Mount Washington panoramic and Chris Davenport print at Matty B’s

Brian — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:21:14 +0000

I just installed a display at Matty B’s Mountainside Cafe. The photo is a panoramic of the east side of Mount Washington and the display consists of three 16×24″ metal prints. I chose metal prints because of their durability and ability to hang them with some space between the wall. Here are some photos:

Matt also hung a photo of Chris Davenport skiing The Chute in Tuckerman Ravine:

Jackson Winter Panoramic

Brian — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:04:25 +0000

I worked with Badger Realty in January and February of 2011 to create a winter panoramic view of Jackson Village and the surrounding mountains. They were looking for a large print installation for their renovated office space and we came up with the idea of separate large prints installed to simulate a panoramic view. I photographed at dawn after a recent snowstorm and was really pleased with the soft colors and fresh snow. The separate photos were stitched together with Photoshop and I produced seven 20×30″ mounted prints. Check out the photos and installation video below (you can click on the photos for a larger view).

Diagonal Gully

Brian — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:01:30 +0000

Early April was the prime spring skiing period on Mount Washington in 2011. The snowpack was solid and the weather was stable before a significant meltdown. I only had one spring skiing day on Mount Washington this year, but made it count with a descent of Diagonal Gully in Huntington Ravine (a route I’ve never been on). Eric Pederson joined me and we timed it perfectly; the snow was heavier powder that was just about to turn into cement.

New Hampshire Ice – In and then Out

Fang (L) and the Bragg Pheasant (R) at Frankenstein Cliffs in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire on December 11, 2010. These routes are now gone after the most recent round of rain and above freezing temperatures, but will hopefully reform. Climbers Sarah Garlick (near top of route) and Matt McCormick (belaying at top) are on the Bragg Pheasant.

Zion and Red Rocks | November 2010

Brian — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 02:18:19 +0000

November is often a good time to travel out of New Hampshire because it’s getting too cold to rock climb, it’s not cold enough for consistent ice climbing, and the snowpack is too low for skiing. Here are a few photos from a personal climbing trip I took to Zion National Park and Red Rock National Conservation Area.
