James McCormack Writing & Photography Small Businesses

But meh, responsibility: that's for the birds. It was one of the few essential realisations I actually cottoned onto early in life, not long after high school when I skipped out of university to spend a winter skiing at Thredbo. I did actually go back and finish my degree, but then I took off: more winters at Thredbo; five at Whistler. There was also three months of hiking solo through the Canadian Rockies. After then bumming around Japan and Asia for six years, I came to another realisation: I had considerable talent for this dodging work thingy. So much so, I figured I should get paid for it. Lacking the talent for sponsorship, I did the next best thing: I became an adventure writer and photographer.
