I have a 2 year old nephew (his birthday was a few days ago) who loves to climb on things. He scared my brother and my sister-in-law by climbing to the 2nd floor on the outside of the stair railing. While this is a rather admirable feat for a then less than 2 year old, [...]

Adventure Photography Gear - Black Rapid RS-Sport R-Strap Review
If you’ve seen me outdoors, you’ve undoubtedly seen me with a camera in hand. Combining outdoor sports with photography is sometimes hard, but always rewarding.
One thing that makes it hard is handling and securing photography gear. When I first saw an R strap I was pretty excited, they are made by a company called Black [...]
#YosTweetup April 2011 - Yosemite Climbing Trip In Pictures and Video
My mind has been in the visual space lately, how could it not be, five days spent in breathtaking Yosemite will do that to you.

Joshua Tree Through New Eyes
Joshua Tree Fall season has started off with a bang for me. I went out this past weekend, Thursday night through Sunday and had a blast. Why do you say? Was it because I did my hardest red point ever? Was it because I crushed it non stop 3 days in a row? Nope, it [...]

Then I saw the white flakes floating from the sky. They melted a moment later on my face and hands. What!?! We were in the Nevada [...]
Joshua Tree Weekends

I’m not caught up in terms of posting pics but here’s a video I made of the weekend [...]

Start ‘em Young - Mountain Biking?
Ok, not exactly mountain biking, but a bike that can get kids biking a bit earlier than when I started (I think I started around 7).
I went to an art show curated by a friend of mine the other day and the subject of kids and outdoor activities came up, apparently she’s got her 4 [...]
