Abbey Smith just interviewed me for venturethere.com and posted a gallery of semi-recent work – from Obama to endangered species. Check it out here!

And now for some shameless self promotion. Urban Climber just did a profile on me – check it out here!
Chasm Lake, the Diamond and a marmot, Longs Peak, Colorado.
One thought got me through the past year of grad school- the Diamond. In D.C., I’d steal an hour, hop the Metro to Earth Treks, jump rope to make the most of my 45 minute gym sesh, close my eyes and imagine I was hiking to the Diamond. I ran up every city stair I could find, hoping I could somehow maintain the cardio shape I’d gained over the summer in Colorado, conditioning that melted away each day. At the D.C. Metro stations, where you access each train by nauseatingly steep, long escalators, (D.C. Metro boasts two of the longest continuous escalators in the world-about 200 ft.) I’d run the whole way up while overworked government types would lean heavily on the black rubber banister and stare, or students yelling nonsense would stop mid-sentence and gape as I passed them. People commented occasionally, like, “Oh damn, that girl’s taking the stairs,” but mostly they just stared tiredly.
