The fourth episode of Outdoor Philadelphia is now live on philly.com. This is my first time shooting with TerraMar Adventures (http://www.terramaradventures.com/). I had a great time with this crew; they are all very nice people and are always looking for fellow adventurists to come along on their explorations.

Shooting the 24-hour Adventure Race for Episode 6

I got in late Sunday night from the 24-hour adventure race out in Promised Land State Park. There were 24 teams from all over the country competing at hiking/running, canoeing and mountain biking for 24 hours straight with no sleep. I was right in the middle of the action the whole time, catching all the craziness. I was always amazed at the racers' perseverance and positive attitudes. It was an exhausting, but wonderful weekend. Watch for this episode going live on philly.com on July 11, 2008.
