These are some shots I got while out on a photoshoot for Outdoor Research at Red Rocks, NV, outside of Las Vegas. Lisa and I were both modeling for the shoot, but I decided to bring my camera along. We had a group of five, plus photographer Bryan Smith, so there was some opportunity for me to get some shots. It was two long days of shooting followed by two long days of teaching clinics. Just thinking of all that makes me feel tired and want to order a latte while I type this up. The best part of it all was spending time with a great group of people. The team Outdoor Research has put together is a great one, and I really enjoy the time spent with the crew. I look forward to seeing the shots Bryan got of us.

Christian Folk Bleeds for the Glory
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
With bleeding cuticles, Christian Folk (from Outdoor Research) is pictured here in the crux of the 5.10 start to Ragged Edges at Red Rocks, Nevada. The Red Rocks Rendezvous climbing festival begins this week and climbers are flocking to Vegas from all around.
The Visual Adventures contingent will be represented by Jason and Lisa, on behalf of Outdoor Research. Lisa Nelson will be teaching a backcountry cooking course, and Jason Nelson will be teaching a multi-pitch efficiency clinic. Jason and Lisa will also be talent for some photo shoots prior to the event with photographer Bryan Smith.
The weather is getting warmer, and it’s promising to be a great event. We hope to see you there!
Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley

On our way from Bishop to Las Vegas we checked out Death Valley. We arrived at the sand dunes around sunset. We had a great time playing in the sand and Jason was able to get some beautiful pictures.
Kahtoola Flash Project
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Visual Adventures was recently contracted by Dayzign Graphics to create three interactive flash slideshows for Kahtoola, an outdoor company that makes snowshoes, and crampons. Working on flash projects often provides me with opportunities to challenge and develop my Flash skills. First I needed to design a slide-show that would slide sideways and included a product image which would extend beyond the square frame. Logistically, this can’t really be done in that way without getting really complicated. I suggested another solution that performed the needed function with efficiency and grace, having the product fade in over the sliding images. This project required a fair amount of actionscipt code and time but the end result was a success.
