Humboldt County

A few years ago, I found myself on a cannabis farm tucked in the hills of Humboldt County. This was result of a friendship turned to business dealing, which has since become a common theme in my life. We (Foster Project) found ourselves riding around on 4 wheelers basking in the late summer sun, and soaking in the notion of utilizing an insolated legacy property to create a brand.

Unfortunately, such isolation lends itself to the opportunity to warp thinking, and the brand never materialized. By this, I mean you have a mountain full of individuals who were making millions (in cash) each year, intentionally cut off from broader notions of “development”, acquiring large properties, building lavish houses, and basically, doing whatever the hell they wanted for decades. While it makes for excellent characters it also makes chaos.

These photographs are representatives of the experience.
