for him.

every story posted, every project completed, every photo taken is in loving memory of dave bakas who supported me always and forever. when i said, “i want to go to fashion school!” or, “i’m moving to yellowstone national park!” or, “i’m going to quit my fashion job so i can go backpack for five weeks and hike five hundred miles in the high rocky mountains!” he was always there, with a smile and a giant hug.

papa bear, here’s to you. for anyone who’s ever lost a loved one, here’s to them, too.
