Figured since I don't have any new content in the last couple of weeks, I would add some of my favorite photos from the year.

The year started with an amazing trip to Southern California for the Rose Bowl. After the game, which was worth forgetting, we headed to Ventura and Channel Islands National Park. Certainly Southern California's little gem.

Back to the Northwest for some amazing winter trips in the mountains.

The Olympics in Vancouver.

Bolivia

Golden Eagle work with Fish and Wildlife.

More climbing (or maybe not) in the North Cascades.

Summer in the North Cascades.

Wedding season. My good friends Matt and Jess.

Election season, and a chance to photograph the president.

Barack Obama

And an ex President.

Bill Clinton.

The fall in the North Cascades.

Mt. Baker at sunrise with a lenticular cloud over the summit.

My beautiful wife who supports my crazy adventures.

A trip to Galliano Island, BC. Pretty much rained the whole time, but I did manage to take my wife to a swamp to photograph frogs. In retrospect that sounds really bad. Who the hell would put up with that?
