To catch some of you up, I’ve spent the last 2 weeks in Nepal. During that time, I trekked the Annapurna Circuit for 11 days, which is said to be one of the top treks in the world.

I’ve climbed to the highest I’ve ever been in my life (18,000ft, 5416m), [...]

As I’m sitting here in my folks nice comfortable living room with a cup of coffee, fast wifi, my dog, and a fully stocked refrigerator, I realize that it will be the last time I’m going to live this comfortably for a while.

The E-Book, “How To Make Your Photos Not Suck,” by Sean Ogle is one such product.
