Today, while surfing the web, I came across Colin Haley’s blog. For a pro climber blog the writing isn’t bad, but what I thought amazing about it was Haley’s ability to capture the essence of climbing within his pictures. The photos illustrate the interaction between climber and environment, they incite excitement, they push the viewer to ask why and to also think I got to get there. The mountains lure us and it’s not just with their beauty. Sometimes it’s the pain and struggle they bring that draws us farther up them, into the unknown. Haley reveals this, even if unknowingly. His camera doesn’t lie, but then again when you’re in the mountains as much as he is these characteristics surround you and attach themselves to the lens. You just have to take the picture.
