#23 Background's Sunday: Your Weekly Moment is Here!

Hey there, Happy Sunday!

After almost two months off the grid, we’re back—rested, recharged, and ready to roll. We took some time to hit pause, clear our heads, and cook up some fresh ideas for the new year. And trust us, we’ve got some fire content coming your way. So, welcome back!

Today, we’re bringing you a story that’s all about grit, passion, and rolling with life’s punches. It’s a reminder that even when things go sideways, there’s still strength to be found… and sometimes, the hardest moments end up shaping us in the best ways.

We sat down with Hayden Garfield, a badass photographer and filmmaker whose work straight-up captures the wild soul of the ocean. From teaching himself the craft and chasing waves to staring down a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Hayden’s journey is just as much about resilience as it is about art.

Huge shoutout to Hayden for keeping it real and letting us in on his world.
