The Haps.

Andy Mann Photography 21 hours ago | Reads 1 (cached version)
I'm re-surfacing from my longest blog hiatus since 2006. Pretty fair run I had there for a while... Anyway, since releasing the film Rocky Mountain Highball last month, I've been traveling a good bit, climbing, and shooting lots of photos. I've spent most of the summer developing boulders and shooting at Mount Evan's Lincoln Lake, sport climbing in Ten Sleep, WY, and I just returned from a two week t ...

Lauren Lee sending in Little Si, Washington. Summer 2009. A most interesting body position.

Well, I'm not serving as many unpublished images here as I used to, but I get a lot of emails from people who say they enjoy the servings. So, I promise I'll post more. Recently, I have been spending a lot of time shooting up at Mt. Evans. The scenery there is beautiful and I've been getting my alpine fix in before heading elsewhere for most of the summer. I'm interested in documenting some of the more obscure zones there and shooting problems ...

Darrell Scott's new album "A Crooked Road"

Andy Mann Photography 2010-06-07 | Reads 7 (cached version)
In my opinion, Darrell Scott is the most important American singer/songwriter out there today. If you follow this blog, you may remember a post (here) about having the outstanding opportunity to shoot some portraits of him in March (on a whim). Since that afternoon, I've been pleased to see Darrell using the images to pr ...

Enter - The world's biggest action and adventure sports photography contest. 4,337 Photographers from 112 countries. Whoa! Imagine judging this thing? Crazy. I've submitted 25 images in 5 different categories to the contest and months later many of my climbing photography is being briefly flashed on the contest home page. (See a few screen shots below) I hope this is a good sign as the judging continues months after the submission deadline. ...

Urban Climber Photo Annual Cover

Andy Mann Photography 2010-06-01 | Reads 8 (cached version)
An image I shot this winter in Hueco Tanks, TX was chosen for the cover of the 2010 UC Photo Annual! I am super amped as this is issue is all about the photos, featuring climbing photography around all over the world. I also contributed a feature-length photo essay of my beloved Flatirons, as well as 2 "Leading off" spreads in the front.
This is by far my favorite cover to date. I remember thinking that this image had a shot ...

Smith Rock, Oregon

Andy Mann Photography 2010-05-21 | Reads 5 (cached version)
After completing "The Battle in the Bubble", I made a quick exit, stage left, to Oregon's Smith Rock State Park to meet up with Jonathan Siegrist, Paige Claassen, and others to shoot some photos. We are staying at Steve House's (Alpine legend) farm a couple miles outside the park and life is good! Slow livin' out here - keeping the cows fed, slow zen mornings, hard afternoon sessions, and early evenings. I'm diggin' it! It feels good ...

Battle in the Bubble

Andy Mann Photography 2010-05-19 | Reads 6 (cached version)
Last Saturday I put to rest a special nine month project. I was hired as the Director of Audio/Visual/Live Streaming for a huge bouldering competition held out at the Boulder Reservoir last Saturday. Coordinating an outdoor production of this size was no easy task! The AV team I assembled for the event was the best I could possibly imagine. We were consistently faced with logistical road blocks and problem solving along the way, but always seem ...

The new issue of Urban Climber Magazine is out and I am pleased to have landed the cover. This is my 6th cover with UC and I gotta say, I'm reeeeeally stoked on the image and layout. (Yeah Paige Claassen!) Within this issue you'll find Paige and I's article about a recent New Mexico sport climbing road trip, as well as nice five page Hueco Tanks photo gallery from this winter. (2 images running as spreads.) Below are a couple of images I was re ...

Thanks to everyone who came out to Neptune's Mountaineering last night to support Matt Wilder , Jonathan Siegrist , and my slideshow and helping to make the event a success. I'd say there was well over 125 people there and i was pretty nervous! It was a blast and I c ...
