Rolling hills with evergreen trees and purple flowers. A black-and-white photo of a man's head appear on the left side of the screen, and a black-and-white photo of a cowboy on a horse is on the left. Caption. "Love the Wild West. Horses neigh."

Nate holds a smartphone next to a black-and-white photo of a man using a polaroid camera. Underneath the photo is text that reads, "Nope! Cell phones not needed." Caption. "Let's dive a little deeper into the art of the selfie."

Photo of Nate is on a blackboard background with a chalk billboard drawn around it. Many light gray spray paint cans are next to it. Caption. "He borrowed money and made a ton of spray-paint cans."

Blackboard background with Nate talking on the right and a black-and-white photo of men engaging in tug of war on the right. Each has a chalk border drawn around it. Caption. "You have to dig pretty deep into history."

Nate wears a black shirt and talks in front of a grid-paper background with a sketch of the Roman Colosseum and a person's silhouette on it. Caption. "As well as Tunisian art."

White building with modern lines, many windows, and a sign that reads, "Delta Company. A Matsco Company." The sky is cloudy, the trees are bare, and a person with a green hoodie rides a unicycle in front.

Nate talks in front of a background showing piles of extremely colorful paint pigments. Caption. "Check this out."

Outdoor waterpark with a big gray tube slide, a colorful wavy slide, various attractions, and other types of slides in the distance. Caption. "As well as a fourth-generation owner of the park."

Kaleidoscopic pattern primarily in blues and greens. Caption: I worked more and more on generating these images.

Nate leans over a plywood table and points at a tablet. A piece of paper, pencil, eraser, and e-reader device are also on the table. Art and art supplies are behind him. Caption. "I found an image online I'll work with from the tablet."
