Mount Everest // Time lapse short film // Expedition photography // Expeditions

To get ready to climb Everest, I did a lot of hill running with a daypack on and a lot of underwater swimming. I would swim a couple of lengths underwater and then a couple above. It gets your body going with limited oxygen.

 “This forms the nub of a dilemma that every Everest climber eventually comes up against: in order to succeed you must be exceedingly driven, but if you're too driven you're likely to die.”

Explorers, their foundations and social fund raising: A life-size photography exhibition that showcases the soul of Afghanistan (Mountain2Mountain)

Mountain 2 Mountain: protecting women's rights as human rights
[Photo above: Brian Perich]

[Authors notes from Mountain2Mountain foundation] Streets of Afghanistan is a cultural, bigger-than-life art exhibition that highlights the beauty and soul of the land and the people of Afghanistan while challenging existing perceptions of the war-torn country.  A ground-breaking collaboration of Afghan and Western photographers through life sized photography.  

Photography is a means of expression. In a place where expression is often limited, allowing photographers to see their work in their homecountry is not just allowing them to take part in an art exhibit, it's a form of empowerment. Seeing these photographs in the US gives us insight into a world we rarely see; seeing these photographs in Afghanistan is a statement, uniting a group of artists that are committed to political change. 

[Read more about their Kickstarter campaign link]

The Streets of Afghanistan emerged from the vision of Mountain 2 Mountain, a thriving Colorado-based nonprofit that adamantly believes that women's rights are human rights. We believe that in order to provide opportunities and empowerment to women and girls, we must encourage and include the entire community, including men.

One founding ethos was the power of voice and the connection of communities and cultures to foster deeper understanding, compassion, and change.

We believe that change and empowerment must come from the inside.

Images of Bicycle Travel: Day Trip MTB @ The Mongolia Crossing Project

We won the Lotto! No, we traveled to outer Mongolia!

Natural hues of an amazing sky at sunset in Olgii, Mongolia

Dry bones. Can you name this animal?

My friend rented a mountain bike and we set out for adventure.

Our third amigo, he is new to MTB adventures

North of Olgii, we rode up in the hills past the sheep heads for beers.

Storms were brewing as they always do in Mongolia.

Looking back to Olgii, Bayan-Olgii Province.

Cycle and Motorcycle touring in Mongolia is epic.

There is a sky out there that will take you by surprise.

Clouds, they tell stories of Genghis Khan and the Mongols

Day trips with backpacks are relaxing, easy, and rewarding too.

Gravity helps us float back into Olgii to stay the Gers.

Speed and gravity, the endless pursuit of motion.

Backpacking for a day out in western Mongolia.

Ride on!  Inspiration is in the journey ahead of you.

Support for this expedition came from LYNSKEY USA, Makers of fine titanium frames.

Dream the big rides, face all the fears, live all the dreams.
