ShareLast winter Claire and I were caving and packrafting in Northern Thailand. When some friendly cavers told us we needed to take are Kokopelli boats to the giant Xe Bang Fai ( Tham Khoun Xe ) river cave in Laos. A week or so later we rolled into the dusty town of Bualapha. This region […]
Share With the onset of winter looming over our heads, Braden and I set out to complete a river trip we had been scheming for the entire summer. Thwarted by “bad weather” a few times, it appeared that a window of sunny skied opportunities just wasn’t in the making. I checked the forecast once again […]
ShareThis past July, a group of core American cavers spent 10 days exploring and mapping remote alpine caves in the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana. With a surveyed depth of 1,659 ft, “Tears of the Turtle” is the deepest cave in the continental U.S. It is the first 500 meter deep limestone cave in the […]
Share I awaken in a panic and spring upright in my sleeping bag. The contents of my stomach are desperately trying to escape. I frantically unzip the tent door and my head exits the door just as vomit sprays onto my shoes outside. The retched sounds are almost drowned out by the orchestra of the […]
ShareThe wind howls across the alpine tundra. In the distance, rocky spires stretch to the cloud-filled sky. I imagine an ancient ruined city, like Machu Picchu, at its base, but I see no trees, buildings, roads or human development at all. It would be serene if it weren’t for the two thousand sheep. If I […]
ShareI learned a new way to break a camera the other day, but more importantly I learned how to repair it in the field. There I was several days from internet access let alone a Nikon Service Center; Who BTW are more often than not a pain in the ass to deal with. Apparently some […]
ShareAre you going on a white water adventure river trip and want to take a camera? What camera should you take and how can you protect it from the water while rafting? I was a river guide for a few years. Running rivers became an addiction. I still try to work a few trips a […]
Share It seems I picked a good winter to miss early season skiing in Colorado. While friends at home are dreaming of snow, but biking into the new year. I currently find myself floating around Nicaragua shooting for NGOs. I’m a big fan of one way ticket, no literary, travel and this trip is that. […]
ShareThis project started one morning; when as I walked up to my trusty 1970‘s Schwinn bicycle. I noticed the way the handlebars of two adjacent vintage bikes seemed to be holding each other in a loving embrace. I wasn’t in a rush so I spent a few minutes observing as the light changed. I came […]
ShareWhen I heard the course for the 2011 24 Hour mountain bike nationals was moved to a city park. I thought to myself; ”This better not be a lap in the grass around the playground”. I mean shooting bikes in a playground could be really cool, but probably not with Josh Tostado. I was covering […]
