Edge of the Earth by Zack Schnepf.
View Large On Black

Another shameless self portrait.

A fun shot I took yesterday while backpacking near Mt. Hood. I was using the 10 second timer, so it was quite a scramble to get up there in time, the mountain kept clouding up before the shutter would go off so it took about 10 trys, but it was loads of fun :)

Funny story about this image, my buddy and I were totally bummed when we saw the fog rolling through, we thought it was going to ruin sunset which it did. The point is, in my boredom I captured this gem which is now one of my all time most popular images. Just goes to show, just being out there and keeping your mind open can enable you to surprise yourself.
