As a hiking photographer, there are some great advantages to having a portable, photo editing tool. With the upcoming release of iPadOS, the iPad may, for the first time, become a tool that serious photographers can use as a significant part of their workflow.

For a little over two months, I maintained two separate workflows for my photography, one in the Lightroom CC ecosystem and one in Lightroom Classic, completely cut off from syncing with Lightroom CC.

What’s perhaps most interesting, is in my last update, I’d transitioned to the Gregory Baltoro, in large part due to the heavy weight of my full frame DSLR gear.

When Amy and I bought our house, we knew beforehand that all three fences and our deck would soon need replacing.

One of the early enhancements we made to our Cricket was a cell signal booster. We went on 26 trips in the first year of our Cricket. That’s every other weekend plus a few longer trips (4–16 days), and we continued going out throughout the cold winter months, so having a good cell signal allowed […]

When I taught backpacking to University students, the majority of the content came down to decision-making. How we go about making decisions in the backcountry can be the difference between a safe experience and a harrowing one. Values Decisions in the backcountry balance risk and reward. Underlying that balance are the values we hold. So […]
