Revisiting Chile

Sep 25, 2019

On my last trip to Chile I was fortunate enough to revisit some old spots and also explore a few new ones. The rugged mountains, pristine rivers and prehistoric looking forests are a photographers dream.

Happy Holidays

Dec 14, 2014

It was a busy travel/shooting year for me and with everything else that has been going on, I did not devote as much time to keeping the blog updated as I would have liked.

I had the opportunity to create some new photographic content while abroad and hope to post some of the results in the coming months, including some thoughts on other topics I’m interested in.

Since this will most likely be my last post this year, I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season spent well together with family and friends. I leave you with a small mix of images and a quote by mountaineer Eric Shipton.

He is lucky who, in the full tide of life, has experienced a measure of the active environment he most desires. In these days of upheaval and violent change, when the basic values of today are the vain and shattered dreams of tomorrow, there is much to be said for a philosophy which aims at living a full life while the opportunity offers. There are few treasures of more lasting worth than the experience of a way of life that is in itself wholly satisfying. Such, after all, are the only possessions of which no fate, no cosmic catastrophe can deprive us; nothing can alter the fact if for one moment in eternity we have really lived.

-Eric Shipton

 

Lake Llanquihue

Jun 9, 2014

While visiting Puerto Varas in southern Chile I had the chance to travel around Lake Llanquihue, one of Chile’s largest natural lakes. The almost romantic fishing culture around Lake Llanquihue is a lifestyle quickly becoming extinct. The volcano pictured below is Osorno, one of the most active volcanos in the southern Chilean Andes.
