Photography and the outdoors go hand in hand, so it’s no mystery why lots of photographers are also hikers. It can be a challenge to enjoyably bring photography gear on long hikes, trust me, I’ve made quite a few mistakes. That being said, over the past couple years I’ve improved my setup and made it a much better experience. Here is some of my most commonly used gear for shooting landscapes and what I lug out into the wilderness.

Winter camping had been on my list of things to do for a while, but I hadn’t mustered up the will to bear the cold night. Between the extra gear that is involved, unknown rules, and the cold, it had remained a dream. During my last visit to Mt. Rainier to snowshoe around Paradise, I talked with a Park Ranger who laid out the rules for winter camping and talked me into camping for the night. So, here a few tips from my first winter camping trip.
The little town of Leavenworth, WA is high up on my list of favorite mountain towns. It’s not your typical mountain town, but one with a bit of a twist. Originally a logging town that failed, it was looking for a way to revive its economy and eventually settled on an idea. To become a German themed town…and they pulled it off!
