Quit Your Job and Travel the World: How we did it and you can too!
Talk about arriving in style… We made a splash in Lake Tahoe — literally, in a seaplane — on October 28, 2014, followed by a picnic lunch at Nevada Beach with Seabee pilots Pete and Lien Norman.
The above photo was taken from the rear seat of the Seabee Warbird with my Google Nexus 5. Continue reading “Shot of the Week: Water Landing in the Seabee Warbird (Lake Tahoe, USA)”
After a full evening of field work for our latest Lonely Speck production, the Milky Way floats above the yellow aspens and majestic evergreens of Thomas Creek in autumn in Reno, Nevada on October 22, 2014. The full image plus a video treat await those who continue to the full post.
The above photo was taken with the Sony a7s and Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens. Continue reading “Shot of the Week: Autumn Leaves and Starry Skies (Nevada, USA)”
After hiking 4 miles, we were treated to a gorgeous view of Colchuck Lake, a bright blue alpine lake in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington, on Sunday, October 12, 2014.
The above photo is a stitched panorama of photos taken with my Sony a6000 and Sony E 20mm f/2.8 lens. Continue reading “Shot of the Week: Colchuck Lake (Washington, USA)”
Did you know a group of elk is called a gang? (I didn’t until I looked it up 30 seconds ago.) Continue reading “Portraits of a Gang: The Elk at Lone Elk Park (St. Louis, Missouri)”

Despite our 2 mask-free days after the rain gods asserted their rule over the land, the dust surely took flight with vigor for the second half of this year’s burn. Continue reading “Burning Man 2014: In Dust We Trust (Photos From A Dusty Playa)”
It’s been one week since our return to the Default World, so it’s high time for some Burning Man photo sharing here on the blog. Our fellow burners are mostly what makes Black Rock City feel like home, so it’s only appropriate that our first Burning Man recap highlights the people.
Sunset photo shoots with our burner friends have become tradition after a second successful year of playa portraits. When the light’s just right, Ian grabs his camera and we round up anyone in ear shot. From year to year our camp roster may change but never fails to express its wild and friendly spirit during these spontaneous photo excursions into the dust.
So, from Ian and I to our fellow campmates and friends (and our fondly yet peculiarly named camp), this one’s for you.
To everyone else, meet the 2014 cast of Prosciutto Bay. Continue reading “Burning Man 2014: Portraits of a Camp”

16 days til the man burns. That means less than two weeks to finish prepping for our week-long journey into radical self reliance and expression in the playa of Black Rock City. (If you’re not familiar with this exquisitely unique festival, read more here.)
When prepping for Burning Man, careful planning helps keep Walmart trips, Amazon orders and overall expenses to a minimum. These next two weeks we’ll be sharing our preparation process right here for your reading pleasure. Organization is key, so I’m splitting up the whole charade into easy-to-follow (but very thorough) steps. Continue reading “How to Prepare for Burning Man”
Where in the world can you find over 2,000 natural arches, a balanced rock, a “devil’s garden” and a night sky dark enough for taking stellar astrophotos? On road trip day 6 we found just such a location: Arches National Park. Continue reading “Arches National Park: A Photo Journal (Utah, USA)”
Have you ever seen a yellow-bellied marmot? Now I can say that I have! On day 5 of our road trip, we visited a lesser-known U.S. National Park: Capitol Reef. And it turned out to be one of the most unique places we saw on the trip. Continue reading “Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA”
