I'd recommend viewing this in lightbox given the aspect ratio of this shot.
So 2012 was a crazy year for me. I saw a lot of the world and learned a new definition to the word “busy” as I finished the first semester of my senior year in college. It was a season in which I had to unfortunately neglect my camera more than I wished. 2013 will not be the same in that regard. I have high hopes to be moving after graduating in May depending on where I get accepted for a photography internship.
I took this photo when it was freezing cold and semi raining and it was beyond frozen by the time it was done. Halfway through taking the photo I had a woman with a camera come by and ask if she could take some portraits of me while I worked. It’s like photographers are magnets to each other or something. That lake is usually deserted so I don’t know what the chances of that encounter are. I’ve also been working on making this into a cinemagraph, so stay tuned for that. I hope you all had a great New Years. I’ll be posting a 2012 review very soon :)
It is a simple matter of geography that if the heavens are somewhere in the skies above, then the path to them is up a mountain.
The mountain in question here was Dog, which Josh and I ascended on Fourth of July weekend and were amazed to see fields of Balsamroot in full bloom. We timed our climb perfectly to the the summit just as the sun was setting and I grabbed this quick image of the Josh hiking through the fields toward the summit just as the sun was limning the tops of the flowers. I have a version both with and without the wedge of sky in the upper corner, but ultimately I think I like this one better.
There was no doubt in my mind at this point that we had truly started the climb. Conor was powering ahead as usual and I fell to the back as usual...I blame my photography habit! I was following their steps in front and thought to myself that this front on attack on the climb was really taxing on my calves and, if I wanted to keep this up I would have to change it up a little.
At that time I began zig zagging up the climb. In doing so I was able to change my stride to a more comfortable pace and angle and pick up speed. Of course it was four of my steps to one of theirs but the effort seemed to be a quarter of theirs and I soon made up ground. Seeing the ease of the zig zag technique and probably feeling their calves burning, it wasn't long before the others joined in.
Overall though, this section of the climb turned out to be not as steep and not as icy as expected. All the speculation and pre planning that we had done from a distance back at camp the previous night was all in vain, although, the anticipation is part of the enjoyment of it all.
Steps at an Apple Store in NYC, not only do they sell cool products, they have some seriously cool stores, the stairs in this one were great!
Hope everyone is doing great, I am, but finding time short, running around like crazy! Will be visiting throughout the day catching up!!!
Needed to post a Sliders Sunday today, I will be missing it next week!!

Motography August 2014 in the Rattlesnake Canyon looking toward the Grande Ronde River canyon. Absolutely amazing canyon to ride motorcycles in. So far one of my favorites.

We are just crossing the notch in the main ridge, where the summit of Lipnik shows for the first time. The passage is not too exposed.
The Great Plains begins.

THANK YOU ALL MY KIND FLICKR FRIENDS.
YOUR FAVS, COMMENTS AND INVITATIONS ARE VERY MOTIVATING AND APPRECIATED.
It was my idea to climb up the side of Winter Corrie... However, the further up we climbed the steeper it got. After scrambling through a vertical bog, we were presented by one final challenge on the ascent: a vertical snow cornice.

Even though this group was going up, it looks as if they are heading down, and that's what caught my attention in making this image.
