HEADER: IDENTITY & OPERATIONAL HISTORY

SNAG is the heavy in the cap-toed boots. He looks like the guy hauling crates on the docks—and he’s done that work. But the boots are just the foundation.

He is a study in deliberate contradiction: A military veteran with a history in the trades who spent his formative years in the pit at Hardcore shows. He brings the tactical discipline of the service and the DIY ethos of the underground to the creative process. He’s the guy who knows that a polished exterior is useless if the structure underneath is rotting.

THE PHILOSOPHY: He rejects the "specialist" trap. Specialists are easily replaced parts in a corporate machine. SNAG believes that tool knowledge is liberation.

Whether it’s writing code, framing a shot, or swinging a hammer, knowing how to use and repair your tools is the only way to get off the mainstream conveyor belt of disposable culture. He doesn't just design; he fabricates solutions using a "blue-collar" approach to high-concept problems. He is a cynical idealist building a world he can stand to live in.

OPERATIONAL ALLIANCE: FLOCK PHOTO
Occasionally, when the sun is up and the logistics get heavy, he rides shotgun for Flock Photo.

This operates on a different frequency than the SLTCo. archives—high-polish, award-winning photojournalism—but the work ethic remains the same. Here, SNAG acts as the logistical anchor. He hauls the glass, manages the environment, and clears the obstacles so the principal shooter can focus on the frame.

Second shooter, lighting tech, pack mule. He ensures the right tool is in the right hand at the exact moment it's needed.
