a B.A. in English Lit and threatened law school on two separate
occasions, before returning to writing. Originally intending
to be a travel writer, Willson finally decided to study photography
at Brooks Institute of Photography, and his journey subsequently
led to an eight-year sojourn with the Patagonia Photo Department,
