I continued my tradition of amateur photography in 2019 and I think I've managed to get some pretty good shots. That said, some of the best shots of the year come to us from @paulinadao. Hopefully, the trend of neat picture making and not dying continues in 2020. This year's photos are from
2019: What The Hell Did I Do?
Hello, friends! I've been hard at work on the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail thru-hiker surveys, and so my 2019 recap post (this post) has taken a backseat. But it's still January, so I have met my self-imposed deadline for a look back at 2019 (while it's still fresh(ish) in my
2018: What The Hell Did I Do?
Congratulations! It's the third week of 2019 (goes fast, huh?) and we're all still here. I wonder if we'll be able to say the same thing after our next solar revolution. But does that mean that the sun is doing the revolution or that we're doing the revolution? I hope the latter; maybe it's just
The Most Bestest Photos of 2018
I always worry about not having enough photos to fill a post with my favorites from the previous year, but it turns out that a year is a pretty long time (despite the feeling that our revolutions around the sun are speeding up). If you're interested, here are the looks back at the previous years:
The Most Favorite Photos of 2017
Last year we had some pretty epic photos make The Most Favorite Photos of 2016, but I think I've managed to outdo myself this year. About a quarter of the way through 2017 I took the plunge and bought myself a new camera (so much lighter and more awesome). Towards the end of this year, I also
2017: What The Hell Did I Do?
Well done, friends. We've managed to make it to the end of 2017. Only three more years until the nightmare ends. A lot of things happened in the past 365 days: a man was found in a 7-meter long reticulated python in Indonesia, some awesome women played a soccer match on top of Mount Kilimanjaro,
2016: What The Hell Did I Do?
Well done, gang. We've managed to make it to the end of 2016. Let's all try a little bit harder on this next revolution. So what have I been up to the past 365 366 days whilst hurtling through space at 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec)? Quite a bit, it turns out. I celebrated the start of this
The Most Favorite Photos of 2016
The fact that it's been an entire year since we saw The Most Awesome Photos of 2015 blows my mind. This year I managed to beat the hell out of my camera as I made my way from Nepal to Japan, around Hong Kong and Singapore, down to Australia and Brazil, and even snuck in some time in California's
The Most Awesome Photos of 2015
Since I have yet to establish a permanent residence on this planet of ours (and I'm open to suggestions as to where this should be), I have nowhere to print and display all the billions of bytes of photographic data I have been amassing in my wandering. Consequently, the internet (and more
