I need to take more pictures. Every year, I tell myself I need to take more pictures. It’s not like I have a lack of cameras. That’s certainly not the case, since I possess around 8 cameras or so, all for different kinds of reasons. I just need to use them more. Anywhere from LOMO to pinhole cameras, I’ve got them. Actually, I need to finish making my pinhole camera, so I can check it out. I’ve got a box of film just for this purpose. My “junk” film as I like to call it. 100 rolls of expired film, just for experimental reasons.
I decided to attach a few pictures to this post (gallery after the bump) to remind me of some of the pictures I’ve taken, and to show you that I do take pictures, just not enough of them (in my opinion). I really really need to take more pictures.
This summer, I plan on doing as much photography as I can, by taking as many photo trips as I possibly can. If you’re in the Portland/Seattle area, why not look me up, we can go out and do some photo essays or just plain have some fun taking pictures.
Do you take pictures?
So my mom sent me an email, and told me to check out this link. Little did I know that it would be an amazing adventure with incredible photos and a great story! The Mt Huashan Hiking Trail in China may well be the most deadliest trails in the world! Not only is it just a “trail”, you do the entire trek without special tools or equipment. Possibly with just white gloves that you buy from an old lady at the bottom. This trail is incredible, and amazingly dangerous. There would be no way in the world you could find a comparable park in the USA. I could only imagine hearing about the number of people dying just from a heavy wind coming across the mountain.
For those of you who want to experience the video, it’s located here. The video entails the section of the North Peak where you walk across the planks. Most people would probably never see this section unless they were really daring and wanted to risk their lives.
A part of me would love to try this someday. But then the sane side of me says “hell no!” Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’ll never get around to it. But the pictures are breathtaking!
