Clandestine Hip Shot: Adventure photography means more to me than just tracking the beautiful big cats in the African bush, or sloshing through the rainforest of the Amazon in Brazil, or wading waist-deep in the crystal clear salmon rivers of SuperNatural British Columbia to make that perfect image of the bears in the salmon run. In all of my photo safaris, human culture is incredibly important to me and I try to discover the essential elements that make each culture unique and special. This means photographing people in their natural environment, doing the things they normally do.

Sometimes I am inspired by some external event. The experience causes me to “see the world” in some different way. This is what happened recently. While in British Columbia I read the book “The Road”, by

REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
My experience as a guide and leader comes not just from books, but rather from many years of personal explorations worldwide. I am an active member of The Explorers Club, an organization founded in 1904, with President Teddy Roosevelt. Our members have carried the Explorers Club Flag on many of the historical "Famous Firsts" of world exploration such as: Robert Peary at the North Pole (1909), Roald Amundsen at the South Pole (1911), Edmund Hillary at the summit of Mount Everest (1953), Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh at the Marianas Trench, Greatest Ocean Depth (1960), and Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins as the first on the surface of the moon (1969). In addition, I am an active member of the Adventurers Club of Chicago, an organization founded in 1912. The Adventurers Club flag has been carried to the summit of Mount Ararat and the Matterhorn, in the Amazon jungles and over the Humac Mountains into Brazil from French Guiana, to Antarctica and the length of the Mackenzie River to the Arctic, rivers of the Nile and Congo, river runs of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and El Sumidero Canyon of Mexico, to the "Lost World in Venezuela", the jungles of New Guinea, outback in Australia, on small craft to numerous islands of the Pacific and many other places. In other words, you can feel comfortable and safe with me as your guide because I have been "down the river" many times myself. via Roger Moore Photography Biography.
