My work with the Mount Washington Valley Ice Climbing Festival was used in Brian Irwin's article for Boston Globe's Sunday Travel section. I had a great time up north and glad to see my work in print with the Boston Globe.

Read the article HERE.
And thanks to writer Brian Irwin for his informative and exciting account of a little covered sport that New England offers.





Weekends.Holliston.FEB2012

I still run into friends who wonder why I live in the suburbs. I wonder why they live in the city.





WesternMA.JAN.2012

Drove out to WesternMA/UpstateNY for the weekend. Saw some fog, stopped often to shoot the forests and freshwater lakes that look so differently in the summer. Spooky day, Radiohead for the trip. Appropriate.


WinterSwim.NewYear.NewWork.

Why should I stop swimming for winter? Been doing a bunch of polar swims for 2012. Here's an outing where I was joined by BFF's @Karalligator and Caitlin. We drove down to Scusset Beach at the edge of CapeCod and ran into the frigidly artic waters of NewEngland. After we got out and were sufficiently cold, we ran in again. And remember, it don't count if you don't go under! I'll be swimming all winter long, anybody interested in a polar outting hit me up!

Recommendations to bring:
Puffy Jacket
Smartwool socks
Thermos of HotChocolate/GreenTea/Whiskey, or all three
a friend
a bucket of energy
sunglasses
matches and kindling
emergency contacts
a trained lifeguard (DOM)
and extra undies








LastCallForDucks!

And a great start to 2012 here! I went out hunting with some friends this past weekend for the final morning of DuckSeason in Massachusetts. This particular adventure had us waking up at 5 am, trudging through a swamp by headlamp, crossing frozen muddy streams, watching the sun come up on a frigid and frozen morning and spending two hours sitting in swampy bushes; you can imagine I had the best morning ever! We even got to warm up with Spikes special venison stew. Thanks KatieO and friends. Hope there's lots more duck hunting next season!






RoadTrip.Americans.2011

There is no shortage of incredible American People in incredible American Places. Here are a few such souls encountered on the road in the last week. Montana/Wyoming/SouthDakota/Colorado/Kansas/Missouri/Illinois...









RoadTrip.Kansas/BlizzieBlizzardTime.Day04

Kansas! wooooooo-eeeee. Our first day in Kansas had us wakin up in our tent to a blustery, whippin Kansas prairie storm, tumbleweeds literally blowing across the road. The storm held out until after our second gas up, then it came down, wet and heavy and things got slippery. We stopped for burgers and chicken-fried steak @HappyDayDiner in Lincoln Kansas, met some quail hunters, and chained up the rear tires. We spent the rest of the day doing the steady 30mph chain shuffle into Salina, Kansas. Saw lots of folks swervin off the road, crossing the median, and ambulances haulin to the scene.

Clementine(truck) shrugged off the storm like the well seasoned, Montana truck she is. We holed up there in a $35Motel, with Pizza, the internet, and Discovery Channels brilliant show, GunSmoke. What a welcome to Kansas.





RoadTrip.Wyoming/Colorado.Day03

Spent the day on long flat roads, no radio in this thing, driving flat out at a steady 70mph across endless country. Wind screaming through the 40 year old windows, makin PB&J, campin at rest stops. Met some great people, lots of meandering, antique shopping, gassing up, peeing in the dirt, ridin the pickup bed.
BestTripEver?





Roadtrip.Wyoming/SouthDakota.Day02

Camping in the plains of NorthWyoming, woke up to a 14degree morning. Luckily I was burrito-ed in a wool liner inside a 45 degree down bag, inside of a 20 degree synthetic. (thx@PatrickSpain)
We drove through some plains and fields and snowdrifts and tiny towns, saw the Devils Tower, and fell asleep in the Badlands of SouthDakota. NextStopColorado. Gooooo #Camping/Sunsets/Roadfood/TheWideOpenRoad!!!




Montana--->Home.Roadtrip

I'm on the road!
My buddy and fellow photographer/traveler/adventurer/frequentSwimmer, Jarrod McCabe, and I are driving home. We rendezvous-ed in Bozeman, MT, where Jarrod purchased a 1971 Ford F-250 CamperCustom. We are currently on the road and I will be adding photos to describe the road trip. We've also made a pact to be home by xmas and also swim everyday of the trip.

Anybody out there got contacts to stay with? were gonna be Colorado/Kansas/Nebraska soon...Perhaps Kentucky...?
