Recording the adventurous life.
I'll try to post my most recent work, published writing and imagery, older favorites, and thoughts on the game of photography here. Check back once in a while and have a look.

I live near Seattle, Washington in the foothills of my home mountain range of the Cascades with my wife and son. Fortunate enough to be introduced to human powered adventure as a kid, I discovered a lifelong passion early. Not long after this introduction to adventure sport came another lasting love in the form of photography. In the early 80’s I began to combine the two and found I could express my love of wild places and endeavors through the lens. Along the way I began to express this love through the written word as well.
I have been fortunate to have family and friends willing to share adventures with me to truly wild places. From exquisitely remote ski mountaineering trips in the St. Elias mountains of Canada to exploring the Patagonian Icecap to secret spots an hour from home, my friends have given these adventures life. These special people populate my imagery, lending their unique personalities and passions to my art.
Motion:Emotion - they are entwined for me, one initiates the other in a kind of symbiotic relationship. When I am in motion in the wild world it never fails to produce an emotional response, which in turn encourages me to seek wild motion yet again.
But I’ve found that my photographic curiosity is not limited to the wild. It is, quite simply, a way for me to “let the art out.” So my lens often turns to a variety of subjects, looking for a clear pathway to the human heart.
Be well and ski well.

In 2003, my wife, son and I left our front door for a human powered adventure. Along the way I learned some lessons and got a chance to write about them in this magazine article.
In the next few years we will repeat the trip and hope for a longer outing...
This post is number 1,000. Just a number, but a nice looking one and sounds kind of big. Thanks for stopping by and having a look - I appreciate it. As I've said before, the blog is a wonderful excuse for me to touch my photography nearly every day and this makes me feel centered and allows me to "get the art out." I think that if I kept it inside I'd be harder to live with than I already am...so I'll keep it up for a while longer.
Be well and I'll see you out there...

Saw this feline through the window of a store in downtown Zurich the other night.
An absolute educational necessity - tree climbing. And one must get high enough
in the tree to bring on butterflies in the stomach!
Today: water usage and treatment

Two families following their bliss on the water.
Inside these thick mats of sea foam it is eerily quiet. Voices are muffled
even a few feet away.
In the bow with a steady stroke.
Ling Cod + veges + spices = yum!
Sea shanties and ballads on the beach under the stars. What a time!
