WHETHER IT WAS GETTING FIVE BUCKS A FAST TALKING HUSTLER NAMED WILLIE BANANAS OR JOE TRAVATO OFFERING US RED MAN CHAW OR SITTING WITH EARL THE SHOE SHINE GUY, THIS WAS THE REAL WORLD. AND THESE WERE THE REAL PEOPLE IN IT. THEY CAME FROM ALL OVER AND FROM EVERY IMAGINABLE BACKGROUND. THE DRIVE TO EXPERIENCE PEOPLE AND PLACES AUTHENTICALLY HAS LED US DOWN THIS CAREER PATH.
