snowshoe or hike for hours to the most remote of locations in search of
the perfect image. "In the field of adventure photography, as in
life, it is all about the journey. The inspiring images are merely documentation
of the True splendor of nature."
Skip's other interests include survival trekking, white water rafting,
the studies of history, computer technology, science, and nature, as well
as an eclectic taste in reading and music.
