Chilean Patagonia in October…. Check!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

After some serious debate, my wife and I have decided to push back our trip to Mt. Everest and Nepal to April of 2011 and instead focus our Fall on Patagonia. On October 20th, we will fly to Chile and prepare to spend 14 days traveling through the Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile and Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. A good friend of mine and an amazing photographer, Jon Cornforth was kind enough to let me publish some of his photography work from the region so that you could get an idea of the landscapes I will be documenting come this fall. Enjoy!

The Importance of Love

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Love

Love, like life, sometimes seems to be this intangible experience that we all know is part of our existence, but we just can’t seem to wrap our heads around what it actually is. For thousands of years, the human species have tried to define love.

_-2

What is love? Why does it make us do the things we do? and more importantly where can we find it?

_

The reality of love is that it is full of complexities. It is unique and yet abundant. Beautiful and yet Painful. Undefinable and yet so specific at times.

B&W Heart

Love is everything and everyone. It is all around us and within us. Love is in nature, on the street, in the ocean and even in our sleep.

Una Via

As we go through life we sometimes latch onto these ideas of what we think love is, of what we think our special someone is going to be like or what our “dream job” would be and while most of my friends would probably call me a dreamer, I have come to realize that life, like love, is so far beyond our wildest imaginations that they don’t even come close to how amazing they both are. Today marks the one year anniversary of the day I met the woman that changed my l life, Sarah. Henry David Thoreau once said, “Our truest lives are when we are in dreams awake”. That has to be true because every morning that I wake up next to Sarah, I swear I must be dreaming. Happy Anniversary Baby!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Happy Thanksgiving. What an incredible year we have had so far! This Thanksgiving I am thankful for all those that I love. For my family and friends, co-workers and co-conspirators. This year I wasn’t hiking through the Himalayas or exploring the ruins of Angkor Wat. I wasn’t surfing in Australia or shooing photography in Ecuador. This year I spent an amazingly peaceful day at my house here in Colorado with my girlfriend.

While this year I am thankful for the photography trips that I have had the opportunity to take this year, I am also thank full for days like today, relaxing at home with those that I love. In anticipation of my coming adventure next year, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to watch one of my favorite movies of all time, “The Goonies”. There is no better movie out there for those of you that love adventure as much as I do. If you haven’t seen it in a while, run to blockbuster and pick it up. Like a nice wine, it only gets better with age.
