Here’s the thing, I need a space where I can put together the stories that my camera creates. An honest, simple yet beautiful journey thru my home, Baja, and the surrounding places and events that my work takes me to.
There’s no crew here, this is not a company nor tries to be. This is my love letter to the off-road and the culture that surrounds Baja.
Welcome to Baja authentic, hope you like it.

The show must go on…
This is not easy but we all have to move on and continue with our lives, it’s time to heal and get back to create beautiful stuff, after all, that’s what Vinny would want it.
Thank you, Vinny.
The legendary photographer, Vincent Knakal aka ‘Vinny’ after a long battle with anxiety and depression left this world leaving a big print on those who were his friends, thank you Vinny for everything and see you soon, brother.
A decade of Mint 400
Over 10 years of Mint 400 photography. From my first pro-assignment in 2012, all way to 2024, I handpicked my favorite moments. Viva the Mojave Desert!
