Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.
Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.
The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.
The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.
A lot of growing things intruded on the center of streams this summer, small shoots and ferns and other signs of tiny life that won't survive the wetter winter. The rest just do their best to make it up and over, away from the danger of rushing water, still swallowing all the light they can get. Sometimes I seem like one of those sun-beggars – looking for brightness, but backing away from too much of it. If I ever get the eyeful I've been asking for, it'll carry me over through many months of darkness. It's like one of those trace minerals we need to survive, iodine or zinc, cobalt, fluoride, or selenium. I feel the same about big, bright days. Every once in a while, I give in to those wide and naked skies. But for most of the other hundreds of days, I'm happy to hide in the shade.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
Trace_Fossil_1: The photo shows burrows from possibly a trilobite. This sample was collected from the Park Shale in Yellowstone National Park during a field investigation on Mount Holmes back in 2001, in which baseline paleontological information was gathered for the Yellowstone area.
Collecting any natural resources, including rocks and fossils, is illegal in Yellowstone.

An old Roundhouse is all thats left of this sprawling deserted land just south of San Francisco near Brisbane. The roundhouse has been reduced to maybe a quarter of its original size, and half of that has severe fire damage. This is only the second Roundhouse I've visited. The first being the Steamwhistle Brewery in Toronto, but at least that one had been restored and protected. This is looking south east inside the section that still has a roof.

Will Bruce has worked with me a few times before- he rides BMX and I've done both a video profile and a normal portrait of him.
While working on the launch issue of Vertical Floor, a parkour/freerunning magazine, I had the opportunity to conceptualize a photo for an article on the Leave No Trace movement- a group of traceurs who are committed to protecting the environment. The group and clean-up photos submitted by chapters of the group didn't spark the interest of the creative team, so I was brought in. The assignment called for a photo representing the cause while showing motion.
I pitched a light-painted "ghost" with a portrait on one side. My idea was originally meant to be in an urban environment from a high angle. Creative decided that they wanted it to be in a green space to represent nature. I set a shooting schedule, scouted a location, and got in touch with Will, who I thought would work as the ghost.
Creative met me at the location about halfway into setup. A few test shots, and we were working. The shooting took about an hour. I used a 10-second exposure, lighting Will with a flashlight while he walked. At around 9 seconds, I used a cybersync to trigger an Einstein aimed toward Will's finishing mark. I used a gridded medium softbox feathered up to underexpose his legs.
In case anyone is wondering, this is a composite of four images and took slightly more than five hours to finish in Photoshop. I did it in-camera as well, just to make sure I could, but creative wanted a composite :)
