Photography on the Run

My passion for the outdoors, photography and exploration began in the parks and pine woods of the South. Drawn by curiosity, I would wander the woods and fields, exploring creeks and following game trails, reveling in the richness of the Georgia countryside. When my father accepted a job in California, we were greeted by eye-watering smog and the Bel-Air fire. It seemed to be far from the promised Shangri-la. But in 1964 a summer vacation hike to a snowbound, partially frozen lake in the High Sierra revealed a wonderland, and hooked me forever.

A few years later I started to run, climb, and ski — and also started to study photography. From Ansel Adams Basic Photo Series to Kodak Technical Notes, I consumed all I could on the subject. I marveled at the art of Alfred Stieglitz, the magical compositions of Henri Cartier-Bresson, and the powerful images of W. Eugene Smith. The elegance and expertise of the prints of Ansel Adams were stunning, the pathos of Diane Arbus images unsettling, and the sensitivity in the work of Paul Sands an inspiration. I spent many, many hours in the darkroom.

Editors seem to like my work, and early on a number of my images were published. One of those editors was William Kemsley, Jr., the founder of Backpacker magazine. He recognized the spontaneous “point & shoot” nature of my photography and gave me an opportunity to present it. Since then my work has been published in a modest number of magazines, books and other publications — but whether I’m shooting with a big SLR, or an ultra-compact camera, I’m still a “react & shoot” photographer.

Most of the photographs here have been taken with small digital and film cameras. Some of the cameras used include the Olympus XA, Contax TVS III, Nikon Coolpix, Olympus Verve, and Pentax Optio WPi, and Panasonic Lumix LX2 & LX3. Occasionally, I will also carry a digital or film SLR on a run. Most have been taken on self-supported trail runs, ranging in length from about 5 to 30 miles. Many of the runs have been in the open space and wilderness areas of Southern California and the Sierra.

A long run may take several hours. It is minimalist photography in …” >>>read more about Photography on the Run

“Ever wondered what it’s like to sell it all and go travel the world? – That’s just what we did…”

“…Aaron and Georgie have been traveling the world since April 2008. aaron and georgie in vietnam 150x150 HappyTimeBlog   Travel Adventure Photography picturesWe sold our house, our car and even our cat so we could go forth and live life to it’s fullest and experience something new everyday. We blog about our travels, our adventures, our love and our life from the road as we go – Mucho Mucho LOVE…”

“With amazing support from friends and family we managed to tie up all our loose ends and set off to live the dream…
Our history as travelers before we left on this adventure was limited, Georgie had enjoyed a few family holidays to America, Jamaica and Barcelona but Aaron had only ever left the UK once for Dubai, again on a family holiday, so to say we had no real experience or idea what we were taking on is an understatement!”

“Obviously we didn’t let our inexperience slow us down, instead it filled us with wonder and excitement. We were very careful when planning our trip not to worry about time frames and schedules what we didn’t want to do was have to leave one place before we were ready just for the sake of seeing another, we wanted time to do and see just what we wanted. Our only plan was to get to Thailand on a one way ticket and the rest would sort itself out… And it did!”

Route 661 Adventures of a GoodMan | Photo Blog by Greg Goodman pictures
Adventures of a GoodMan – World Travel  and Photography - “…fun tales of what happens when you take a New Yorker completely out of his element and thrust him into the backpacker scene.”

*     *     *

“Life is fun and the world is huge! To remind myself of this, every so often pack a backpack and head out on an adventure of some sort. Sometimes I find myself stuck on a motorcycle in shin-deep mud, face to face with the Thai army, chasing a naked burglar through the River Kwai at 3am or lost and alone in the mountains of Nicaragua on a disobedient horse with only my minimal Spanish, the equivalent of 30 cents and a stick of chapstick.”

“Other times I’m meeting amazing new people, seeing the most breathtaking sights in the world, eating every bit of local cuisine I can find, traveling like a local and stopping to volunteer along the way. No matter where I am or what I’m doing, my camera is snapping away and the blog entry is sure to follow.”

“Above all else, Adventures of a GoodMan is meant to be a cross-cultural learning experience. All of the photos are carefully labeled to share not only the image but interesting background information as well: just click on any pic to learn more.”

The One Shoe Diaries | A Randall Louis Hamilton Project

shoe328 sm 300x300 The One Shoe Diaries | A Randall Louis Hamilton Project picturesThe reason that I truly enjoy publishing ILovePhotoBlogs is that not only do I get to look at amazing photography on a daily basis, but also I get to interact with incredibly creative photographers. This afternoon was no exception. A special thank you goes out to Randall Hamilton for writing in to share his photography project – The One Diaries | A Randall Louis Hamilton Project. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this site.

In October 2004 my wife Sharon and I lost our residence on Pensacola Beach to Hurricane Ivan. Instead of treating it as a disaster we made this an opportunity for us to pursue our dream of traveling the U.S. in a motor home. During our adventures we noticed numerous lone shoes sitting on the side of the road. We began to get intrigued by how many there were, and the fact that each of those shoes had to have belonged to someone, but who? Were they male or female, young or old, rich or poor? How did it end up alone on the road? The inherent mystery tied to these images is the untold story of each shoe, the viewer cannot help but create that story in their mind.

So what we have decided to do is catalog the shoes we come across through photographs. Hence the birth of the One Shoe Diaries™. The shoes are left in their original state, we do not alter or move them. Their locations are plotted in GPS coordinates, then logged onto a goggle map for others to perhaps go see if they still remain where we found them. We hope you enjoy our ever-growing collection of shoes and the stories they portray for you to interpret.
