Well, I climbed Mt. Fuji again.

This time around, my experience was a lot better. I didn't have to deal with the pouring rain and not having enough food or water for the climb. Plus the part where I didn't pass and almost fell off a cliff could have ended my life. Overall, it was a blast.

I believe everyone should experience a task like this once in their life. Something challenging. Something where people can test their physical, mental, and emotional limits. I feel like a lot of people instead take the easy way out and sit on their asses all-day, but you can learn a lot about yourself with a challenge.

Anyway, I knew I wouldn't achieve the proper lighting for colored photos, so I worked on shapes, textures, and sizes for my composition. I was able to get a lot of dramatic monochrome photos from the beating sun.

Enjoy.
