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.

Chile is home to a number of unique buildings, but the country’s seaside dwellings steal the show when it comes to originality. Casa Cox, designed by the locale’s very own Zeta Arquitectos, bridges the gap between a forest-oriented cabin and a stilted surf shack — two things that you don’t often pair in the same sentence. To develop the minimalist space, Zeta took to the drawing board — looking to create a friendly, cozy common area that could be used as both a sociable retreat and a secluded getaway. An exterior adorned in slatted wood siding, intriguing stilts, and a raised patio area give the home its very own character, allowing denizens to spend their evenings admiring the surf. Within the structure, a single solitary living area plays host to the dwelling’s primary living areas, complete with a modernized kitchen, wood-burning stove and chimney, and a large, front-facing window that perfectly frames the home’s oceanfront view. An upper level that can only be accessed by ladder features four separate beds, as well as its very own private deck, giving family and friends a splendid view of the surrounding area.
