Nikon - DSLR Guide

Nikon has just published “Guide to Digital DSLR Photography”. Packaged with your new camera, this well written booklet is full of tips and images from members of the Nikon family. I’m proud to have a few of my images featured here, including a rare look at the man behind the scenes, my Studio Director, Blaine Deutsch, along with his daughter Kalyn.

As I learned many years ago, no camera will take great pictures by itself. Learn to use all its features and understand what makes up a well-composed image. Then, when you have all the rules committed to memory, forget every one of them, go out there and have fun! This is how the most creative images come about.

Protecting Our Playgrounds - Access Fund

I have a HUGE favor to ask - Please join me in supporting the Access Fund.

It only takes three minutes and is a fun way to share your adventures.Visit www.MeettheMoment.com or see below for all the details.

For more than 20 years, my core passions in life have been rock climbing and telling stories through photography. For much of this time I’ve been an Access Fund member, and more recently, a board member. I'm a big believer in what the Access Fund does because they are the only organization dedicated solely to protecting the places that I love to play and depend upon as backdrops for my photos.
 
Clif Bar has launched a campaign to rally all of us to capture the storytelling moments of outdoor adventure while protecting the places we play. I’m asking all of you to take three minutes and choose a picture that you have captured during one of your adventures and submit it to the Meet the Moment site. For each photo submitted, Clif Bar will donate $5 to your choice of one of five charities (please pick the Access Fund!!!). Once 10,000 images have been submitted, Clif Bar has pledged to double the contribution dedicated to each organization (This is a huge boost for the non-profits!!!). All of us have the opportunity to share our adventures with the world and celebrate the spirit of our tribe while protecting our playgrounds.
 
Many thanks to Clif Bar for making this happen. This is a company who truly embraces corporate responsibility and has raised the bar (excuse the pun) for all others. I have taken the initiative by posting one of my images. All I ask is that, whether you’re a professional photographer, athlete, a passionate climber, friend or member of my family, please take a moment to submit a photograph to help raise money to support the Access Fund in protecting our climbing future. Thank you!

Outside - Alaska

Having just returned from an epic trip to Alaska, I took a few moments to relax and flip through the new issue of Outside. I had to chuckle when I came upon a few images from my stock archive, taken during my last trip north.

In August of 2008, I traveled to the Chilikadrotna and Mulchatna rivers in Alaska with my good friend and writer Dan Duane, guide extraordinaire Dan Oberlatz and advocate & fisheries biologist Carol Ann Woody on assignment for Men's Journal. I was there to photograph the site of the proposed Pebble Mine, an area of ongoing battle between a corporate operation, looking to strip the area of its copper, and an environmental effort to save the rivers from certain disaster. Returning to the state and taking in the grandeur of one of the few remaining truly wild places on the planet, I was reminded that the Alaska wilderness is a prize truly worth fighting for.

Pick up a copy at the newsstand or visit the Outside website to see the images.
