Why I Train

My old friend Jim is an eclectic kind of fellow... an engineer that carves and paints, but also canoes and hikes. Like me, he loves the outdoors.



Jim took me bushwalking this weekend at a national wilderness... off-trail, over downed trees, rock climbing up waterfalls, through briars, stepping across boulders and walking on logs across creeks. I thought I was in good shape but this was tough. We only did 11 miles in 8 hours.

This wilderness was new to me, so there was a rich bounty of photographic subjects... of moments to capture. What a great place... what a great life. This is why I train.
