Lots of new images from my Summer Vacation to Atlanta

Posted in News on September 9th, 2009 by Derek Rippe

Just finished uploading a slew of images from my trip to Atlanta this year. My brother and I spent about a week with our cousin and his family traveling around the southeast United States to do some climbing and other unexpected activities.

There are two new galleries available from the trip, featuring the Sandrock Climbing Crag and our multi-pitch climb of The Nose at Looking Glass Rock. There are also a few more random collections of photographs from our caving adventure at PettyJohns Cave, a day in the sun at Allatoona Lake, and some free-style bouldering on a homemade Woody.

Welcome to the new website

After learning how to create my own Wordpress theme, I decided it was time to re-design this website based on the Wordpress platform. The end result is a photoblog which is easier for me to update, allows for you to leave comments on photos you see and articles you read, and easier for you to keep up with where my photography has been and where it may be going. Thanks for stopping by!

It’s been a while… I know

I have been neglecting this site for a few months, unfortunately. My photography has slowed, mostly because between work and rock climbing, life has gotten in the way. My web design skills have improved significantly over the last few months due to the nature of my 9-5 job, and I’ve been yearning to redo this website yet again. I will probably incorporate a Wordpress blog which will allow me to make updates MUCH more easily. So hopefully by the end of summer, I will have the new site completed!
