A Christmas Miracle


"So for Christmas this past year, I wanted to get Jessica something beautiful - something that she would never expect, and moreover would be able to one-up proposing to her Christmas Eve of 2012.

After a month of research and looking through over 10,000 vintage teddy bears on online, I was able to find clues to reconstruct her childhood teddy bear "Whitey." Whitey was given to her as a gift during her mother's baby shower for Jess, so he is technically older than she is!

When I began this venture, Whitey was in two pieces (his head ripped off) and missing an ear, his nose, both eyes, and not to mention half of his stuffing was gone. So, I took him to the Secaucus Doll and Teddy Bear Hospital, and after a week, they were able to restore him to his original glory.

This is the video of my beautiful fiancée seeing Whitey again after so many years. If you notice that in the video she thinks it is just a regular teddy bear (hoping there was a Louis bag underneath), and the rest you will just have to watch and see . . ."

Passed by Free Solo Climber - Dark Shadows, Red Rocks, Neveda


My buddy and I were climbing the Dark Shadows route at Red Rocks when we were passed by a free climber.  He was very polite about asking to pass.  After a few minutes I made myself safe and let him by.  I watched in awe as he cruised passed. 

I was about 275' above the ground when he approached, which is the third pitch, rated 5.8.

Close Up Video of Mount Merapi Eruption


Not quite sure why they stick around to film it, instead of running like hell.

Earthquake in Japan as it started -2011 (9.1-magnitude)


"I was traveling from Shirakawa to Tokyo via the JR system.   While stopped at Utsunomiya station, I started  to shoot video across the tracks hoping to catch an express train going through at full speed.   Suddenly the train starts to shake - then thing I know I'm experiencing my first - and hopefully last - earthquake.  While I am back home in the USA, my thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful people of Japan..."
