September Presentation

 

Backcountry Photography:
in the Cascade Mountains and Beyond

Monday, Sept. 13th, 7pm
Presented by Jason Hummel


For the young Jason Hummel, mountains were explored from the vantage of his parent’s shoulders before he could walk.  This exploration has continued on trail, water, snow, mountainside, bike and whatever other means he can take to reach the places he adores.  He usually seeks out-of-the-way reaches of the Cascade Mountains near Tacoma, the city he now calls home.

Forrest Skiing Down Into Luna Cirque. The Pickets Traverse Feb 2010
No matter where he may be, Jason takes his camera along to share the spectacular imagery he has captured in rugged regions such as the Picket Range in winter, the Bailey Range, the North Cascades, and other tantalizing locations throughout Washington state.

Jason will share many of the comical, sad, laughable and scary stories from childhood climbs and hikes, like Mount Rainer and Olympus, and also his more recent ski traverses and descents on the Alpine Lakes Traverse, and the northeast face of Mount Fury.  Come join him for this wonderful show during our September PWC meeting.
