I did a thing and finally upgraded all my photo gear! As such I am cleaning house and selling all my old stuff.

If there is a point to being in the canyon, it is not to rush but to linger, suspended in a blue-and-amber haze of in-between-ness, for as long as one possibly can. To float, to drift, savoring the pulse of the river on its odyssey through the canyon, and above all, to postpone the unwelcome and distinctly unpleasant moment when one is forced to reemerge and reenter the world beyond the rim-that is the paramount goal. ~ Kevin Fedarko

The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters. -

This is an image I took as we were descending Mt Fuji. It was one of the most magical moments of my life; watching the sunset on top of the clouds, in a foreign land standing on top of one of the most known mountains in the world with an amazing crew of people!
