The start to a long awaited series highlighting photosets I create. From local neighborhoods to the tops of the glacial mountains, the dispatch series will allow you to see life through my eyes. Nothing will follow a pattern as my styles and subjects are constantly changing in an effort to become a dynamic photographer. I hope you all enjoy the series as much as I do getting to create these images!
It’s still mind boggling that I can live in a city as bustling as Seattle but have the ability to reach areas such as the North Cascades within a few hours. Growing up in Southern California, a bragging point was always the access to just about every environment within hours, until I got to Seattle. That’s when I realized that there are a plethora of mountains hiding behind the almost always cloudy skies. Not just mountains, but some of the most beautiful peaks in the entirety of North America. With options everywhere and not having explored much of these breathtaking places, I got an invite to scramble up Sahale Arm in the North Cascades.
A nearly 12 mile round-trip trail, hitting almost 4000ft of elevation gain, this was a bold way to step back into hiking. Being that the past year in Seattle I had nearly converted myself to a pure street photographer this hike brought back a love for landscape photography that had been laying dormant since the beginning of my exploration into photography.
The following images were captured on 120 and 35mm film, lugging my Mamiya RZ67 Pro, Nikon F3HP and Olympus Stylus with a myriad of film stocks.
Enjoy.
