Desert Solitare

Daily Photo - Desert Solitare It was early August and the heat was blazing. We had just finished an emergency pit stop for new front tires on my Grand Vitara. We were east bound, headed for Moab and a few days of climbing and camping fun. This was my first time in the beautiful area

Sending Independence

Though It may not be entirely relevant to travel and adventure photography, It is relevant to inspiration, So I must say how much I enjoy the music of Pink Floyd. Last night I saw Pink Floyd: The Experience here in Northeast PA, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It came complete with the hits, bright lights, and even and

Diner Dash

Daily Photo - Diner Dash We had just finished an afternoon of photo walking in Ventura and Eileen, Kelly and I were quite hungry.(especially Kelly after his epic bike crash!) As we walked along the downtown strip of Ventura, I couldn't help but notice colorful signs. This old fashioned diner sign especially caught my attention.

The Barista

Today my friend from New York made me a delicious cup of espresso, so I felt like today's photo had to be coffee related. Daily Photo - The Barista During my monthlong exploration of the American west, I spent a considerable amount of time in Seattle. With many friends in the area, it made it easy to

Half Dome Fog

Daily Photo - Half Dome Fog After nearly five days of rain, we crawled out of our tents and wrung out our wet bones. The sky opened up to show off it's brilliant blues, and most of the beautiful features that Yosemite is known for became visible from base to summit. With coffee in our

Rainier The Chanllenger

I stepped off the paved trail, my boot plunged into the sun ripened snow of the Muir Snowfield. Standing majestically, miles above me the glaciated slopes of Mount Rainier called to me. After months of training, fundraising, and traveling to smaller mountains to test my mettle, I had arrived, It all came down to this

Easy Rider

So I have to apologize for missing a few days of photos while I have been traveling. I promise I won't let it happen again. It's crazy how you can be so consistent with something when it is part of your daily routine, but as soon as you break that routine, you forget about things.

Gearhead: Petzl Tikka XP 2

Headlamps. What could be more simple? It’s a piece of gear that every lover of the outdoors needs. Chances are they’re all the same, right? Wrong. Having owned plenty of budget headlamps over the years, I know all of the justifications. It was cheap, it seemed just as bright; if it broke I just bought
