A wedding photographer who was forced to postpone his own nuptials because of the pandemic has pledged to donate one per cent of his annual profits to good causes. Thirty one-year-old Adam Lowndes – who runs Adam Lowndes Photography – saw the majority of his income disappear last year after Covid-19 brought weddings and other celebrations to a halt.

In life, there are the journeys that define you the ones that build your character or give you a spiritual sense of purpose. When Yvon Chouinard and Douglas Tompkins drove a Ford Econoline van from Ventura, California, to Patagonia in 1968, it set the course for what they would do later in life: Chouinard founded the outdoor company Patagonia, and Tompkins co-founded The North Face. Both men became revered environmentalists and conservationists. But back in those early days, they were just two dirtbag adventurers eager to explore the wilds of South America.
Decades later, Jeff Johnson found the 16 mm footage of that 1968 trip and was inspired to follow in the footsteps of his heroes with a journey of his own, traveling from Mexico to Chile by boat. That six-month expedition ultimately became the subject of the 2010 documentary, 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless.
