“Walking takes longer… than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed.” — Edward Abbey
In several ways, 2014 was a journey for me, and I am grateful much of it was taken on foot. With a couple of exceptions, my favorite images this year were made on hiking or backpacking trips. In June, Jackson Frishman and I had a great trip through the Ansel Adams wilderness and another friend and I spent a wonderful week in August in the John Muir wilderness. Both trips were highlights of my year, not just for the photography and scenery but also for the company.
Now that 2015 is upon us, the journey continues. I’m looking forward to seeing where life takes me this year, and I hope you find yourself on happy trails in your own travels.
