#clarkcortez

Last night we definitely had the coolest neighbors on the block. We *finally* got to meet Jessy and Mander, her 1978 Dodge Commander @a.girl.and.her.commander in person! (We’ve been chatting online for well over a year at this point!).
.
Although we’re putting in long days driving to get from Denver to NorCal to attend @theoutbound @pursuit.series in Bear Valley this weekend, we made a tiny detour to see our friend Gavin @winnebagowanderlust (with the badass AMC pacer in this shot) and meet Jessy. We spent less than 24-hours together but quickly bonded over our vintage rigs, and many on-the-road repairs.
.
Hope to see you on the road again soon guys! MANDER ON!

Does going a month without disposable plastic seem like a huge challenge?
.
We live in a society that prioritizes convenience over responsibility, short-term happiness over long-term consequences. What we’re saying is that it’s OK if it feels hard, because it is! The infrastructure we rely on doesn’t give us options, alternatives, or any easy way to avoid single-use plastics.
.
By joining the ‘team’ and living a #plasticfreejuly you are doing more than reducing your footprint on our planet. You are also making a statement. You are telling our society and the world that you care, that you want options, that you want convenience AND environmental responsibility. It’s all possible, we just need to make our voices heard.
.
This July, let’s make the mountain that is single-use & disposable plastics into a molehill. Who’s joining us? (Peep the highlights for details about our zero-plastic shopping kit- it’s everything we bring with us when we shop to make sure we can stock up plastic-free).

Photo number 2 on this #twofortuesday is our 1964 #clarkcortez parked close to the summit of Togwotee pass.

You can find this epic spot East of Jackson in the rugged and wild Absaroka range of North-West Wyoming. Fun fact: I spent 2 weeks backcountry ski touring at this very spot on a NOLS semester course back in 2007.
.
I shot this photo with my #fujixt2 and 23mm f/1.4 lens. I composited multiple exposures using a technique called #focusstacking to get the mountains, RV, and log in the foreground all sharp. I also included two exposures in this composite that were shot at two-minutes+ length using a 15-stop @leefilters Superstopper to achieve the creamy sky and pond surface.
.
It was a complex photo to produce but I think it was worth the effort.
