Aerial Photo Calendar

Every Christmas I make a calendar for my friends and family. This year the theme of the calendar is "Aerial North Cascades," containing 13 carefully selected high-quality aerial images of Washington's rugged and beautiful glaciated North Cascades. Each month is represented by an aerial photo taken during that month. Here is a sampling of my aerial photography.

The calendars are large format and professionally printed by Apple. Contact me at sabegg@gmail.com if you are interested in acquiring a calendar(s). I order the calendars from Apple on an individual basis and get them directly shipped to your address. The calendar can be ordered at any time, and can be even be customized to span any range of months (for example, June 2013-June 2014).

Photos by month:
JAN: Early Winters / Liberty Bell
FEB: South Hozomeen
MAR: Hidden Lake Lookout
APR: Glacier Peak
MAY: Shuksan
JUN: Baker
JUL: Bonanza
AUG: Baker
SEP: Dome Peak
OCT: Wildfires '12
NOV: Mt. Stuart
DEC: Southern Pickets
(JAN): Rainier
+++: Mystery peak on cover

As a challenge, if you can name the summit on the cover photo below I will offer you (for the same price) a special 13-month calendar containing Mt. Rainier on the extra month.

Quick Link to Night Photography


Here's a quick link to my page on night photography, which gives lots of photos as well as a technical discussion on the physics of night photography.

Route Overlays
(some examples)

I find it's often instructive to see a climbing route on an actual photo or map, rather than a written description or hand-drawn topo. This page has some images of photo overlays I've made of some of my favorite climbing routes. These are only examples of several more route overlays that can be found in the trip reports on my website. (As my Photoshop skills have developed, the hand drawn red lines of my early route overlays have evolved into the more professional annotated diagrams of my more recent trip reports.)

If you are interested in a higher-resolution image for printing, email me.

Enjoy!
