Our latest Wild People, Wild Places exhibit is now up at the Three Mountain Cafe in Waitsfield, Vermont, throughout the months of November and December. The cafe is located in the Mad River Green, right next to Bisbee’s Hardware and just across from the Waitsfield Post Office.
Also, stay tuned for another upcoming exhibit, Wild People, Wild Places – WINTER, at the Artisan’s Gallery in downtown Waitsfield, VT, which we will open on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009.
When you are in or near Waitsfield, swing by the cafe, grab something hot to drink, and enjoy the show. Thanks to the cafe owners Julie and Paul!

On Saturday, Nov 7 at The Mountain Goat in Hanover, NH, we will be kicking off our 5th Annual Wild People, Wild Places Slideshow Series with the latest incarnation of our ever-evolving show, Off Piste in the Northeast. Our shows feature our primarily human-powered (and often skiing focused) adventures through the Northeast US/Canada, Patagonia, Iceland, Greenland and beyond, and they conclude with a raffle of outdoor gear and prizes that helps to raise funds for our ongoing conservation work with organizations like the Green Mountain Club, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, Conservacion Patagonica and others…
Although our mountains close to home received a light coating of snow a couple of weeks back, it wasn’t until this past Tuesday’s snowfall that we were tempted to break out the skis and kick off the 09-10 ski season. Up to 6″ of snow fell above 1500′ in northern Vermont, and with the snow still falling on Tuesday and fall colors still strong up to about 2500′, the skiing was beautiful. For a few hours each day since Tuesday, we’ve been climbing the older, moss and grass-carpeted ski trails of our local ski areas, and then skiing down lower-angle trails that are relatively free of any rocks and roots.
Enjoy these!

Beautiful, beautiful September gave way to Octoburrrrr last night with the first snowflakes in months floating in from the heavens above. Up to 3″ inches of snow fell in the Green Mountains last night and throughout the day today, with most of that falling in the Mount Mansfield region. While the snow is always a treat, we are still looking forward to some warmer weather before Old Man Winter gets his way with us.

We are in the midst of an incredible 10+ day streak of clear, sunny skies and cool, starry nights here in Vermont. These are perfect conditions for witness beautiful moonsets. Here’s an image we captured last year at this time… while there was still fog in the valley, and the rays from the rising sun had just begun to make it over the mountain side behind us – a rare combo. We call this one, “Camel’s Hump Moon”, and it’s available framed and behind glass in various sizes, or as a larger format canvas print. If you are interested, you can view our print options and pricing info here.
Enjoy the moon!
Hurricane Bill pushed a large and powerful swell into the shores of the northeastern US and Canada last weekend. Here’s an image we captured on Sunday morning off the coast of Massachusetts, just after sunrise. The crest and face of this wave stood a solid 12-14′ tall before breaking in its final approach to the shore. The wild winds and seas kept us watching in awe, rather than surfing, early that morning. But closer to lunch time, when the winds slowed and the seas calmed a little bit, it was a different story.
This image will also be available as a fine art print, with the title: “Hurricane Bill”. Drop us a line if you are interested.
The first named storms of the Atlantic’s tropical storm/hurricane season were born this week, and although the storms named Ana and Claudette have already pittered out, a storm named Bill has developed into a powerful Cat 3/4 hurricane.. Take a look at this satellite loop from the National Hurricane Center. Let’s hope storms like Bill, and those that follow, stay out to sea and do nothing but generate fun swells for Carribean and east coast surfers…

We pulled seventy heads from the garden this week… and couldn’t resist photographing this bunch of them drying on our table. Yum, yum.
For a few years now, we’ve been working with Lightworks in Burlington, VT to produce large-format (36 to 72″ wide!) canvas prints of our photographs. After we receive the canvas prints from the lab, we stretch the canvas around simple wooden frames, and we coat the canvas prints with a sealer that helps to ensure a durable, long-lasting image.
You can find some of these prints at Artisan’s Hand gallery in Montpelier, VT; in the lobby to Timber’s Restaurant at Sugarbush Resort, in many private collections…and coming this August 3 – September 6, 2009, at the 20th Annual Photography Exhibit at the Round Barn in Waitsfield, Vermont – part of the Mad River Valley’s 2009 Vermont Festival of the Arts.
Stop by the Round Barn in Waitsfield, VT sometime before Sept 6 to take a peek at our canvas prints, as well as the work of dozens of other photographers from our region. For more info about our fine-art prints and print pricing, go to this link on our website.
Here’s a quick snap of the prints we are showing at the Round Barn, waiting to be hung in the old milking parlour at the Round Barn.
