I tried squatting and lifting while facing the bike, which worked best. I also tried squatting with my back to the bike and pulling from the other side, both of which failed miserably. I could only get it to about a 30 degree angle before my feet would lose traction in the sand, causing the...

Thanks for the response. I should have clarified: I can and have picked up the bike, fully loaded, several times. I wasn't able to pick it up yesterday because every time I'd get the bike about 1/2 way up, my feet would lose traction in the sand, slide backwards and the bike would go down...

I just returned from a failed solo trip on the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route. I'm not one to easily accept failure and frankly it's hard for me to even write this post but in the interest of opening up a discussion that may help myself and others, here we go. I've got almost four years of...

Thanks for reminding me about Tony's work. I've been a big fan of his since the late 90's when I was competing in adventure races. Spent some time on his website tonite and enjoyed every last photo.

That's a damn nice lookin' rig. Love Tacoma's.

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Build in progress Here's a photo of my rig, a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I made this photo tonight on Onion Creek road east of Moab after photographing a spectacular sunset on Fisher Towers. I used an off-camera flash to fill in the shadows and balance the light with the...

For me it's a little bit of both. I'm always scouting new locations and when I find something that may work I go through the whole visualization process of imagining it in different light conditions, times of day, seasons, compositions, etc. as well as which equipment would be best to realize...

Three Days in Southern Utah on a Tiger 800 XC Here's a 5 minute video I put together last year after a 3 day trip in Southern Utah on my then-new Triumph Tiger 800 XC. I'm a still photographer and my video skills could use some serious work. One of these days I want to learn more about video...

Klondike Bluffs is moderate. But, the 4WD road that starts near the end of the main road in Arches, enters Salt Valley and then turns southeast, eventually ending at Balanced Rock, is pretty easy. The hardest part is right at the beginning when you turn off the Salt Valley Road toward Klondike...

Castle Valley is great for sunrise and sunset depending on where you are in the valley. Fisher Towers is amazing at sunset. Hike out to the Klondike Bluffs area in Arches NP for sunset to photograph the Marching Men and I can almost guarantee you won't find anyone else out there. Broken Arch...

We use the REI Kingdom 6. Looks like they also make a Kingdom 8. I freakin' love our tent. Funny thing is, when my wife brought it home I was a bit perturbed as I didn't think we needed such a large tent. It's just the two of us, our 3 year old son and 2 pugs. Now that we've used it for a...

Oh yeah, that area literally features awesome-ness around every bend in the road or trail. I had really hoped to spend a few days at White Pocket this summer during the monsoons but other projects conspired to keep me away. If you ever make it to Moab, please don't hesitate to contact me with...

Thank you for the nice comment, Brad. I'm definitely sticking around. I'm a professional photographer, owner of an FJ Cruiser and a Triumph Tiger 800 XC, both of which get used on a regular basis. Yeah, I think I'm here for the long haul! Really looking forward to getting know some folks on...

I've heard really good things about Bay Photo's metal prints but I've never seen one in person. One of these days I need to order a couple to test out in my gallery. It's good to know they took care of you. Seems too many companies these days couldn't care less about their customers.

I've got 24 canvas wraps hanging in my gallery in Moab ranging in size from 16"x24" to 32"x48" and none of them have exhibited the problem you referenced. I've sold dozens of 32"x48" canvas wraps to clients around the world, including quite a few right here in Moab, and none of them have been...

Here's a few of my favorites: Michael Anderson (I think he's the BEST landscape photographer working today) Guy Tal Whit Richardson (Moab area adventure photographer) Alister Benn Royce Howland (nobody does landscape HDR better than Royce) Jesse Speer f-stop gear (They make the best photo...

If I were you, I'd make sure to spend some time at White Pocket. That place is amazing, especially if you're into photography. No permit needed, either. From what I've heard it's much easier to get a permit for South CB. Another option, if you can't get permits, is to hike Wire Pass to...
