Welcome to Surface & Symbol!

Here it is.  I've been thinking about creating a climbing blog for a while and I figured it was high time I get to it.  Why NOT create a blog about something I love? If no one reads it, then that's their flippin' loss.  If everyone reads it, then let's hope to Sharma that I'm a better writer than I think I am. 

I've also decided to throw in some photos for your viewing pleasure. 

Oh, and I made that little round logo-thing to the right.  I like to think of it as an illustrated view of the mountains through my lens.

Enjoy!!!

PS - The serious explanation behind my blog's name is that it's from one of my favorite books, The Picture of Dorian Gray.  Oscar Wilde wrote, "All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril." On a more literal note, the climbing is my surface and photography is my symbol.  Proceed at your own peril.
