I grew up dancing my whole life which is why I have a total appreciation for dancers. Being a visually stimulated person, I am inspired by whimsical photography and if they have dancers in them, even better! Last week, I stumbled upon two extremely inspiring photographers, Cade Martin & Jordan Matter. These photos will blow your mind!  Jordan Matter: Michelle Fleet  Jordan Matter: Jeffry Smith  Jordan Matter: Michael Puzzo  Cade Martin  Cade Martin  Cade Martin Enjoy!

An awesome video about an awesome person’s music photography retrospective! We were more than proud to be a part of Show Me Your TIFFS by the indomitable Jenny Jiménez! show me your tiffs: 10 years of music photography by jenny jiménez from Patrick Wright on Vimeo. Big ups to Patrick Wright, one of our very favorite adventurers!
Meet Jenny Jiménez, sweetheart of The Adventure School and one helluva photographer. The secret ingredients that give Jenny’s photos that extra oomph is a sense of humor and talent for capturing real, unconventional moments rather than canned, stage-y poses. If you like Jenny’s work as much as we do, swing by Jenny’s show, Show Me Your TIFFS, this Thursday featuring some clever specialty cocktails for those of us with the right initials: Double D (i.e. Dorcas Doolittle), Double J (i.e. Jenny Jiménez!), and Double You (i.e. Barbie Babbit or MitcheLL, KnoxviLLe.) Identification courteously requested. Oh, and there’s also gonna be a wet t-shirt contest. Yeeeeeeeeah! Check out the rest of Jenny’s excellent portfolio on her website and keep up with her comings and goings on her blog. But first, read her Adventurer Profile!

Every time a new International Adventurer Profile comes down the pipes, I start feeling real itchy to get up and go have an international adventure of my own. But no one has inspired me more than Mike Lewis, the most adventure-y adventurer we’ve heard from yet. This guy is going EVERYWHERE and seeing it ALL. On a motorcycle. I’m in love with his lack of fear in the face of living large. Hopefully you’ll feel equally buoyed after you read Mike’s dispatch. But what really drives the point home are Mike’s magnificent photos. If you don’t feel some wanderlust after looking at these, I think you might be travel asexual. My name is Mike Lewis. In 2008 I sold my home, office, business, and virtually everything else I owned so I could travel around the world on my motorcycle. At this writing, I am in Medellin, Colombia, and happily confess that the trip, so far, has exceeded all expectations. I made my decision back in April 2007. Without any major life crises or traumas to act as impetus, I simply came to the conclusion that something had to change. I had created a good life in Seattle and had achieved some success, but things felt flat. I was comfortable, but bored by life. So, for the next 4-1/2 years I will experience the highs and lows of a more challenging life. Challenged not by paying my monthly bills on time, or making next quarter’s projections, but how I will handle adversity. I am 45-years old and want to see what I am capable of. To see what kind of a man I have become. I wanted to get out of my office and become a global citizen. I want to experience different people and their cultures, eat their food, breath their air, and live were they live. I have no idea what tomorrow will bring, and that’s perfectly fine by me. I now feel alive and inspired by life.
Venerable photographer of nature, travel, fashion and life, Philip Kramer, will be holding a show for your viewing pleasure here in Seattle, tomorrow. If you attend, Team Adventure, will surely be there to share a toast with you. So, come to Fremont Place Books, this Friday, March 6th from 6p.m. to 9ish. Technically, it is a part of the Fremont First Friday Art Walk. Also, technically, it is very close to PCC, from whose food collection you can taste many samples. The work is a selection of medium format photographs from Europe with a smattering of some very recent images from the Pacific Northwest (specifically middle-of-nowhere Oregon). Also, important to note, Friend of Adventure, Joana Chavez developed the concept for FPB participating in the art walk and she has a show there next month. See you tomorrow night. Whoomp, there it is.
