Shutterbug Article

As many of you know I do a lot of work for non-profit environmental organizations throughout the world.  This past year in an effort to get more photographers out making a difference with their images I teamed up with Shutterbug Magazine to do an article focusing on shooting for a cause.  The April issue is on news stands right now, and I encourage all photographers who care about the future of our planet to take a read and start changing the world around them.

The article can be viewed here at my website.

Winter Accent of Mount Whitney

A couple weeks ago I finally had a chance to try climbing Mt. Whitney in the winter.  While the lack of snow this winter has frustrated all of us skiers it has made for some great winter climbing conditions on the high peaks of the Sierra.  The lack of snow also made for an interesting and frustrating approach/bushwack. 

While we didn't summit due to ice on the approach we enjoyed a 10 degree open air bivy at over 12,000ft under the full moon.  After a wonderful sunrise photo session my partner and I both agreed that wild location and amazing photography more than made up for our lack of a summit.  Besides we both have been to the top several times by other routes.
