Thrashing up Mt Wilson for Black Diamond

January 8, 2018 by HagePhoto

The massive vertical wall of Mt Wilson’s east face stands as the crowl jewel of Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s 7,000-foot summit stands as the highest point along The Escarpment; the uplifted range of peaks that makes up Red Rocks. Even if you forego the technical ascents of the ‘Wilson Cliffs’, […]

Looking Back at 2017

December 22, 2017 by HagePhoto

We’ve covered a lot of ground this year, mostly living and working on the road around the Western States. After multiple trips to several states, Mexico, the Caribbean and our home in Alaska, it’s safe to say our little boy (now 18 months) has travel in his blood. We started off the year in Southern […]

The Perfect Storm for Polartec’s Neoshell

October 11, 2017 by HagePhoto

There are certain locales that a commercial photographer can count on for ‘on demand’ conditions. So Cal for that sun-soaked look. The red rock and blue skies of Utah canyon  country. And if you absolutely need it to storm, there’s no better place than coastal Alaska. At least that’s what we thought….. Last fall we […]

Backpacking in the Uinta Mountains for Utah Tourism

September 22, 2017 by HagePhoto

Backpacking with a full Nikon kit, including two cameras and eight lenses? Can do. Hanging out on top of an 11,000 foot mountain waiting for that sweet light? No problem. Enduring a week of four-percent beer? Well, if we have to. We wrapped up the summer with a commercial shoot for the Utah Office of […]

Not Quitting on Mt Rainier’s Wonderland Trail

September 6, 2017 by HagePhoto

Even at the sky-scraping altitude of 14,410-feet, Mount Rainer is not the tallest peak in the western states, but it is massive. We usually get a good look at this glaciated giant every time we fly into SeaTac (which is quite a bit) and a couple years ago got the chance to trek it’s famed […]

Oregon Singletrack for Platypus Hydration

September 6, 2017 by HagePhoto

Awhile back, our friends at Platypus Hydration sent us out with prototype versions of their new packs for mountain biking. To produce the work, we outlined a week-long tour of Oregon singletrack: Oak Ridge, McKenzie River, Bend. We recruited some friends along the way to help make the pictures and showcase the men’s packs. We […]

Summer Sojourn in the Trinity Alps

August 9, 2017 by HagePhoto

Usually we know we’re in trouble when it’s 80-degrees at the trailhead. But that’s considered a cool summer day in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. Back at our Airstream on Trinity Lake it was nearly 100-degrees already. So we shouldered out packs, one carrying Dusty, and hit the trail. No swimming hole would be […]

High Sierra Rainwear in Alaska

August 9, 2017 by HagePhoto

Even though our robust travel schedule might say otherwise, our home base is in Southcentral Alaska. Just down the highway, the whole region is a temperate rain forest with some towns measuring the annual amounts of ‘liquid sunshine’ in feet not inches. So yeah, this is a good place to shoot rainwear. The outdoor brand […]

Those Hot Powder Days of Summer

August 3, 2017 by HagePhoto

It’s not unusual for us to be shooting out of season. Much of our commercial work is produced nine to 12 months before it’s used in advertising. The timeline can be about half that for an editorial shoot. Sometimes much shorter. In this case we had wrapped up a gear guide shoot for a magazine, […]

The Wonderland Connection

June 24, 2017 by HagePhoto

My first visit to Joshua Tree National Park 15 years ago nearly ended in that kind of tragedy. A buddy and I were down from Anchorage, Alaska to climb granite splitters in the desert sun. After a week of constant climbing, we needed to give our destroyed hands a break. A day hike through the […]
