The December 2009 issue of National Geographic Adventure features one of my images of Dean Potter’s world record setting wingsuit flight from the Eiger in Switzerland. My personal congratulations go out to Dean, as this feat, on top of years of pushing the limits of possibility in rock climbing and BASE jumping, have earned him the first ever Best of Adventure Readers’ Choice Award.
On a sad note, it has recently been announced that this will be the final issue of National Geographic Adventure. I feel very fortunate to have contributed to such a great publication over the years. Best wishes to the wonderful staff. I hope our paths cross again soon.
Man, sorry to hear that. That's been one of my favorite magazines since its early days.

Hi Nir-
No jumping for me (this time). I was hanging out the side of a helicopter with camera in hand, tracking Dean on his flight.
