Had a great session at Willow Creek on Saturday.  A friend of a friend is looking at getting into winging so he was out in his kayak and was able to get this shot.  Funny to see snow capped mountains in the background after just sharing shots from the keys in board shorts. 

I’ve been learning how to foil since the summer of 2023.  I was coming off a knee injury during ski season where I met a fellow Bridger employee Jeff while working in the ticket office.  I’d known about foiling in boats for a long time but most of those options don’t work when you’re my…

Elias and I just got back from an epic ~3500 mile 14 state road trip!  We drove a U-Haul from Montana down to the Florida Keys to move some of my parents stuff down for them.  We dragged a uhaul trailer from Casper WY to Asheville NC for some extra income as well as picked…

For the first time ever I was able to have “perfect attendance” for a ski season at one area skiing there every single day they were open!  I’ve been trying this since I started instructing but something always broke the streak (broken leg, covid, etc) or caused an * on the numbers (being closed for…

went skiing, took some pics…  interesting month in that I got G.A.S. and added a few cameras.  Because I’ve been posting to IQ and used the #65×24 hashtag, I learned the lumix line has that ratio as well.  Combine that with the fact that the S9 quite small for a FF camera and their kitted…

Found this shot while looking for something else in LR.  Reprocessed into a 65:24 panorama.  This was taken 11/30/2007 with my 5D and 24-70mm lens. 

I’m still going with the ski every day/photo a day for the 2024/2025 ski season.  Here are some of my favorite images from January: not my skis but a cool shot with the flash’d flakes: warranty replacement helmet means I needed to take a selfie!: Here’s the full gallery:

These are two fun and pretty similar skis. People have asked for a review/comparison so I figured I’d write my thoughts out in their own post. I’ve been a fan of blades since their launch. I replaced my sakanas with blades, for me they’re better in every way (I also am a huge fan of…

in making the X selfies post I realized I’ve never really shared my ski selfies as a post here.  This has been a fun idea that goes back to 2007 with my 5D and 15mm fisheye: Let me just say mirrorless cameras have made this a LOT easier…  I remember how cold my hand was…

apparently I have a habit of taking rearview mirror selfies with my fuji daily carry cameras…  This dates back to the original X100 in 2011: so I figured I’d get the entire collection in one post… Next up is the X70 from 2016: then my 50r last summer (not the easiest/smallest camera to hand hold…

Let’s talk ratios…  I’ve always prefered elongated ratios.  I have a 645 medium format camera back in the 90s and I never really bonded with it.  I think that issue was two fold, both lack of lenses but also the more square 4:3 ratio.  I’ve been into panos for a long time.  One of my…

I was looking for some info about the cars we’ve owned so I figured I’d write it out as a post as well. This is in reverse chronological order, so most current cars are up top. 2021 Subaru Forester Sport: With the outback becoming the “kids car” it was time for me to get another…
