New Website! Gone are the days of Table Rows and hunting down syntax errors in handwritten code. . WordPress was pretty good...but I was always monkeying around with it. . This time around: a @squarespace template, @photoshelter image database, @vimeo for the films, and @medium for the essays? . I'm sure there's a broken link...but I think it's looking quite alright. . . . #portfolio #webpresence #onlineportfolio #websitedesign #websitelaunch #notbadforahack #nocoding #wysiwyg
Dantelope Gazaylward. That's what we call Dan Aylward. . He's light on his feet, springing ahead, and if there's a whiff of competition he picks up the pace. . It was good to get a crack-of-noon start for a run up Mailbox Peak with @jess_kuzma and Dan. . Definitely a nice break from staring at the computer rebuilding my website. . Bonus: it didn't *really* rain. . . . #trailrun #gettingthewigglesout #mailboxpeak #foggyforest #muddytrails #rainyweekend #shoulderseason #nickname
Back When. It was 2008 when @mikeylikesrocks asked me to photograph his first free ascent of Thin Red Line. . He brought a Yosemite-style mindset and tactics back to his home range: the North Cascades. . In early May he's including this climb in a slideshow at @leavenworth_rockfest . . For me, Rockfest is a "Way-Back-When." . Marshall Balick and I started it when he still worked at @featheredfriends1972 (I did too). . Back then you could still find camping in Icicle Canyon. Bouldering was new, Damian Potts self-published the guide book, Dan and @forrest_m1971 gave a slideshow on the side of a van, before #vanlife was a thing. @ndcvseav still made music and he and @daleremsberg drank all the beer. . Today, Rockfest is more than some easy-up tents by a roadside crag. . It's a full-blown, community-building event with proceeds benefitting youth programs, stewardship and @accessfund land management. . #soproud #carrythetorch . #Repost @leavenworth_rockfest ・・・ Stoked to have Mikey Schaefer join us at #leavenworthrockfest this year for a fun chat & slideshow! . There will be a special raffle package and some of Mikey's prints for sale at the @accessfund booth to help raise money for the Liberty Bell Conservation Initiative. It'll take place at the festival grounds (Tierra) around 8:30pm on Saturday the 5th and is free for everyone! 📷 @timmatsui . . . #climbinghistory #backwhen #community #stewardship

The Surgeon. He’s been working at RS Karitas on rural Sumba Island for a decade, seven years longer than he was supposed to. . Dr. Oka is the hospital director, its only surgeon, and he wants to go home. . During the week he lives a spartan existence while balancing the outpatient clinic, hospital administration, and seemingly endless surgeries. On the weekends, he flies home to wife and four children in Bali. . If he left, he doesn’t know who would replace him at Karitas—someone who can do double duty as a surgeon and director. He doesn’t want to leave the community without a surgeon. . Last January I traveled to Indonesia to produce this story. .

Fighting Malnutrition. Indonesian school children finish a free meal provided by the @sumbafoundation, a non-profit operating on the rural island of Sumba to provide clean water, reduce malaria and address malnutrition. . Malnutrition, a symptom of poverty, is often seen in local health clinics and hospitals on Sumba. . Last January I traveled to Indonesia and produced a story on a young Indonesian doctor learning the difficulties of providing health care for all. .

Yesterday. Found ourselves some quiet, some rain crust, some buttery snow, an old friend and @nwacus field observer, some beautiful Northwest views, and a front row seat to the approaching weather. . Today, it is raining. . . . #backcountryskiing #tahoma #rainier #watchingtheweather #mountainski #mountainsarecalling #optoutside #freshair
Little People, Big Mountain. Surprisingly decent snow on Tahoma (Mt. Rainier) today. . Best parts? The views, the company, the conversation. . . . #springtime #backcountryskiing #tahoma #rainier #sciencetalk #openspaces #mountaintime
Homeward Bound. Coming back from a vacation is significantly different than the journey @finbarroreilly and Thomas J Brennan faced. . The two co-authored the book "Shooting Ghosts." Finbarr, a photojournalist, and Thomas, a Marine, met at OP Kunjak in 2010, in the Musa Qala district of Afghanistan. . Their sometimes humourous and quite sincere book chronicles a return from war, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and a growing friendship. . We had the opportunity to meet Finbarr last October when he and @louiepalu gave a talk on their new books at the New America Foundation. I recommend both books. . I haven't been to war, but I understand how shining a light onto dark things can affect the torch-bearer. This book captures it well. . Buy it. . . . #readabook #cominghome #shootingghosts #thelongwar #tbi #ptsdrecovery #bookrecommendations #friendshipstories #travelreading #windowseat #iflyalaska
Mexico. And an open-water swim in the Caribbean Sea. . . . #morningswim #wakeupandworkout #openwaterswim #morninglight #throughthewindow #seascape #travelgram #quintanaroo
Mexico. Late morning on the Caribbean Sea. . There are so many stories about water--how important it is, how threatened it is, how we misuse it, what we can do to care for it. . World Water Day. . . . #openocean #openoceanswim #caribbeansea #morninglight #theexpanse #worldwaterday #quintanaroo
Mexico. I think we travel well together. . . . #travel #travelpartner #realvacation #noworktoday #notonassignment #shesakeeper #architecturephotography #quintanaroo
