Locals who live around Mount Rainier have a question always top of mind -- "is The Mountain out?" Even after a lifetime of living in the area, I often have my breath taken away when She shows herself.
Have you visited Mount Rainier in the winter? Go, go, go if you can!
Calm, Majestic, Hopeful, Serene, Grandiose…The Mountain. Or more appropriately, and more simply, Tahoma.
Hi there, I have a lot of new followers, so I thought I should do a little Q&A to tell you a something about myself. I'm Troy Mason, a mountaineer, hiker, and landscape photographer from Tacoma, Washington. I usually make images of mountain landscapes (Mount Rainier!), ocean seascapes (Cannon Beach/Puget Sound!), and urban cityscapes (Tacoma/Seattle!).

2020 was tough for all of us. I had photo shows and events canceled, hikes and climbs canceled, vacations put off. But it was still a good year, and I'm thankful for my family, health, and happiness. Click through to read about some things I was able to do...
See photos and read the narrative from The Front Steps Project, in which I took family portraits – at the client’s home, from the yard, observing social distancing rules – in exchange for a monetary donation to charity. In about a month and with generous donations of the families, about $1,500 was raised for Nourish Pierce County. It was an awesome, rewarding experience!
I've decided to take part in The Front Steps Project, as a way to give back to my city of Tacoma, Washington. I'm hoping to bring a little joy to my neighborhood, and also to raise money for those less fortunate or in a tough situation, I will volunteer my talents and produce a professional portrait in exchange for a donation to one of my favorite charities, Nourish Pierce County.
