North Cascades Time-lapse from Alex Pullen on Vimeo. This is short video I created mostly to house a couple time-lapse videos I did last week in the North Cascades above Baker Lake Washington. The dash cam was a nice human element for sure and helped bring...
Women’s March – Portland, Oregon Tens of thousands gathered to participate in the Woman’s March, Saturday January, 21st in Portland, OR. This day will be remembered as one of the largest mass political events in human history, with millions...
The top of Mt. Hood has been totally covered in snow, and so has much of the high-country… I wasn’t quite ready to let go of her plant life though, so I went for what was likely my last visit to the mossy green undergrowth, ferns and fungi of the forest...
For the last couple weeks I’ve been getting out trying to find a good vantage of Mt. Hood and catch the sunset. It’s predictably rainy and overcast this time of year in Oregon, so I’ve been keeping a close eye on the weather feeds. Last...
Reflections on the Project: As this portfolio of images evolves and expands I’m more and more taken aback by the power and subtlety of these photographs. Like all good artistic projects, this was pursued on a hunch. And, as the portfolio of images comes to...
A few weeks ago I got a message from a friend who I met in Chiang Mai, Thailand this last winter. He was reaching out because he founded a successful Instagram page with almost 10,000 followers and he was looking for a photographer to supply backgrounds for his...
At the end of August, my wife and I had the idea to expand our “red dress” portfolio and create a calendar featuring other women in nature. After a remarkably successful “call for models” we began taking action and bringing this idea to...
There is nothing like expecting a package in the mail! I just got two new prints delivered! These beauties are hanging on my wall right now… I feel so blessed to have witnessed and captured these moments with my camera. Nothing beats holding them and...

One of my goals for 2017 is to do a print series featuring the night sky. I’ve been hooked on astrophotography for more than a year now. I’ve managed to get some decent portfolio, but I unfortunately can’t print my images very big due to the quality....
After a hectic couple weeks of still trying to get settled into big city life, we decided to take a long weekend up on the Washington coast. I really felt like the sea breeze and sleeping on the ground would be good for moral and allow us both to recoup and restore a...
For the last two weekends, my partner and I have been scouting a new area for both fun adventures and photogenic backgrounds. We were tipped about this spot by a friend in the area. Lower Falls is no secret, and it is magnificent… So to avoid the late summer...
I love how doing these time-lapses of the night sky makes me feel like were on a ball spinning through the universe at a billion miles an hour. We can also see the affect of the light pollution from urban areas as well. Remember that we can protect the night sky by...
Chamonix-Mont Blanc – 4K Timelapse from Alex Pullen on Vimeo. 4K Timelapse video of a glaciated peak on Mont Blanc. Taken one afternoon on a hike outside of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France. I left my camera in a pasture on the way up to a Alp style restaurant...

A friend reminded me the other day about a self portrait I did a few years ago… He was asking for advice about how to make his self portraits less “cheesy”… I said, “I don’t know man, I’ve always done dreamy...
Earlier this month I attended the 40th annual Banff Mountain film festival at an intimate theater on the coast of Southern France. While listening to the excited young college students banter among the rows of soft seats, in a language I can understand bits and pieces...
It’s funny how a mistake can lead to a random success. Yesterday had I planned on going to photograph at sunset. I had the idea of going to this little French village and photographing right as the sun was setting on large stone tower attached to the archaic...
Well, we’ve gotten settled in to our studio for the next month nestled atop the old foundations of a castle rampart in the medieval village of Embrun, France. Needless to say we have a spectacular view… and I’d thought I’d share this time-lapse...
Over the last few years many of you have followed my adventures, growth and shenanigans across the globe. I’m incredibly grateful for all of you, and I’m excited for what I’ve got in store for this coming year… It will be my fourth revolution...
In India they say, the God that brought life into the world was himself, born in Leh… The first thing God saw when he opened his eyes, was the sky… Henceforth, the god tried and tried to create things in the world as blue as the sky, but never could. It seems his...
– Journals – Stacks of journals on the floor. Piles of pages of insight. Filtering back through time. searching… finding old threads and grasping. Reliving the passion and dusty emotions. Turning more pages, back deeper and deeper. Crawling into the...
With no one else present I relate to the Self. Full-brimming with emotional solvents I dissolve all thats left. Riding no-hands smiling beneath a clipped crescent moon… With so much room, so much room beneath myself and above the sky so black and bluely true....
Emerging early, to catch the first rays, I walk to the knoll beneath the cherry trees. My unfurling of this tattered mat is a quiet gesture of self-love… of devotion. An embodiment of a fiery passion for life. My intention this morning… as the mat softly...
Patience is the science of peace. I stand here writing a love poem to the world, on the street corner of a grocery store. Watching the cars drive by, sweeping leaves away from the sliding glass door. Inside I feel the lights, the hours, the familiar faces… I...
Something about seven sunflowers.. Collected by bicycle, a busy bee, flying from one stand to the next, seeking beauty and feeling the Sun shine rain joy on a cloudy day. Humming old songs from Jamaica, soft green-blue harmonies under a grey and threatening sky, the...
Melding together flavor, metal pot on the stove. Digging through the pantry, roots, seeds, bark and leaves. Cardamom, black peppercorns, star anise, ginger, cinnamon, clove, black tea. Brewing together the elements, pinches, dashes, splashes, stems, seeds, leaves....
Walking alone through the forest, I came upon two great grand-mother trees. Compelled by their size and age, I asked them each a question. Resting my hands on the scaley-yellow bark of the first I asked, “What do you have to teach me?” Through images and...
Rising early, standing on the balcony breathing morning air. Noticing myself feeling mixed and anxious. Praying for guidance, asking the divine for comfort. Compelled to walk, I let myself be led to the river. Sitting and breathing, awaiting the rising sun. Sitting...
I’ve left my home and journeyed to the other side I’ve gone where others told me not to go I’ve climbed the tall peaks of humanity and delved into their depths And to get there I traversed through my own heart there upon the crux I sat and looked...
How to sum this up… I’ve been in the process of writing The Kashmir Analogs for almost a year now. But it feels like there is more to be said and gleaned from these experiences in India and the Middle-East… And here I am writing the concluding...
It is funny where you find yourself sometimes… after I opened my eyes and let them adjust to bright, early-afternoon sunlight, I saw, sitting in front of me, a young boy wearing a brown tunic, staring at me with a big curious grin… as I regain my senses, all I could...
I went for a walk the other day trying to find good light… You’d think it being easier since it was the middle of the day… Photographing from 10am to 4pm here in Colorado is hard. We get close to a solid 300 days of beautiful sunshine… which is...
– The People – Shoving a camera up to a strangers face requires a lot of nerve. It’s a trip walking up to someone on the street who speaks a different language than you, and saying, “can I take your picture” while using your hands and...
At this point in my journey in Northern India and my stay in Kashmir, things started to move fast. It was on our second day in Lal Chowk, Srinagar that we began meeting leaders of different separatist parties in Kashmir. For Nelson’s project, his intention is to meet...

It has been six months since I returned to the U.S. from India, and I’m still feeling her irresistible and at times overwhelming pull… India never really leaves my mind. The experiences I accrued while traveling there, the people I got to meet and all the...
I’m sitting in my room going over the final details of the presentation I’m giving on Kashmir. Tomorrow at 7pm, I’m bringing home a story that changed my life… and presenting it to my community… bringing it all the way home… My...

We must learn to use our tools well…We are given hands to change the world, eyes to see it as it stands, and an imagination to envision the possible futures. Tools are extensions of our hands… And we must learn to use them proficiently… All of our...
It’s funny to think that I’ve been in the same place for six weeks. Yesterday afternoon, I went on a hike to one of my favorite spots right outside of Durango and had lunch. I made my way onto a carved white pillar of sandstone, that hung prow over the...
Yesterday afternoon a funny thing happened. I went on a hike up Animas Mountain, which is a large forested open space right in Durango’s backyard, to get out and enjoy the prime weather that late summer and the first few days of fall provide us. Since I’m...
It was just a month ago that I arrived back in the U.S., and in that short time I have had so much fun visiting with my friends and family. I’ve been on a few road trips and outdoor adventures, and had some time to pull my life together. I got to spend my first...

So… sitting here laughing on the verandah of our house boat on Dal Lake… because, the universe can throw curve balls… Nelson and I were supposed to leave for Leh two days ago but we got delayed. The night before we were to make the journey to Leh (on...
So, after an amazing, and at times emotional and intense three weeks here in Kashmir, Nelson and I are headed off to Ladakh… Today we spent saying goodbye to all the good friends we made, running errands around town and packing our bags for the next and last leg of...
It’s early evening now, I’m exhausted after another long and hot day traversing Srinagar and the surrounding areas to meet people for Nelson’s project. I’m sitting in the airy front verandah of a houseboat, watching the sunset over the sheet-metal roofs of the stilted...
Sitting in our hotel room overlooking Lal Chowk the main square in Srinagar, I try to comprehend how different people’s lives are here in Srinagar, Kashmir. Peering through the window from my chair, I can see two armored Humvees, two sandbagged pillboxes with machine...

Alex photographed and made prints of one of my paintings for me. He nailed it on the colors! The subtle changes of tone in the blue water and the pinks in the sunset were perfectly replicated in the printed versions. Great artist, very timely, and most importantly, a pleasure to work with.
