Chronicles of an explorer. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Part 1 - Finding Joy in the Natural World. Sitting in their office in the city, whatever that office may consist of be it an art studio, or a call center, the void doesn’t disappear, it just slowly starts to get lost, other more pressing issues begin to cover it, and our lives grow around it until it’s all but gone, until it is uncovered with the next journey that is. I hope that in doing this, I can show the joy of a simple life, filled to the brim wit...

Nomad: November 2009
http://ben-nomad.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Chronicles of an explorer. Friday, November 6, 2009. It’s hard to imagine a place so beautiful and so bountiful can in reality be suffering. At first glance the reef is swarming with life but with a closer look, there is a lot missing. The swarms we see at first are missing some key species. Unlike the meats we eat that come from land, most of the fish we. Links to this post. Links to this post. Did you know that there is a link between sea birds and coral reefs?

Nomad: The Alacranes Reef Expedition
http://ben-nomad.blogspot.com/2009/10/alacranes-reef-expedition.html
Chronicles of an explorer. Sunday, October 11, 2009. The Alacranes Reef Expedition. As is the case with expeditions, as hard as I try not to procrastinate, still, it seems like all of the important stuff doesn’t get done till the last minute. I’m sitting here in an internet cafe feverishly writing e-mails, ordering items, and researching the destination that I’ll be leaving for in only 9 days. I’m going to the Alacranes reef in the Gulf of Mexico. I’ve contacted the group “ Island Conservation. 8221; tha...

Nomad: September 2008
http://ben-nomad.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Chronicles of an explorer. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. I tried going bouldering, but there wasn’t nearly enough in the realm of consequences to push me into that focused attentive state. I’m looking for something that could almost be called meditation, when all external thoughts are flushed out, and the task at hand is all consuming. I’ve always turned to adventure.

Nomad: June 2009
http://ben-nomad.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Chronicles of an explorer. Monday, June 15, 2009. The Power of Photography. This is a transcript of a lecture I gave at the National Geographic Society for their Explorers Symposium. It certainly is an honor to be asked to speak about photography and the Image at National Geographic, especially while surrounded by people who I have considered mentors who are in the audience right as I speak. In this instance however, photographs have captured more than just a moment in time, they have captured a part of ...

Saying Goodbye | NOMAD
https://bhpnomad.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/saying-goodbye
The blog of Ben Horton, Photographer and Explorer. Saving the New Mothers of Nepal →. August 2, 2012. Last week I lost two of my climbing partners to a climbing accident in Peru. I’ve shot photos of these guys in some crazy places, and some of the best adventures that I’ve been on were with them. I’ve lost count of how many friends I’ve lost, but over two dozen is a safe guess. It begs the question, are these sports that dangerous? I mean deep down? Tagged with Ben Horne.
