This is it, the big time. Once a year, we roll around with this gigantic machine we call our "Photo Annual" and drop the hammer. It delivers crushing blows by some of the gnarliest lensfolk known (and unknown) to rock climbing. Their perspectives and techniques are as unique and badass as the people and lines they set out to capture. Simply put - we let them bring it on.

Tim Kemple tears it up, literally, with a photo essay of hand-manipulated slides that have been burned, torn, and inked up for your viewing pleasure. Boone Speed is back with another gallery of colors, textures, and moods that can be appreciated by any lover of art and the great outdoors. Set yourself up for a blood-rushing, black or white, hit it or be damned move.the equally feared and loved dyno. Also inside: You'll get the shot after reading this Workshop on making the most of your point and shoot camera; Professional photographers share their tips, tricks, and gear set-ups; And of course, we bring it on with some of the most visually arresting photos on the planet!
