here's a few shot's from the other day in Vancouver...

The Squamish Mountain Festival is coming up next month, and one of the highlights of the festival is a slideshow contest put on by the biggest names in the climbing world. Arcteryx, one of the sponsors of the festival, is holding a slideshow competition for a chance to become this years wildcard entry and put together a slideshow to showcase with the big boys, and compete for the $1500 pot, as well as a massive amount of exposure form presenting your photo's in such a highly publicized event.

Today, I drive to Vancouver to go submit my entry to the front desk at the Arcteryx warehouse. Here's my 2 minute entry. Fingers crossed that I get a call in a few days, informing me that I need to go ahead and put together a 5 minute presentation...

Someone got a van...


And got a good shot of Moot...


And another shot of Tims Sloper Problem...


And finally got around to piecing together an old pan from Red River Gorge...

I haven't posted anything in a long time, I know. My bad. Life's just been pretty busy lately, that's the excuse I'm giving at least! I am a working man these days, so my free time to play around on the internet competes with my free time to go climbing, longboarding, slacklining, mountain biking, and all the other joys of mountain life. I do sincerely apologize for the hiatus, and I promise to do my best to never let it happen again.

With that said, I guess it's time to play 'catch-up'. My wonderful parents came up to visit briefly last week, so briefly in fact, that I'm pretty certain they were only out here to drop my dog off to me and then leave! I'm just kidding. They bought me dinner before they left. Anywho, Moot's here and he's loving it! I don't really have to many great shots of him yet, but they're coming.

So here's the keepers from the past few weeks...
