Posted: December 20th, 2009 | Author: doug | Filed under: dougKIM photography, New York City, Nikon This was an impromptu snowball fight in Times Square around 1AM in the midst of the blizzard Saturday night. The real danger wasn’t the snow and subsequent moisture destroying my gear. Note: due to demand, prints can be purchased now at SmugMug. Snowball fight in Times Square 12/19/09 © Doug Kim
Climbing-related quotes
The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this, "What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?" and my answer must at once be, "It is no use." There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behavior of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. Near the foot of the mountain we visited a yogi who dwelled in a hollow tunneled beneath a boulder. Life is brought down to the basics: if you are warm, regular, healthy, not thirsty or hungry, then you are not on a mountain. . . . You've climbed the highest mountain in the world. We commenced plugging up in foot deep steps with a thin wind crust on top and precious little belay for the ice-axe. I told him of my concern about avalanche danger on the route but Peter was full of confidence. We took risks.
