The Art of Giving
It feels good to give back. I’m currently in the process of framing this beautiful Mt Rainier photo for this weekend’s Lunafest film festival here in Seattle. I’m always happy to consider donating a framed photo, so feel free to contact me if you’re a business or individual raising money for a cause. For a [...]
Nisqually Chutes Ski Report – Mount Rainier Photos
Another day at the office, this time a ‘relaxing’ skin up the Muir Snowfield on Mt Rainier followed by spring corn (yes, in February) down the Nisqually Chutes. Overall we dropped over 4,000 ft, slipping by the toe of the Nisqually Glacier, onto the Nisqually River. I’ve decided to put together a quick slide show, [...]

In Search of the Perfect Mt Rainier Photograph…
…which unfortunately I did not find but admittedly it’s hard to go wrong when exploring the flanks of this mighty mountain. For three days I wandered around Spray Park, a relatively easy hike into the alpine that offers close-up views of the north side of Mt Rainier. Hoping to find that idyllic scene where wildflowers [...]
