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.
^^^ not only are there beautiful clips from the mountains, but also previews of "mounTONE": wearable art with Devil x Detail!!

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 🤘
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:
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.
