I’d consider myself a very amateur photographer. I didn’t really get into “practicing” photography until the last 3 or 4 years. I shoot on a 2012 Sony RX100, and a Sony a6700. For the a6700, I’ve got both a Sigma 18-55mm and a Sigma 16-300mm lens. I tend to enjoy telephoto / zoomed in photos of outdoor and mountainscapes, and general city life. I’m still working on getting comfortable photographing people, but feel like the candidness of people going about their daily life makes for some of my favorite imagery.
My partner and I like exploring smaller, lesser known areas of countries the best. We’ve both visited the major cities of Italy – Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Bologna. However, we enjoyed our trip to Peloponnesia in Greece and had heard …
Ruth Mountain is off of Highway 542 on the way to the Mount Baker ski resort. I’d been wanting to ski it for a few years, as a way to get eyes on Mt. Shuksan’s north and north-east faces.
Ruth itself is a pretty easy ski, but if you wait …
My partner and I planned a trip from Lisbon, up through the interior of Portugal, to Porto. Portugal is chock full of UNESCO world heritage sites, excellent food, and some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met traveling.
My partner and I had each done a good bit of traveling around the Greek islands, but had never explored Peloponnesia. We’d heard it’s “where Greek people go on vacation”. We spent two weeks traveling around the area, stopping …
We spent two weeks in India, first endjoying a week in Bangalore for a friend’s wedding, and then traveling further north to visit Agra, Delhi, and Jaipur.
A lot of times, when we’re planning routes, we rely on the trip reports of folks who’ve skied that terrain before. This time, my friend Ross and I wanted a route that we couldn’t find any background information on. A line where …
One week after checking Hidden Lake Lookout off of my list, I skied the biggest line of my life. Ross and I had only half-heartedly talked about skiing this peak, expecting the dangerous avalanche conditions that had for so long plagued the Cascades …
I’d been vying to ski the Hidden Lake Lookout in the North Cascades nearly the entire time I’ve lived in the PNW. Sneakily tucked away off of Cascade River Road near Marblemount, this peak offers some of the best views the Cascades have …
My friend David moved to London recently, so we set out to do a long trail-run before he left the States. We decided on Buck Creek Pass Loop, a 36 mile loop on the east side of Glacier Peak in the Eastern Cascades. It had been on my list for a long …
It’s that time of year again! Every year for the past few years, I done a solo ski tour of Eldorado Peak in the North Cascades. This doesn’t preclude doing it with friends – it’s just a climb that really tests your mettle (you …
