Two Weeks in Morocco
I finally got most of my photos edited from Morocco, and you can see the full story over on Exposure. Usually, my travels are very centered around something like mountaineering, trekking or skiing. This was the first time in a while that I spent most of the time just traveling. While we did spend most of our time exploring cities and sights, we also climbed the highest mountain in Morocco, went to the Sahara, and found plenty of adventure.
Exposure
Just as a side note, I can’t say enough good things about Exposure as a platform. I’ve been using it on and off since it launched in ~2013, and there isn’t more beautiful way to share photography and tell stories on the web. Here are a few of my favorite stories from the last few weeks:
The UN is using it to tell stories about its humanitarian efforts, like the struggles of refugees returning to Chad.
Luke Beard (the founder of Exposure) worked with #NASASocial to give a behind-the-scenes look at a recent rocket launch.
Rivian (the electric adventure vehicle company) is doing a freaking fantastic job creating interesting stories featuring their vehicles. They recently took their flagship electric truck on an adventure-filled test drive through the rugged landscapes of South America.
Go skiing on your phone (kinda)
Just this week, Rally Interactive launched a new AR experience for the IKON pass. Just go to ikonmaps.com (on your phone) and take a super cool look at 50 different ski resorts in augmented reality.
That’s all for now, just a quick update this week as I get back in the swing of things. As always, feel free to reach out with ideas, feedback, or stuff you think I should talk about via email, Instagram, or Twitter.
The best way to support is always to share :)
Cheers,
