Trey Ratcliff: 1k Stories from 1k Places
TL;DR: The 1K1K Project
I’m releasing 1,000 unique 1 of 1 photography NFTs from my travels across all seven continents, each with its own story as part of a PROOF Collective official collaboration. In each story, I may talk about the location, the adventure, the drugs, the hardships, the love, personal breakthroughs, personal embarrassments, struggles, or just random hilarious and unbelievable things that happened.
> Mint Date: December 19th (Hour 1, Proof. Hour 2, Moonbirds/Oddities, Hour 3. Official Collabs e.g. PREMINT)
> Cost: 0.1 ETH
> Utility: 6 of the 1,000 NFTs will receive actual large format physical prints, fabricated to museum/archival quality.
> Extra Utility: Below!
> Rarity: YEAH!
> NOTE: As the project is overallocated, each mint window is first come first served and the project could sell out at any point.

A soothing bamboo forest in Kyoto, Japan. Note that all the images contain much longer stories and not a little dinky caption like this.
“Trey’s pictures are a daily source of inspiration for me. I can’t count the times that I’ve gotten stuck in my writing and, as I sit there staring at my computer screen desperately trying to think of the next idea, the screensaver kicks in with one of Trey’s images, and the shapes and colors triggered something in me that got me to the next note…”
– Hans Zimmer, Composer – The Lion King, Gladiator, Batman, Inception, Dunkirk, etc
Unique and Fun Reveal
Reveal will be 3 days after mint, with each Photo and Story being revealed once per minute – people can watch the reveal in a special channel in the PROOF discord or Trey’s Discord – this will give people time to see the different photos and read the stories rather than a huge spam of 1,000 photos at once – Entire reveal will take approximately 16.666666 hours.
Here is another of the one thousand unique images taken near my home in New Zealand.
Those SIX Uber Uniques
6 of the 1,000 NFTs will receive actual physical prints if they get one of the images above.
There is a TWIST. You have to own it on March 31, 2023. So, it may trade hands many times, but whoever has it on that date can get the actual print.
These prints are quite large and will be quite the statement in your home!
You can join the ranks of other physical print collectors like NFL stars, actual knights, and even celebrities like Edward Norton and Leo DiCappy. That’s what I call him… my little pet name. He likes it.
Here is one of the Uber-Unique images where you get the actual physical print, created to museum/archival quality. There will only be 3 of this image fabricated, ever. It also looks amazing at night with a gentle natural light illuminating it.
What About Utility?
The art IS the utility, yo! But, I did come up with a fun idea. Each NFT will count as a “ticket” to get you into a private VIP event as I tour around 30 cities over the next several years.
In the afternoon, I’ll do a free art talk for kids (of all ages!) and do some tutorials with our partners at the Ritz-Carlton or some other fancy schmancy hotels, depending on the city. Then, we’ll make the muggles leave for a closed-door sesh for VIPs that hold my NFTs! We’ll sip champagne and I’ll create a piece of art live in a fun chatty environment. Then, when I’m done, I’ll airdrop it to everyone that showed up. Fun!
And Rarity?
Well, by default, 1 of 1’s are rare but fear not, dear NFT collector, this drop goes even further than that.
We also have a fun way to rank photos based on the “Word Cloud” of words used in the stories. Note that this is just an example and the percentages are made up. We’ll see the actual percentages and words when the reveal happens after minting.

About Trey
Trey Ratcliff is a Smithsonian exhibited, Sotheby’s auctioned, National Geographic featured, photographer, artist, writer and adventurer.
His fine art is collected by people all around the world including from knights to professional sports stars to celebrities like Edward Norton and Leonardo DiCaprio. Trey’s images examine the tension between this reality and another. He is driven to help spread consciousness and love around the world.
In 2021 Trey launched a series of NFTs ranging from more traditional landscapes and cityscapes as well as Burning Man to others which explore AI based art. The NFT series have exceeded 1000ETH in sales.
Each day, Trey posts a new photo to his website, Stuck In Customs, the world’s #1 Travel Photography blog, which receives over one million monthly page views.
His photos have been viewed over 140 billion times and he currently has over 7 million social media followers. He uses these platforms to help inspire the world to be a better, more conscious, more loving place.
Here is one of three from my fine art collection (this one is sold out). These are priced at between $75,000 and $95,000. This is the same print that Leo DiCappy has… so if you end up with one of these NFTs, you can make a flex to your friends and say Leo also has one! I certainly use that flex. I mean, well, I would never do that here.
