HONG KONG

March 04, 2013

Believe it or not, one of my goals for this year was to travel less so I could be in NYC more (no no, its not that I don't want to travel at all... I'm just trying to limit myself so I can be engaged in the wonderful and creative city I live in). Its only 2 months into the new year and I have already been to Hong Kong and the Philippines! However this was definietly in my "worth it" category! Here are a few photos from a walk around HK.

MORE CAMPING!!!!

January 06, 2013

Now that winter is here, I'm finally catching up on a ton of computer work, blogging, updating...blah blah blah. This past fall has been nonstop, both work and travel wise. After returning from Alaska, I decided last minute to take a 2 week camping trip with my best bud Ryan (who lives in Chicago and who I dont get to see nearly enough). We flew out to Denver, rented a Fait 500 (if you know of it, you are probably laughing at the thought of two grow men driving it) then drove around the wild west for a few weeks. We headed up to Glacier National Park and then made our way south through Yellow Stone and Grand Tentons. Amazing. Here are a few photos.

Glacier National Park. Amazing.

Driving through Glacier. Very hazy due to forest fires.

A days hike and 3,000 ft climb into back country.

Back country in bear country.

Yellow Stone.

Summer of forest fires. Paradise Valley, Montana.

Grand Tetons! I Love MOUNTAINS!

Messing around at 10,000 ft.

More messing around back country Grand Tetons.

Early morning starts + campfire coffee = best start to a summers day. (Grand Tetons)

ALASKA!

I spent 20 days up in Alaska this past July/August. The first part of the trip was for a project. I was shooting a doc on traditional fishing for the wonderful site Global Oneness Project We spent 10 days on the Yukon river, shooting in the town of Emmonak. Emmonak is a small village near the mouth of the Bering Sea and is only accessible by air (and river 3 months out of the year). Even after working in some pretty remote parts of the world, Emmonak felt as remote as you could great, it had a real outpost feel. The shoot was extremely fascinating (picture buzzing around the Yukon river on speed boats!), and the finish project should be really really beautiful.

I fly a lot. In fact I had enough frequent flier miles to fly my parents up to Alaska, something they always wanted to do. So after the shoot I travel around the rest of Alaska with my folks (Seward, to Valdez to Denali). I put down my camera for most of this time and just took in all the beauty Alaska has to offer. Alaska is pretty amazing!
