October Snow
Don’t jump in your car and start driving north just yet; this is from October 26, 2005. Two skiers skinning up Wildcat Ski Area in Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire after a large (I think it was almost 3 feet?) late Fall snowfall. The snow on the descent was a bit heavy, but pretty amazing for…

Does camping get much better than this? This is the spot where I spent a week in August 2006 in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. This is the Deep Lake area and that’s Haystack Mountain. On the right side of the face is a 4th class descent route called the Grassy Goat Path. The…

Many areas of New England recorded their first snowfall in the past few days; so I thought a winter teaser photo from March 10, 2009 would be appropriate. Meathead Films skiers Ben Leoni and Stacey Rachdorf heading up into Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington, New Hampshire. I have to comment that I was really impressed…

This is a pretty average landscape photo, but you’ll have to excuse me because I was trying to catch a flight out of KJAC. Looking through photos from September 2008, I came across this series and finally stitched together the panoramic. Photo taken from the Jackson Hole airport access road looking towards the Tetons. Photo…

Read more...Cochise Stronghold
I was looking through my archive of photos from 2006 and came across this series of photos taken at the popular climbing area of Cochise Stronghold in Arizona. I had taken them with the intention of creating a panoramic, but never got around to it. Until today: This is the western side of Cochise Stronghold…

I thought about not naming this location because backcountry skiers usually like to keep their “stashes” secret. But to be honest, the skiing in this drainage isn’t that great; you would need a huge snow year to really cover the rocks and ice. Nevertheless, it’s still a fun place to explore. Taken in March of…

Summit of Mount Washington on a moonlit night, showing the summit sign and Mount Washington Observatory tower. February 2004. Photo Details: Nikon film SLR and Fuji slide film using a tripod and exposure of around 20 (?) minutes.
Read more...2003 Aurora Borealis
The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) was very active in the Fall of 2003. I remember sleeping out on my deck one night and taking photos; the light was so bright you could see shadows on the ground. This photo was taken from a house in the Tyrol area of Jackson, New Hampshire. You’re looking out…
