So I'm back for a few days between mountaineering camps...
"Wait, like summer camp?"
Yeah, you read that right. Like the coolest summer camp for adults who love type II (and a little type III) fun, all together in some of the most remote and beautiful Canadian mountain ranges with zero cell signal for weeks at a time.
Every day without fail, one of the docs at camp would ask, "Alex, how's it going today?"
Every day my answer was the same:
"livin' the dream".
^^^ apologies I lost my voice in the mountains 😅
The TLDR
As discussed in the "Welcome to Mack Minutes" issue, each of these will start with a TLDR for the neurodivergent / ADHD compadres. So here's the scoop:
IT'S "MOUNTAIN SUMMER"
I'm currently between weeks working with the Alpine Club of Canada's General Mountaineering Camp, based out of the Remillard range in British Columbia. Last week I worked as the coordinator, this week I return as the photographer (!!). Absolutely thrilled with the career change right now 😉
NEXT STOP: CANADIAN ROCKIES
Following next week's GMC I'm on a hiking / backcountry trip through the Rockies. Revisiting some of my favourite places which are arguably some of the most beautiful and coveted in Canada. And it's no surprise I have about 50 pounds of camera gear packed lol.

"Based Frames" on Zora. This series of 35mm frames from the Canadian mountains will continue when I return. The upcoming edition will be 3 / 12 monthly drops that will take place over course of the year.
"Where's the Extended Version?"
Skipping it this time as I'm about to head out the door and make my 7-hour journey to our staging location! I'm sure I'll have more long-format musings and writings when I'm back in one place.
Bu in the meantime, if you're curious to find out more about the mountaineering camp, I made a short series of reels that you might find interesting:
