Fracture Print
Last May, a representative from Fracture contacting me about making and reviewing a test print. I’d been really interested in their product before and this gave me the chance to try it out. I had this shot printed and made into a 18″ Fracture. Overall, I’m extremely impressed with the quality of the Fracture. The print arrives [...]
1.29.2012 Big Sky
It’s been an unnaturally warm, windy, and dry winter in southwest Montana. Pre-season, the weather guys couldn’t stop talking about how this “La Nina” winter was going to bring more banner snowfall, cold temps, and winter conditions to much of the northwestern part of the country. That prediction has failed miserably. Bridger Bowl has received 88″ of [...]
1.27.2012 Bridger Bowl
Bridger was eerily similar to the East Coast today. The snow on the lower mountain was very heavy and wind-affected. Anywhere that the wind was able to scour was scraped down to hardpack and was almost unskiable. I hiked up B-Route once to Sluice Box. It was a gorgeous bluebird day and the views from the top of [...]
1.21.2012 Big Sky
Driving up Gallatin Canyon on my way to work this morning, I was despondent. at 6:30 AM the temperature was 42F and it was pouring rain. Very much par for the course for this winter. Last week a strong storm pounded Montana, delivering record snowfall in most of the major cities. Bozeman and the surrounding [...]
Boxing Day at Long Point Light
On Boxing Day we hiked out to Long Point Light in Provincetown, MA. Long Point Light is located on the very tip of Cape Cod and guards the entrance to Provincetown Harbor. It is located in the Province Lands of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Parking for Long Point is available at Pilgrim’s First Landing Park (Click the [...]
The Breakers, Newport, RI
While traveling back to Cape Cod for the Holidays I stopped in Newport, RI to tour the mansions at Christmastime. The three most popular of the palatial “summer cottages” are decorated resplendently for Christmas and are open for tours. The Breakers, although it cost more to tour ($20 as compared to $14) than Marble House [...]
Quick Shot of the Southern Bridger Range
I took this shot of the sun setting on the southern Bridger Range while I was out testing lens and camera combinations for the eclipse on Saturday.
Cyclocross Weekend Highlights
I shot over 2000 pictures this past weekend, culled those 2000 down to about 450 that I posted in my race galleries, and of those 450 I have three that are my favorites. This guy was a total badass. He had the best moustache of the entire race, no question. I’m really happy with this [...]
York Beach, ME
I worked up another panorama this evening that complements my mountain panorama from earlier today. This image was shot in York Beach in August of 2010. I walked outside for a bit not expecting much and was blown away by the size of the clouds in the sky. The sun was just beginning to set [...]
The Big Sky
Sometimes the scale of the mountains in Montana absolutely blows me away. This panorama was shot on the road to the Beehive Basin trailhead looking across the valley to Lone Peak and the surrounding mountains. Adobe‘s Content Aware Fill can really make panoramas a lot easier. In this case, I didn’t capture as much of [...]
“Spring” Skiing
Spring in Bozeman has brought us several back-to-back snow storms that have dumped several feet of snow in the mountains and in town. April 8 in Bozeman It snowed all day and all night and I woke up to easily a foot of snow in Bozeman. The drive up the canyon to Big Sky was [...]
Mad Wolf
5″ or so of cold smoke fell last night and it was a good day to work. I took this picture while ski cutting the Mad Wolf cornice under bluebird skies and had a total “I can’t believe this is my job” moment.
Skiing in Color
I reworked one of my images from the Mt. Blackmore trip and processed it in color instead of black & white. I’ve really been enjoying black & white processing lately, but I thought this was worth sharing too.
Mt. Blackmore Attempt – 2/20/2011
My friend Sam and I set out for Mt. Blackmore last Sunday, hoping to summit and ski some fresh snow. Our snowpack had finally started settling down and we were pretty sure we could and ski Blackmore. Plans change, however. The trail in to Blackmore winds it’s way up from Hyalite Reservoir just south of [...]
First Turns of the Season
Yesterday I cut class and headed up to the mountains. Bridger was crowded, with cars parked all the way down into the second lot. Not bad for the 27th of October. The four of us started hiking up, really wishing we had touring gear. First purchase of the year? I think so. We hiked up [...]
Hiking Sacagawea
So, finally, after three attempts, I summited Sacajawea. My father and I have tried, my mother and I have tried, and Alex and I have tried. All three times turned back by snow. Well, I made it this time. Here’s the GPS tracks. The full image gallery is here. Summary stats for the hike from [...]
