My earliest memory of Will charts all the way back to his 5th birthday. I had wanted to stay after the day’s festivities had ended in order to play with Will’s gifts, a dream to which five-year-old Will replied “…party’s over, Shea." Since that birthday, Will and I have enjoyed summers in Santa Barbra as junior lifeguards, treked up and down the coast of California in surf contests, and reunited in Santa Barbara during the holidays. Adler’s parents helped to cultivate Will’s proactive spirit, which is evident in his tireless pursuit of his passions. Photography, a long-standing passion of Will’s, has been inspired by sailing trips around the world with his brother, as well as by his uncle, Tom Adler – an iconic figure in Californian surf photography.

Will’s passions are paying off, as he has already developed an incredibly unique style of his own. We are thankful for creatively driven friends like Will, and are excited about his promising future in the world of photography.
