The Road Goes on Forever

Gus Fruh

Saturday I was fortunate enough to go climbing with some new friends. Tyler, Clarisse, and Margaret took me out to Gus Fruh Wall down in the Greenbelt. With Tyler putting up the lines, I was able to get practice on some of the harder grades that I have done on …

Happy Monday

Happy Monday everyone! I have been seriously slacking as far as posting new material goes, so I’ll throw up a daily photo post. This is me at Seismic Wall. After my trip to NYC this week I will have a lot of new material to write up.

Seismic

Just another quick upload of some shots we got today at Seismic Wall.

Surfing the Rock

In life I will rarely find myself in a state of calm amazement. My total consciousness and fascination taken over by observing something incredible. Masters of climbing seem to flow along their route. Each move and hold with complete ease. The elite do not need to overpower a route with …

Climbing In the Capital of Texas

After celebrating Easter this morning, I was lucky enough to head down to the Barton Creek Greenbelt to climb with great people. These quality limestone walls are right in the heart of Texas’ capital city. The atmosphere in the Greenbelt is incredibly unique. Austinites frequent this escape from the urban …

The Zilker Park Kite Festival

Here are some shots from a recent festival here in the capital of Texas. Austin has the most incredible balance of outdoor culture, natural beauty, and urban lifestyle that I have seen in a city. There are more quality venues and events every single day than one could shake a …

Great Rewards

Yesterday marked an incredible milestone since I began blogging on a whim two years ago. It was an incredible surprise to find out that I was Freshly Pressed! To all of you that left the great compliments, thank you again! It has made the effort worthwhile. I really wanted to …

The Wasatch

Summer hiking and climbing is one of my greatest passions. From the moment that you begin to make up your pack for that days mission, anticipation starts to build. Each peak has its own personality. Different pitches, ridges, faces, and prominence result in a challenge unique to each mountain. Mount …

The Guadalupe River: First Impressions

I have made two trips to the Guadalupe River since making my way back to Texas. I was a little wary of how decent the fly fishing for trout would be because of the warmer temperatures. To my pleasant surprise, the Guadalupe seems to be full of rainbows eager to …

Flies and Such

I get to hit the river for the first time in over a month tomorrow. Whilst grabbing all of my fly fishing gear, I thought about how long its been since I took some shots with my Canon. It took me only a couple minutes to throw these together and …

Hidden Gem

I took this shot at the beginning of the winter back in Utah. A sunset over Mount Timpanogos and Heber City. I figured that I should share it after browsing through my photo libraries.

PhotoWizard: A True Post-Processing App

I just downloaded a new app for photo processing on my iPhone. PhotoWizard is a paid app, and at only $1.00, it is the best app for the money out there. The reviews touted it’s photoshop like results and ease of use. It features an abundance of filter options, preset …

On The Road Again

Well it has been an incredibly exciting time in my life as of late. I’ve successfully made my way into my place in the state capital of Texas. Now that I’m settled I have time to post some photos of the trip down. Places of interest were Moab, Durango, and …

Alta Is For Skiers

With the first real storm system of the season rolling through the Wasatch, my father and I pulled out the powder skis and headed up to Alta. The drive is officially known as Utah state highway 210, geographically know as Little Cottonwood Canyon, and unofficially known as the epicenter for …

New Year’s Resolutions: Why Wait?

As this year passes, I hate to make the cliche post about my resolutions. The point is not that I think New Year’s resolutions are unimportant in any way. Why should you wait until January 1st to set out and improve the way that you live your life? Every day …

Headlamps Burning: Olympus Night Hike

My brother, sister, and her boyfriend are in town and they wanted to get out and do some hiking since the snow is nonexistent. I said that I would be happy to bring them on one of my favorites, except for one problem. I work a nine to five and …

Aspen

Just a daily photo post for now. This was taken this fall. I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Photo of the Day 12/23/11

Recently I was browsing through my hard drive and looking through all of the photos I’ve taken over the past year. Then I stumbled upon these. I can’t believe that I haven’t shared them yet. Taken up at Cardiff pass with my brother and father. Great memories. 2011 was an …

Rome SDS Pre Jib

This Saturday I made my way up to The Canyons to shoot the Rome SDS Pre Jib event. The course setup was excellent and provided a lot of room for creativity. My favorite feature, as you will be able to see, was the dog house. This feature had three take …

Instagram: Photography Fun

Many photographers get a little perturbed at iPhone applications like Instagram. With smartphone cameras capable of photos in the 8 megapixel range, it has never been easier to take quality shots. Instagram, for those who aren’t familiar, is an application where users can apply an assortment of predesigned filters to photos …

Gear…

Everything that I consider fun takes so much gear! Skiing, photography, backpacking, fly fishing, climbing, biking… All of this translates to an abundance of stuff. As I get ready to do a few laps at the hill tomorrow, I felt like venting about just how much gear it takes to …

Daily Capture 12/2/11

Another short post for y’all today. Almost done with a very long stint of travel. A photograph of the inside of the huge diesel I have been driving.

Those City Lights

There really aren’t many cities where you get amazing lights. I am not talking about bright neon like the vegas strip. I am talking about a vast sea of glittering lights. The contrast from rugged alpine ranges and the urban sprawl of Salt Lake city afford the area one of …

My Ten Observations and Thoughts About Holiday Travel

1. No matter where you are going, you will not get there on time. Face it. You will be late. Plan accordingly. 2. If you are flying into any airport in the NYC area you will be really late. This is unavoidable. Especially since the weather in the NY/NJ area …
