.. .. .. ..Well lets see, I grew up in the beautiful town of Redding in NORCAL (aka hella) where I starting cycling running climbing backpacking mounteering and just plain exploring the expansive wilderness. I am a sports advertising photographer, ( Carson Blume Photography ) specializing in cycling, running, climbing and another outdoor adventure sport you can imagine. I have another business that is a digital production service for photographers, ( Digital Capture Systems ). My active lifestyle is currently on hold due to a unfortunate runin with a Land Rover on my road bike, ( Cars R Coffins ) it broke my knee cap and various bones in my arm. I will most likely be moving to San Francisco in the next year, if I don't run away to europe.
