Today I met a good friend for lunch. Jeremy had just returned from a short-notice trip to China to climb in a valley that had mostly been off-limits to climbers.

Rounded up the family and headed over to the nearby skate-park for a local event sponsored by Level2 Skate Company and Pilot International. Pilot International is a very worthwhile organization that focuses on brain-related disorders and prevention of brain injuries. They were generous enough to be handing out free helmets to anyone that needed one. [...]

Mother nature was in a good mood and provided us warm, sunny temps all weekend. The image above was taken around sunset on Saturday. The location was already in shade so I placed an SB800 on [...]
