check it out on our blog:

Thanks again!

Take Care!

Update #10: Bears + How We Slept in Our Tiny Car

Posted on December 13, 2010

Hey Everyone,

If you we're amazed at all the stuff we fit in our car in the previous video... you'll be amazed at how we slept in our car (comfortably) with all that stuff.

Check out our blog to read about one of our bear stories and see the video of how we slept in our car.

Have a great week!

I work as a filmmaker and teacher. I live rather simply, healthy, and happily. I don't know what my purpose in life is yet, or rather how I'm going to make a difference, but I'm working on it.
