A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph the Enduro World Series (EWS) in Winter Park, Colorado. If you aren’t a mountain biker or you’ve been living in a cave, enduro is the latest mountain bike craze: competitors race multiple timed stages, with a downhill emphasis, usually over two or three days. Sometimes […]
This Big Sur photo gallery was prompted by the now ubiquitous “throwback Thursday” social media post. This morning, I decided to share a photo from a road trip Jenni and I did this time last year, where we drove down the coast of California, from the Bay Area to LA. The highlight of that drive […]
My fans and followers know me primarily as a photographer, writer and bacon lover. But I’ve also been dabbling in video for the past few years. It’s mostly been in the form of camera intros and reviews, as well as to test the video features and performance of cameras I’ve reviewed. But I’ve also shot […]

It’s a soft, completely collapsible 1-liter (34 ounces) water bottle with a push/pull cap that I carry inside the pocket of a light softshell jacket. I started ski touring a few years ago to get more untracked powder, keep up my cardio in […]
I love small cameras. If you’ve been following my camera reviews for any amount of time, you should already know that. I’m usually willing to sacrifice some performance and image quality in order to have a camera that’s easy to travel with, carry in my pocket, or pack into the mountains. I also shoot a […]
