Climbing and Mountaineering Photography

Climbing and Mountaineering Photography

By far my favorite style of photography. Emphasis on the photographer and what he sees...not the camera. Some of my favorite shots I've seen in the alpine are on cheaper point-and-shoot cameras. I always tell people that "Ooo and ahh" over my camera; "the best camera is the one you have with you" - Chase Jarvis
