On Monday morning, eager to start downloading my photos, I popped open my memory card case, and found myself staring at a missing slot. One of my cards was missing, and I quickly deduced that it was the one with all the cool glacier and northern lights photos. Somehow, I’d dropped it out there in the backcountry, somewhere during our last day riding out from the glacier. In all my years as a photographer, I’ve never lost a card on location. And of all the cards, that was a really bad card to lose. Fortunately, I was able to go back and find the card and thus rescue all those glacier and norther lights photos, many of which you just saw.
You can read all about my total freakout and see how I actually recovered the card in this blog post.
I’m thrilled to have done this amazing trip with such fine fellows, and I look forward to future adventures with Glenn & Josh. Thanks to you both for your camaraderie and your friendship, and for being such good photo models. It was also very cool to go on an adventure with two other photographers. The shared passion added an interesting dimension to the experience, even though we kept stopping to take pictures of each other, and took longer to cover all that ground. Plenty of bikers could have ridden the route faster than we did, without getting lost, but for me it’s not about speed, it’s about fun, adventure and exploration.
Be sure and check out Glenn and Josh’s photos of the trip, because they both took some really amazing shots.
