The Start of Winter

Finally, some snow and cold temps here in New Hampshire. As we all know winter is starting later and later, making stick season last longer and longer….. I hope you’re all enjoying some time off this week, maybe overeating, maybe not, either way thanks for being on this list and sharing some time with me.

Dusting One Off - Into the Archive

Winter on Mount Washington hits a bit differently than down here in the valley, it’s longer, more fierce, and more interesting. I was fortunate to work in Huntington and Tuckerman Ravines for a handful of winters with the USFS. I dragged my camera around a lot of the time, learning how to deal with all the complications that come with photo gear and wild winter conditions. Some of my favorite winter images come from those days, in particular, this set here: Geography of Snow

An Org Worth Checking Out

In keeping with the winter theme, here’s a non-profit that is a valuable resource for anyone heading into the White Mountains this time of year.

Adventure of the week

I could post a photo of my desk, because that’s where I was most of the week, but everyone knows that painful landscape. So instead here’s a little glimpse of a day out photographing Pike fishing. This tends to be the last of the species to chase this time of year at least for me. I’m frequently amazed at the wild details fish have when you take a minute to look closely at them. Infinite dots, patterns and colors so fine they get lost in splashing chaos of catching and releasing. I’m still trying to get a close-up of those gnarly teeth maybe next week.

If you’ve read this far send me a note. I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas for more projects, other orgs out there, and adventures you’re doing or planning.
