How Much Digital Camera Memory is Enough?
The clock is ticking. In just a couple days the Rebel will come out of it’s Lowepro Slingshot camera bag, and most likely stay within hands reach for the next two months. A journey that begins with a drive from Seattle to San Francisco, includes a stint assisting a friend at her women surf camp [...]
The Ultimate Travel Tripod? First Look @ the Ultrapod II Tripod
In a couple weeks my wife and I embark on our honeymoon. A 7-day retreat in Kauai (where she will be surf instructing and I will be doing some photography work for NW Women’s Surf Camps) will be followed by roughly 6 weeks in SE Asia, including Vietnam, Loas, southern China and Cambodia. Besides all [...]
Gear Report: Lowepro Slingshot 200 Camera Bag
I love outdoor gear. My ‘office’ is crowded with bikes, skis, soft-shell jackets, etc…but really, when I look at it all, I’m pleased that all of it gets used. Very little of it collects dust. So as much as I would enjoy contributing to our ailing economy by buying even more stuff, I’d much rather [...]
Backcountry Skiing Photo Blog
Just wanted to post a quick update about a sister-site I’m in the process of developing. The website, dubbed, creatively, www.backcountryskiphotos.com, is something I’m working on for displaying backcountry ski photos from myself as well as others. There are also links and videos about avalanche education, stories etc. Furthermore, I’ll be offering the option to [...]
Looking For the Perfect Tripod Ballhead?
Me too, so let me know if you find it. In the meantime, I wanted to report that Giottos quickly sent me a replacement for my broken MH -1002 without much hassle at all. Matter of fact, the company emailed me just to let me know the ball head was in the mail. I’ve worked [...]
Help Me…I’m Drooling. I Need The Canon 50D!
A little grotesque sure, but there’s good reason for my inability to retain my own spittle . I’ve owned my digital Canon Rebel XT for something like 2-3 years now (yeah, an eternity in the world of inexpensive digital cameras) and have been contemplating the purchase of a new companion for quite some time now. [...]

You Get What You Pay For
The Olympic Mountains provide a picturesque background for anyone living in Seattle. Often cloaked in clouds, when they appear, especially in winter, they lure you in with a mysterious attraction. Olympic National Park, at almost one million acres, is nearly 95% wilderness and boasts glacier-clad peaks, desolate beaches and the last remaining temperate rain forest [...]
First shot – sea kayaking Puget Sound
I had the chance to use my new Hoya Pro 1 Digital polarizer the other day during a quick sea kayak trip into Puget Sound. You can see the picture here. The weather was actually pretty ideal for a polarizer, as a storm was rolling in from the Pacific while rays of sun shattered the [...]
