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 second edition of Climbing: Training for Peak Performance, was published by The Mountaineers Books in September 2008. It is substantially updated from the first edition and contains cutting-edge advice on nutrition, aerobic conditioning, and strength training among other topics.

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.
