These images are frame grabs from 2011's short film, Trail Scat (a story of the mountains). You will probably notice the pole in the pix. Using a custom pole mounted Contour 1080P helmetcam and taking advantage of this camera's HD capabilities and ability to shoot at 60 frames per second, I was able to capture a unique and quite stable perspective while I was running Mt. Rainier's Wonderland Trail in the summer of 2010.
frame grab from Slammin' the TrailLast minute editing of footage I took of 2009's 3-day Wonderland Trail hike. This was an experiment to see if I still had the "grit" to pull off a fast hike of this 93 mile trail when my fitness was lagging and my body was aging.
My Wonderland is a film about my then 13-yearold daughter in her quest to hike Mt. Rainier's 93 mile wonderland trail in 5 days. Lugging a camera while accompanying her on over 140 miles of hiking in 2008, she maintained a remarkably upbeat attitude in spite of the difficulties of the trail.
