The photographer Henry Jacobson’s upcoming book, “Postcards Home,” is a collection of iPhone pictures from his travels around the world in the past three years. With the iPhone, Jacobson explains, “I found liberation from the limitations of the camera. I realized that the best work I was doing was not trying to replicate what I did with other cameras. I embraced the pixel, the soft quality. The pictures felt more like paintings, reminiscent of Expressionism and of the pictorialist photographers, even though they were shot on the fly, in the tradition of handheld, 35-mm. documentary photography.”

A new adventure begins in the alpine wonderlands of the #Bugaboos mountains! This is filmmaker/photographer 
This is the heli ride into the ‘east creek’ basin basecamp of the #bugaboos & our 1st look at the massive Howser towers, 3K ft tall monoliths of steep granite inspiration.
Portrait of #bugaboo spire. First climbed in 1916 by Conrad Kain, it’s easy to see why this peak is the namesake of the range. 
Happy to be running 100% on 
It’s not about adrenaline and kicks for the world’s most accomplished free soloist 
During our ascent of the South Howser we came across a climber who had fallen and broken his ankle. Although he was in stable condition and we offered to help with a human powered rescue he opted for a full on heli rescue from the side of the rock face. We called it in via our sat texter and watched from above as they long-lined him off the face. On some climbs there isn’t this possibility and the added self reliance gives you an even greater adventure. Photograph by Jimmy Chin.
Freesoloing is the purest form of climbing, but one mistake and you die. 
Being a professional athlete / artist, it’s hard to lead a low impact lifestyle. The #bugaboos is a often used as an example of ‘climate change,’ as the glaciers there are melting at a rapid pace that even I’ve witnessed during the span of my adventures there. The issues of climate change are complex; scary, confusing, yet motivating. Although it took a lot of fuel flying helis to get here, it makes us feel good that the entire production was solar powered. #solarlife. 
It’s been a pleasure sharing our story here with #thenewyorkermag. Today is the last day of our posts. Thanks for following from the whole crew: 
Climbing can be so much more than a sport. It’s a lifestyle, an inclusive community, and set of ethics for interacting with the mountains. Within the iconic climbing meccas around the globe I’m constantly blown away by the spirit of the tribe. It’s what drives us to continue to share it to best of our ability.
