The Art Rangers, an interview with Oscar Nilsson

They recently launched their new project, the Art Rangers, a platform for photographers to sell their work. All proceeds go to the Art Rangers’ first partner, the National Park Foundation.

Estimated walking distance for hiking San Francisco? 18 miles.
