Lake Villarrica
Now that school has started I doubt I'll have a chance to make too many new images. I'll probably post quite a few "year ago today" images through Feb, like this one of a homeless man walking on the black volcanic shore of Lake Villarrica in Pucon, Chile. I wonder if he made this same walk in the summer sun today. More after the jump...

Old Town Iquique
When the saltpeter mines outside of Iquique Chile cranked massive amounts of money into the local economy in the early part of the 20th century this barrend desert port city imported massive amounts of lumber from the Oregon coast. Much of the old part of town was constructed with this "Pino de Oregon." More after the jump...

Drifter Smith
The second time I took Ed Abbey down the river I pulled him off to the side at the put-in and told him that I no longer went by Stuart. I told him that I had changed my name to Drifter. Ed Abbey looked at me and asked, "Is it all right if I call you Drift?" I said, "Surely a man of your literary talents can spare a syllable." He looked at me and said, "Words are money my friend, words are money."

First Video
Got bored/frustrated with my lame Canon S7 and stills, so I took some video and slapped this together in imovie. No real need to do a movie again. It got cropped and overexposed on upload too. More after the jump...

Camas Prairie
If I ever win the lottery I'll buy the old homestead land where my great great grandfather and great grandfather grew wheat. Like James McMurtry said however, "Don't like farming, can't take the hours," so maybe I'll put a little strawbale house out there, grade out a runway, and spend a winter building a Rans S6.

Wedding Dress Shopping
Yea, I went wedding dress shopping, but just to take pictures - I swear.
Ok, it was somewhat fun, and having a camera along made it enjoyable. Ademas, I consider Stephanie a friend and she sorted me out with some presentable non-carhart clothes. Thanks Steph. More after the jump...

Playa Cavancha
Here's an image I made a year ago today of surfers in the line up as I circled around to land at Playa Cavancha, Iquique Chile. More after the jump...

Christmas Eve at the Crow
Smooth strong lift at the Crow today. Kept my eyes on the winter cumis that were popping and ripping across the valley at about 5,000, landed just as it got punchy and strong. Life is Grand! More after the jump...

Norton and Amos Burg
As a "liason between the people and the place" commercial raft guide Jim Norton searches to find a " balance between potential benefits of exposing commercial raft clients to wilderness, but increasingly needing to pamper to their experience."
"I was consumed with thoughts about the arc of Amos’ life, the current trajectory of my own and the powerful reciprocity of the relationship between people and their environment. Separated by generations of years and worlds of cultural change, I felt bound to Amos as witness to this timeless importance of wild places — not just for repositories of biodiversity, but as nurseries for the human spirit." -Jim Norton

Regret
The one thing I always regret is missing a day in the field with my father. I chose to Shadow Nic today at IUI while dad and the crew did a Christmas weekend pheasant shoot on a local WMA. The kicker was that today was a beautiful blue, sunny December day, my sister is in town, and she went hunting too. Photos would have been great. More importantly, I get too few days to shoot pheasants with dad and sis. I could have shadowed Nic any day. Don't make that mistake again.
I've never seen dad glow as much as he did Friday evening as he told the story of how his daughter shot two pheasant while one of his employees got skunked! More after the jump...

Figure out a plan
Plan your work, work your plan. Lack of system produces that "I'm swamped" feeling.

Fuy
A clearing night sky and as the buttery Moon casts his between-the-clouds intermitant glow through the basement window this thought keeps me awake:
"The temperature will drop below freezing tonight and snow may blanket this high desert at first light, but Coyote will yelp through the night, and in the morning Cedar Waxwing will pluck soft crab-apples from the front lawns of abandoned homesteads."
I rob myself of the life I deserve by sleeping, not under a wintery night sky, but instead, under a roof of gypsum board, 2x4 trusses, and asphalt shingles.
I'm sort of wishing that I was headed some place like this over the winter instead of back to school. Rio Fuy, Lake District, Chile More after the jump...

Lucky Peak, Idaho
If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. -Avedon
Almost as over quoted as that two roads in the woods line. I should know better, but I opened my camera bag today, held that (un)faithful contraption and thought of the man who made those stark portraits while in the west. Life is Grand, especially with a camera in my hand. More after the jump...
