A summer of livin' the dream.

I'm truly still in awe of everything I've experienced over the past two months.

From full shifting careers,

to working as a photographer at a remote mountaineering camp,

to exploring the Rockies and British Columbia backcountry,

to teaching my first hiking clinic with Arc'teryx,

to frolicking in the desert,

and back to "real life"...

let's just say I'm pretty happy with my recent life choices.

The TLDR

mounTONE: WEARABLE ART WITH DEVIL x DETAIL

post image

price: 0.096 ETH

art: digital photography x physical photography

sweater: screened on heavyweight 100% french terry cotton, digital

chip on arm for authenticity & connectivity

edition: ERC-1155 on ETH mainnet

physical print: "Meridian" signed by Alex Mack

I'm SO BEYOND STOKED for this drop. My first ever physical, wearable art, with a concept that I'm very proud of. By combining digital photographs of some of my favourite peaks with physical watercolour, I've created a set of "mounTONE" panels that are beautifully presented on a high-quality crew neck sweater, just in time for cozy season.

There are a few easter eggs in this art as well. Let me know if it prompts you to do any research

Hugely grateful to Devil x Detail for this incredible opportunity, their collaboration, openness and ongoing support. They also put together a lovely article and artist bio for me on Twitter, "The Wonderful World of Alex Mack".

The drop is live for 2 weeks, with up to 100 available.

Let me know if you have any questions ๐Ÿค˜

One of the mounTONE panels, "Meridian", will be provided as an edition alongside the sweater.

A VERY SUCCESSFUL ALPINE SUMMER

It's been just... brilliant.

Working at a mountaineering camp, including as a photographer, has been a dream.

Then, having the flexibility to carry on to more adventures through the Rockies, as opposed to the limited time I'd have in my previous job... well, it's very special.

A few images I've worked through so far:

The magnificent spires and mountain range we climbed in the North Selkirks.

An absolute classic view of Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park.

I think this is what "bliss" looks like.

PUBLISHED IN THE CANADIAN ALPINE JOURNAL

This is truly an honour.

One of my favourite images ever, from one of the coolest climbs ever, from one of the best weeks of my life.

To see my art published in the Canadian Alpine Journal is an incredible milestone to me, as a photographer who aspires to capture adventure in the mountains, especially our beloved Canadian Rockies.

3/ Mountains are the spine of the earth. They challenge us. They elevate us. They teach us strength & humility. They tell us stories of time & transformation. They allow us to perceive the earth in panoramic technicolour. โ€œmounTONEโ€ is a study of gratitude for these peaks.
