My Outdoor Traditions
I had a whole blog post in the works, but my niece is in town, I have client deadlines to meet, a Mammoth trip I need to finish packing for, and not enough time to properly edit everything I want to say. Even though I don’t have any witty prose to accompany these photos, I hope you enjoy this handful of snaps from some climbing trips over the past few months with Outdoor Traditions and friends. Check out the photos and then check out their 40% sale before your favorite designs are gone.
PS. I’m also going to include the link to Angel’s Climbing Tattoo Special. You know… just in case you are thinking about getting a nature tattoo that also gives back to the community and outdoor spaces that shape us as climbers.
Enjoy the photos!
2019 San Diego Women's March
On January 19th, 2019 I joined the tens of thousands of people marching in Downtown San Diego in support of civil rights, disability rights, reducing climate change, immigrant rights, LGBTQIA rights, reproductive rights, and workers rights. Instead of a sign I carried my 35mm camera with me and asked to photograph those raising their voices in solidarity with me. Here is a handful of photos that turned out with the new film I was trying.

Climbing + Cacti
Last weekend I threw my tent and crash pad into my Jeep and made my way out to Joshua Tree National Park to join the ladies from Tera Kaia Basewear and Girls Who Climb for a few days of climbing and camaraderie at their Climbing + Cacti meet up.

Thank you Lea Hernández , Girls Who Climb, and Tera Kaia for organizing this event! The photos below are only a few of my favorite from the weekend. Enjoy!
Weekend in the Sierras
I made the old familiar trek up the 395 to Bishop for Memorial Day weekend, but this was the first time it wasn't a climbing trip. I traded my climbing shoes for hiking boots and my Mark II for my ae1. We spent the weekend venturing up and down the Sierras hitting everywhere from the temple crag to the hot springs.
Check out a few snaps from the trek along with the faces of my friends who made the weekend so enjoyable.
Band of Gringos @ Moonshine Beach
"I'm flying high over Tupelo, Mississippi, with America's hottest band... and we're all about to die."
Just kidding, I just couldn't write a blog on music without somehow including a quote from my favorite movie. Rolling Stone might not be paying me to tour the country with a rogue rock band, but my friend Kasey did snag me credentials to shoot him and his crazy talented amigos, Band of Gringos, while they performed at Moonshine Beach.
The first time I heard the Gringos play was on the main stage of the Ocean Beach Street Fair last year with the waves crashing behind them and a cold beer in my hand. Like any other kid that grew up stealing their dad’s Led Zepplin IV album would be, I was an immediate fan of their Hendrix-esque sound. If you love Classic Rock, a healthy dose of shredding solos, and supporting local music, then you need to check out the Gringo trio. Cody Sherman is their guitarist and vocalist, Spence Noble plays the drums, and my buddy Kasey Dring ties it all together with his bass guitar. The band is based out of Ocean Beach and can be heard playing various spots around the San Diego such as Winstons and Belly Up.
Go follow Band of Gringos on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on their shows and groove along with me in the front row!
