My Goroka Sing Sing Series

See Photo 1 of 6 for a description of the Sing Sing.
Every year, about 100 of PNG’s tribes gather to compete in dancing, singing, and drumming. I photographed this event a few years ago, and it remains one of the most mind-blowing displays of humanity I’ve ever seen and in the top three of the most remote places I've traveled. Each tribe dances into the festival grounds wearing an incredible variety of costumes made from feathers, fur, shells, their faces often painted in elaborate make up. Each tribe having its own amazing costume
Although the festival has become well-known, I would guess that less than100 tourists were present to witness this incredible event. It’s hard to describe the intensity of the singing and visual impact it has when you first see each tribe enter.
Prior to the start of the festival, I was in a handful of tourists that was taken to view the make-up and costume preparation of the Hagan Tribe, which had some of the most elaborate feathers and even bird wings in their head dresses (see photos 2, 3)
If you have questions about how to visit Goroka, let me know. It's a difficult place to get to, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Doing some cleaning in my shop and found this old keepsake. This is what happens to an Eggbeater when it meets an immovable rock at ludicrous speed. #cycling #MTB #BikeTooter

Haven't doom scrolled in a while and it sure feels good!

@Pdiag23 We're in WI and nearly moved out there a decade ago; but then our dream home showed up on the market and we planted ourselves here for good. We're not ruling out having a condo on the coast when we retire!
@Radetl We visited that area (stayed in WG state Park) for the first time this summer and had a wonderful time. Such a beautiful part of the country and definitely a waterfall lover's paradise. Great photo!
@Pdiag23 PNW has so much. I'm trying to find a way to spend a week MTB'ing at Oakridge, OR with my son next year too. Maybe right when his school year ends.
@Pdiag23 You are correct! We spend a lot of our summertime hauling our small camper around and hiking as much as we can. Really hard to beat it. Next summer is Banff. Can't wait!
#waterfallwednesday is a thing?! Cool! Enjoying all the photos in this tag! Here's a few. One from Shenandoah National Park, another two from the White Mountains in NH. Taken during our summer road trips where we hike excessively.
I'm officially done with surveys. All those that have asked from every place I've done business with or whatever; you've used up my survey supply. Figure shit out on your own.
I so want to buy that, but I've got two big 38mm projects already in progress....

The #AuroraChasers were out and about in #FairbanksAK last night.
Square foam board version of an Estes Big Daddy is ready for finishing and paint. Already looks so goofy! #rocketry #modelrockets
