Meet Todd

My name is Todd Lambert, and this is my story. It all began when the country was a different place, my parents were wanting to have a family, and I was born.

[Narrator]

It’s now many years later and Todd is fresh into the working world, after having busted his way out of high school with C- grades.

Todd quickly followed that act with his encore performance of a drug and alcohol-induced loss of his first two years of college.

He often seemed to get along with both the people and obstacles in his life, by faking it better than most.

[Narrator]

The Dawn Of The Internet

The Internet had just really started, but it became a fountain of knowledge at Todds fingertips.

Just as he’d been self-taught with most other things in his life, Todd immersed himself completely, trying to learn as much as he could about all aspects of...

Website Design and Development

[Narrator]

Todd becomes a new pioneer on the frontiers of the World Wide Web

Todd had worked hard and become one of the the once-vaunted “Webmasters” who controlled the Internet.

These Webmasters, were the ones that they made the critically-acclaimed movie “Hackers” about and starred Angelina Jolie.

[Narrator]

The view was great!

It was at this point that Todd was shining while he was sinking. He’d reached a great peak in his career, and he should have been basking in what that brought.

Todd finally had the large McMansion in the Burbs, new cars, happy dogs and a great career.

[Narrator]

Wobbles in Web Town

But it all started to come crashing down for Todd. Eventually, his body succumbed from all of the years of excessive 1 and 0’s.

The "stay-up-all-night-party-like-a-rock-star" type of life he’d always dreamed of was in fact,

[Narrator]

Then it all came crashing down

With all of this power and great responsibility comes great lethargy, gluttony and ultimately, Diabetes Type II, a heart condition, unknown gastric issues, horrible near-sightedness and of course all the debt and other normal stresses of life.

[Narrator]

The camera saves Todds life

In his free time, Todd had begun playing around with photography as a hobby.

He became fascinated with all things photography and he sought out to learn everything there was to learn about it.

Todd finally reached a point where his photography, had become the driving force in his life. The wind beneath his sails, if you want to call it that.

[Narrator]

Drastic times - Drastic measures

Todd proceeded to sell all of his earthly possessions. His house, cars, tvs, everything. He downsized his life to fit into an on-the-road lifestyle.

Todd shed most of his belongings and other stuff that had become shackles around him for so many years.

The things he owned had in fact, owned him.

[Narrator]

A dangerous hobby

Over the years, Todd had always been intrigued by being places where he wasn’t supposed to be.

It started as a kid, by sneaking out of his parents house every night and wandering the city streets, looking for the voices that called him out of his sleep.

Learning to accept darkness and find peace in the unknown was something that became second nature to Todd, even though he wasn’t aware of it at the time.

[Narrator]

A new destiny in the old

In trying to find his lost soul inside these decrepit and crumbling vestiges of our American past, Todd had finally found something that actually tickled all his special spots.

He became obsessed with finding and photographing rusted cars, old ghost towns and remnants of America that had become long forgotten.

[Narrator]

Wide horizons with wide smiles

Todds mind has became much clearer and his views are endless and the world has become his back porch. He has no schedules, he has no agendas other than his own.

Living and working full-time on-the-road across the highways of America can be tough.
