Climbing in the Puoux

I love climbing photography! Climbing is a big part of my life and as such I think I am drawn shooting it. I have also got to know a few pro climbers in the process. Two of which are Mayan Smith-Gobat and Ben Rueck. Both travel the world and climb in some of the most amazing places on the planet. Hopefully someday I’ll figure out how to get on that band wagon, but until then I get to shoot them in my back yard on rare occasion. These were taken at the Puoux Climbing Area in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Keep on, keepin on!

California Road Trip

I recently took a trip to the California Coast. It was a quick one from San Fransicso to San Diego. I wish there would of been more time to stop and smell the roses, but it was cool to get an idea what is out there. I always struggle with vacations photos. Sometimes I have to force myself to take images. I think part of it is because I overwhelm myself with gear. So this time I went simple 50 mm. That’s it. It was a nice release. I did use my 200 for the seals and 1 cliff shot, but the rest was a 50 1.4. It felt very liberating. I suggest you try it!

These Whispy things reminded me of cat tails from back home, except these were 8 ft tall!!
