Definitely back in CO. Nothing like the sight of these mountains to make this Colorado girl’s heart sing. #journeyhome #colorado #mountains #coloradoproud #mountainviews (at Tabernash, Colorado)

Hey, we just wanted to let you know that even though it may seem to you like we’ve got it all figured out, we don’t.
.
Always remember that these images capture only a second of our lives. We’re still figuring so many things out. But we do our damndest to make small progress towards our goals every day. Because as the saying goes.. a marathon starts with one step.
.
Today, do one thing (anything, it’s okay to start small) that empowers your soul and brings you closer to your goals. So, what are you going to do?
.
(No, Matt didn’t fall in the water.)

“You are all as much extraordinary phenomena of nature as say, trees, clouds, the shape of fire, the arrangement of stars, the formation of a galaxy. You are all just like that. There’s nothing wrong with you at all… except you have in you something that thinks there’s something wrong with you… but there’s nothing wrong with that either because that’s part of the flow.” - Alan Watts
.
Sometimes we all need a reminder ☝️Nothing like a massive alpine setting to remind us always and again how we’re all simultaneously tiny and impermanent and massively beautiful.
.
We’re still here Idaho, soaking up as much of your serenity and beauty as we can before we start the journey back to Denver for @outdoorretailer later this month and then to NorCal for @theoutbound Pursuit Series in Bear Valley. Anyone else going to either of these events?

HALP creatives!!! I’ve been struggling something fierce on the creative inspiration front the last few weeks.
.
Sometimes what I write doesn’t feel insightful or deep enough to do our situation or Matt’s beautiful photo justice. Sometimes I just can’t get any words to flow. When this has happened before I turn to nature but that hasn’t seemed to snap me out of it. I know some of you have experienced a version of this before… is there anything specific you do to help get yourself out of a creative funk?!
.
Right now I’m trying the ‘hot spring method’…

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.
