THE DAYBREAK MISSION
DAYBREAK is a biannual, independent print publication focusing on creatives in the outdoors. At our core, we are a collective celebrating natural light and how it choreographs our time outside.
Our goal is to build a platform to highlight the unheard voices of creatives in the outdoor world. Shifting the focus towards makers and their work, the print juxtaposes the grittiness of a standard adventure magazine with the simplicity and airiness of a museum grade art book.
We believe light is the visual soundtrack that sets the scene for each of our lives. As creatives in the outdoor world, we’re always working in tandem with our natural counterpart. We’re made up of dirtbags who clean up well. We’ll sleep in our rigs, button up for our day jobs, and get right back out there as soon as we clock out. We love being outside, as comfortable or uncomfortable as it may be.

This is, well, pretty damn true. From a young age, Tommy’s found his inspiration, peace, and energy in that of the rising and setting sun.
