Tom Brown III,

also known as "T3", is a professional photographer, lifelong student, practitioner, and teacher of ancestral living skills, wilderness survival, animal tracking, and nature connection. 

Born in New Jersey in 1978, he grew up learning the skills our ancestors used to live close to the Earth from his father, Tom Brown Jr, founder of the Tracker School, one of the world's oldest and most respected wilderness survival and nature awareness schools. 

Growing up at the Tracker School, Tom observed firsthand the profound effect reconnecting people to nature could have on the individual and the planet. After spending a few years wandering across America, he has spent the last 20 years passing on the skills he learned as a child. Tom lives in Oregon and recently decided to put together this website, which blends his primary modalities of reconnecting people to the natural world, education, and photography. This led to the birth of FutureNature and T3photgraphy.

 FutureNature is the education aspect, running classes around the globe both by himself and with leading experts in specific skill sets. T3photgraphy will help people see Nature through his eyes, leading them to understand that spectacular natural beauty can be found anywhere, at any time.

Since getting his first Nikon camera in 1984, Photography has become a lifelong passion. While he loves all types of nature photography, he is most passionate about macro photography, which is photographing the small things most people walk by. When not teaching Wilderness living skills, taking photos, or writing, Tom is a student of life, always trying to unwrap the mysteries of how humans, Nature, and the more-than-human world interact. More importantly, he is always asking, "What's happening here? What is this teaching me?
