Lost Coast

This past October, a group of us headed up to the Lost Coast, Northern California. We arrived late at night and took a shuttle two hours north to the trailhead. We didn't get there until 1am, but decided to hike the first few miles at night. Untitled

hiking at night ended up being one of the coolest parts of the trip.

Then headed down the coast. The terrain changed here and there, but it's all coast for 26 miles.

Any trip to the Lost Coast has to be planned around the tides to avoid being trapped in, "impassable at high tide" sections. Here's what it looks like trying to get around the tide.

Sat here after the long first day and watched whales breaching. No hip outdoorsy wear here, just wore my old shit, sorry.

George over-did-it on the hike and spent some time throwing up on this scenic bluff.

The last time we came to the Lost Coast, the weather was much different. Battling storms, waves and allowing for some more interesting photography. This trip felt like a vacation at the beach by comparison.

Light fog on the last morning out. Really happy all I had left was Black and white. Great Trip.

15th & Harrison Mural – Oakland

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to see a mural going up on a big wall in the parking lot on 15th & Harrison in downtown Oakland. I stopped by throughout the day and snapped some photos of the progress. The mural is a collaboration by Chicago based artists, Clam Nation, Nice One, Lady Lucx, and Espir. It looks great, stop by and check it out. Untitled

alanrules – Exposing Sandy

Wow, been awhile BIT BY ZEUS. I've missed you. I've been keeping busy with some incredible opportunities in design land, but have also been photographing a bunch as well. I will update about some of these happenings soon, but first, I want get back into posting by sharing a project by Alan (alanrules). Alan takes some great photos, and also has been having fun with projects (an excerpt). I've been enjoying watching his photo making and was excited to see his project, Exposing Sandy, come to life a few weeks ago. I watched live online, as Alan updated the location of a mobile photo show that moved around New York City in a rented U-Haul. A pop up photo show in a U-haul is already intriguing, but I was excited to see that a show that called attention to the damage of Hurricane Sandy, was complete with a water line and ravaged photographs. And what better way to get someone to pay attention than, boobs. (Click here for a detailed Alan on Alan interview and explanation)

Below are some photographs pulled from alans instagram along with some scanned prints that littered the floor of the U-Haul. I really love the look of these prints that were stepped on and covered in dirt. For additional photos visit alanrules.com —Tim
