Photography and writing are my profession. And my passions—along with climbing, skiing, biking, trail running, scuba diving, traveling, food, wine...and my wife, Cindy.

My ever-growing Photography Gallery contains around 1,000 images (this web site started as a blog before there was such a thing, so the early scans and pages need updating). I use many camera systems including 4/3 digital (Olympus E-1 system), 35mm film (Olympus and Nikonos III), 35mm panorama (Horizon), 6x6cm medium format (Mamiya 6 system), 4x5" large format and 7x17" banquet format.

The latest addition is a gallery of images of our kitten (she has started her own blog) and photos taken by friends of our wedding.

My most recent book, the Land Navigation Handbook, was published by Sierra Club Books in June 2005. This was a major revision of an earlier classic that now includes computer mapping and GPS technology. In 2008, the second edition of my training book will be published.

Over the past two decades of professional product testing, I have written numerous gear reviews. Rock climbers may find my cam charts useful for selecting active camming devices. If you're a trail runner, check out the topo maps, elevation profiles and my race reports for six of Colorado's races.
