On Breaking the Routine

https://www.elevators.com/9lq5dyp by Fire Girl Jess on December 10, 2014

Tramadol Hexal 100Mg Online Writer’s note: This piece evolved from a train of thought that may or may not have spiraled off the tracks while I was stranded overnight in Washington Reagan International Airport a few weeks ago. I was still in Belize clothes—fishing pants and flip-flops—and spent the night napping on top of a heating vent, curled around my Pelican case while sleet came down outside. I was exhausted and sick and, yet found it an oddly good experience. Sometimes you are tired and happy and know the assignment is finished and life is good, despite peculiar circumstances.

https://lpgventures.com/8bqtib9qsx At any rate, the words below evolved from that mental train of thought, and solidified once I made it back to Vermont and began to look around. Take it for what it is: a bit of a rant, an exercise in mindless writing, a modicum of soul cleansing.

Belize in Black and White

by Fire Girl Jess on December 7, 2014

Joseph, from Orvis Adventures, logs a bit of casting practice at El Pescador.

Joseph, from Orvis Adventures, logs a bit of casting practice at El Pescador.

After the vivid, memory-searing colors of Belize—even underneath the persistent rain and dreary conditions we had for much for the trip, the colors managed to pop—it’s been a a bit of a shock to come back to the land of brown and white here in Vermont. It’s made me take a deep breath, reassure myself that winter is alway tough and it’s about time I up my snow photography game anyway, and plan some upcoming trips.

That doesn’t mean I’ve not enjoyed delving through the colors found in the Belize edit. The images have gone to a wide variety of clients, including Orvis, El Pescador, and a host of editorial partners. I’m excited to see them start coming to print and web in the near future (more to come on that.)

As I look through the edit, though, I’ve been stunned by a few images that simply demand black and white. Sometimes the subject is too strong, the lines too bold, to worry about color. They demand a more direct approach.

So head on over to Chi Wulff to see a few B&W selects from the Belize edit.

And a huge thanks to everyone who made this trip possible—especially Orvis and the entire, lovely team at El Pescador. It was an incredible experience, and I look forward to the next time I make it to the flats off Ambergris Caye.

These locals were waiting for the rain to abate before they could go work at the dock, repairing boats.

Grayl Water Filtration Review on Chi Wulff

by Fire Girl Jess on December 4, 2014

CW_Grayl-2Everyone who travels can appreciate the simple value of having water available. While here in the States often we are never far from a safe source of drinking water, sometimes on the road it is a bit harder to find. Without proper hydration our bodies don’t function as well—we get tired, sloppy, and just generally feel nasty. Not to mention imbibing water is crucial if you’re having a drink or two (or four…).

It’s not rocket science. Basically, drink water to feel good.

In the spirit of dependable water, the good folks over at the Grayl sent over their new Quest water filtration cup for me to come along on the recent Belize assignment. The system performed admirably, and looked pretty darn cool to boot. ( I still defend that rods and reels make pretty good accessories for nearly any kind of product shoot.)

Read the full review here on Chi Wulff.
