I'm going to start a "photo therapy" series to temporarily take you, or me, away from whatever it is I'm doing. This first post is a shot I took from Cathedral Rock in Sedona, AZ back in December of 2012.

I was just going through some old photos that I had taken during a camping trip two summers ago with my buddy Jozias and stumbled upon this shot which I took while driving around Big Bear. We were camping up in the San Gorgonio Wilderness for a few days and then spent a a night or two in Big Bear.
Here's a random photo I took earlier this year when I went up to Palomar Mountain with a friend of mine.

"If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space." This is a quote that I live by. I believe we should all try new things whenever possible. Exploring the unknown and experiencing life outside your comfort zone is the only way to really know what it's like to live.
Fifty years ago, Jim Whittaker became the first American to summit Mt. Everest. Directed by Eric Becker. www.weareshouting.com. This film was made possible by support from Seattle University. Archival footage courtesy Eddie Bauer and The Whittaker Family.
I first heard of Opus Orange when I stumbled upon a documentary about the John Muir Trail titled "Mile . . . Mile and a Half" which is really worth checking out, especially if you're into hiking and nature. The documentary is beautifully shot using Nikon D800s (I think) and GoPros. The primarily instrumental soundtrack compliments the scenery perfectly, partially because Paul Bessenbacher was along fort the journey and experienced it firsthand, which I'm sure really helped contribute to the composing process. You can check out 2 of the tracks on their site, listen to the full album on Spotify, or purchase it on iTunes or Amazon.
Here's a random video thrown together by my friend Jozias compiled of video footage shot with our Nikon D7000s during a camping trip last year.
