Get ready for an unforgettable journey through history, mystery, and stunning landscapes.

Masa’s breathtaking photos helped inspire the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, leaving a legacy that still resonates today.

But he didn’t stop there. With fresh insights from a recent trip to Japan, Paul’s upcoming documentary will reveal even more layers to Masa’s life and impact.
