HEAR in New Hampshire is a school for deaf and hard of hearing children. They are holding an online auction, that opens today, to benefit the school and I donated two 8″x12″ prints. Here are some links to the school, auction website, and the two donated prints:

Flakes, Jugs, and Splitters is A Rock Climber’s Guide to Geology by Sarah Garlick. This is a great book if you are a rock climber, geologist, or just interested in the processes that have shaped the Earth. As a geology major in my college days, it was great to refresh my knowledge of the different climbing areas I’ve visited. I’ll post a few of the photos that I have in the book below (along with Sarah’s text). You should go find this book at a local store or order from the Amazon link above.

Shiprock, in northwest New Mexico, is the eroded neck of a volcano.

The North Fork of the Virgin River has rapidly cut down through the soft sedimentary rocks of the Colorado Plateau, forming the big walls of Zion National Park.

Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is a stratovolcano.

In mid December I joined writer Keith Mulvihill and climbing guide Paul Cail for a day trip up Mount Washington. This was for an article in the Travel>Escapes section of The New York Times. Although it was cold and windy, we lucked out with the weather and reached the summit under mostly clear skies. As a follow up the next day, we hiked the Lost Pond Trail at Pinkham Notch for a more low key look into winter hiking in New Hampshire. Here is a link to the article, audio slideshow, and some photos.

I’ve had a stack of prints sitting on a shelf for about a year, mostly landscapes from various trips. I finally got around to getting them framed for display. These framed prints and some canvas prints are hanging in my house, all measurements in inches.

I recently had a friend who was interested in ordering a photo of Mount Washington, so I dug through my archives and came across two photos I shot in 2004. They were of the east side of Mount Washington and featured several notable landmarks: Tuckerman Ravine, Huntington Ravine, Raymond Cataract, and the summit. I stitched the two photos together to make a great panoramic, you can click on it to see a larger version.

This is available in a size ratio of 1:3, either printed on canvas or traditionally as a framed print. The recently ordered print was a 12″x36″ canvas and looks great.
