Travel photos

I’m on the road this week, and snapped a few photos. Look for a video next week.

Seeing Cassiopia from 35000 feet is pretty cool. Unfortunately, its also hard to photograph. So here is a picture of sunrise somewhere above western NC.

Kiawah Island

I went down to Kiawah Island, South Carolina this weekend with my family. I brought along my DSLR and GoPro too. I took the GoPro out on the beach one evening to shoot some video and some stills. These pictures are some of the results.

GoPros in portrait orientation produce cool shots.

Mud Season and such

So its mud season in Crested Butte. What does that mean? Well, it means mountain biking in Gunnison at Hartman Rocks, 60 degree weather on one day, 4 inches of snow the next, and who knows what the day after.  I’ve been working studying for finals here at Western where I’ve been taking some business classes. I’m not sure I mentioned that on here, but its been taking some of my time.

I’ve got a few articles in the pipeline too, but I haven’t had time to really polish them like I want to. Maybe a short documentary in the works too. We’ll see.

Anyway, I know you are here for the pictures, so here are a few.

I’ve take a few trips to Hartman’s.  Sam crushing Joshos (which is a really fun trail).

Thats it for now. Hopefully I’ll have a longer post up by the end of the week. Probably the first of a series I’m planning on writing.

A few older shots I dug up.

I was looking through my archives and found this shot from last winter.

Slush Huck Costumes, Closing weekend at Crested Butte.

Went to the Crested Butte slush huck yesterday and watched some people get very, very wet and cold. Mostly I took pictures of people’s awesome costumes.
