"I am curious" This photograph is dedicated to my friend Lance Evans Frazier who kindly shlepped 50 pounds of gear to some of the soggiest, remote, and sheep-pellet infested locations the west coast of Ireland offers. During our daily excursions, he taught me volumes about the local culture, history, and plant life thanks to his voracious and relentless reading, even on the stormiest afternoons. Lance is a fearless and accomplished skydiver who sees the exit door on an airplane as more of an entrance. No matter where I asked him to go he never turned down a mission unless he was severely hungover from chasing Swiss girls. Coast Guard Hill at Horn Head County Donegal, Ireland 2006
