The most expensive thing I own is the thing I lose most often. Six caps in four years. If you find one on a ridge in Mendoza, it is probably mine.

It rained for the entire eleven days and I came home with four photographs I would keep. Some trips are like that, and the ones that are never make it onto anybody's grid.
