See you great champ.

Experience Meran in hiqh quality resolution and dynamic range thanks to the Blackmagic Cinema Camera (BMCC). Be sure to watch in HQ and fullscreen if possible. I went out on two mornings to shoot some highlights in my hometown Merano, South Tyrol. Featuring the Kurhaus, Promenade, the river Passer with our new "beach" access, Therme Meran, Pulverturm, Tappeinerweg and the Gilf gorge. All clips were captured in Raw and processed with Lightroom and AfterFX. Lens used include Tokina 11-16, Canon 35 1.4, Canon 50 1.4 and the Canon 70-200 for the mountain peaks. The sliding shoots were done using a Glidetrack SD slider.

I always dreamed of climbing with David. I would watch videos of David climbing with Conrad Anker and say... when I'm 28, David will be 42 and I'll be climbing with him. Sadly, those dreams are now destroyed, as David was killed in an avalanche, alongside Jess Roskelley and Hansjorg Auer. They were climbing the M-16 route on Howse Peak. When I first heard the news on Wednesday, I paused... This can't be real... This wouldn't happen to David. But after many hours, I finally admitted to myself David is gone. We must not remember David as a man who died in an avalanche... but instead remember him as the thoughtful, energetic and motivated person he was. Rest in peace David... may your legacy live on.
