Chris Burkard - The Road to Inspiration

[@romuluswolf22]

This video just changed the game for me. Thank you

[@Bryviin]

couldn't stop grinning... this was too good.

[@DeanCothill]

Ah Chris man... Thank you. Thank you carving a way for so many of us... So much of what so many people are doing is because of you. Thank you.

[@salsamanrocks]

How could anyone dislike this? This is the literal dream!!! Yewww!!!

[@PhotoReflectionsPQ]

Your video is an emotional journey to me, Chris. I used to do that with my grandfather as well. Sometimes when I´m shooting a landscape I stop, close my eyes and sit for awhile, just thinking how great life can be. Thanks for making my day with your thoughts.

[@TheSwaggybelieber]

Wow this is the most inspiring videos I have probably ever watched.

[@nickbedford]

It wasn't until my early twenties that I began to find an appreciation for hiking and being in nature, especially at the crack of dawn when the world is peaceful and magic, but I thank my parents for taking me and my siblings out into nature on walks and camping. I can't get enough of the outdoors and frankly, feel like I'm catching up on all the time it took me to reach this realisation.

[@davidkerrliving]

I bought an 84 VW Vanagon a year ago with a buddy of mine to do exactly what you talked about in this video, travel.. We since then haven't worked on it much in the past year.. This video just reignited the fire. Thank you Chris for the inspiration and passion. Cheers to everyone chasing the dream.

[@sarveshsingla3260]

Family and love is why we travel in the first place. Great to know this story! Always about the passenger! :)

[@paulmitchell5349]

Sometimes, even a camera gets between oneself and the appreciation of nature directly.

[@realMentorX]

Thanks for sharing this story

[@RizalMuthi]

[@ellwayyy]

Thank you for the inspiration. I am watching this while attaching my camera strap to my very first DSLR. Time to head to the trails with my dog and capture Earth's beauty.

You made that look so natural! So motivated to get out more and explore.

[@donaldbrush6947]

Excellent video Chris. Thanks for sharing a little of your life with us. Love your photography and way of thinking about the outdoors.... very inspirational!

[@deannegoodfellow5749]

I see regular people these days having difficulties and as a consequence now accepting power over over their own personal actions, you feel that you are not going to be prepared to come to be empowered if you are not prepared to try to make the choice that sets you free. The thing is the selections we come up with are positively or perhaps negatively reinforcing our behaviors and so our circumstances.

[@sashazlobin]

Love all your videos)

[@marieta.s]

I hope you can give us more videos like this and of your adventures in the future. They are a joy to watch.

[@justinburgan]

So so so rad! Been dwelling on a van for almost a year now. Just waiting for the right moment. Thanks for the continued inspiration!

[@johnbroman3660]

So inspiring! Thank you

[@NKPhotographie]

Gorgeous! What a great film!

[@giovannimalatrasigerani153]

Chris, i've watched this one almost 9 times, combined with your other videos (under an arctic sky, gear videos etc etc..) i think i've spent a day or two seeing your video, watching your photos and analizing your reflections. you have inspired me so much that you have raised the bar of my creativity. I hope our paths will cross someday. I hope so.

A truly inspirational one Chris. I have always loved your work and will continue to do. Things are never easy, but are not unachievable this is the lesson I have learnt from you.

Beautiful and inspiring. I completely get what you meant about experience amazing things and then realizing your family isn't there with you. Tough on a level that is hard to put in words.

[@traceysyrylo2191]

Hi Chris! I just read an article in the September/October Backpacker magazine where you were named and felt compelled to learn more. Your black and white self portrait beautifully captured the joy and contentment of a person who understands and appreciates what it means to wander amongst nature’s vast treasures. I am inspired by your story, and I hope to learn much from you and your art.

[@wolkenrob]

This was incredible. So well done and inspiring. Thanks for this, Chris.

[@brian.walker]

Really well put together. Keep inspiring because I surely know you've inspired my work.

[@LifeOfRiza]

Such a beautiful short film, Chris! Exactly the kind of storytelling I appreciate so much, and try to apply to my own travel videos. I also went on a roadtrip recently and made a film from it, so this was so nostalgic for me to watch and hit me right in the feeeels. Thanks for creating and sharing this. 🙏

[@adedotunajibade]

Great to see some backstory to all those beautiful images I see on my IG feed. I was on your site a couple of days ago, and your work blew my mind. Overdose of inspiration for still a budding adventurer in far away Nigeria!

[@DaleReubin]

Really awesome to see - and yes, by far the hardest part of being a full time travel photographer is leaving a wife and kids behind for weeks at a time.

[@RogueOverland]

Nicely done!

[@imthiyasibrahim2754]

Inspiring AF❤️❤️
