Tide Pools
Monday, April 5th, 2010Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved tide pools.
Red Rocks Climbing 2010
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010These 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.

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.

A dress to remember – Pic of the Day
Friday, January 29th, 2010
It’s Friday and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than with a photo of a beautiful girl in a garden. I love photographing beautiful people and places. This afternoon left a lasting image in my mind. Stunning. Enjoy the pic.
Jungle Hike – Pic of the Day
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
It was about a year ago we were in Boquete, Panama hiking through the jungle with the hopes of coming up upon some exotic animals. I think the only animal we saw was a little lizard. Later we did get to see lots of cool animals in Costa Rica.
This time of year you can’t help but dream of warm tropical places.
Black Canyon XC Ski – pic of the day
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Lisa and I went for a ski in the Black Canyon National Monument to check out an ice climb called Gandalf’s Beard. Seeing as we were in the Black Canyon with 2,000 ft. rock walls everywhere, I dreamed of a giganitc ice flow cascading down the steep cliffs. Instead we found a short easy pitch of ice at the top of a measly gully. The ice was only about 150′ tall and WI3. The skiing to get the climb was fairly substantial however, 4 miles each way. We did the skiing real fast as we had to be somewhere leaving us with a good workout.

Cascade Canyon – Pic of the Day
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
Rachel Mueller and I climbed up Cascade Canyon above Ouray on a very wintery day in December. It was a great adventure just above town and the ice climbing was superb. We made it back to the car just before dark which was a bonus seeing as both of us neglected to bring headlamps.
This pic was taken with my weather and waterproof Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. A good choice of camera given the weather.
