Dirtbaggers? Climbers camping short term? Be a part of my photo project!

Hey guys! I'm a documentary photographer who also has a passion for climbing. I'm beginning a new project that will focus on the lifestyle of the modern dirtbag and outdoor climbing in general, I'm posting on here to see if any of you would like to be a part of it!

Mainly this will involve portraits at your campsite/van/truck and obviously a bit of climbing.

I'm based in NYC but able to go wherever is needed on most weekends. Eventually this may turn into a larger nationwide project but we'll see. For now it's staying local in the Northeast. Let me know what you all think! It would be great to meet up.

Here's a link to my portfolio in case you're wondering what some of my work is like: christinabelasco.com

Cool project idea! Your photos on your site are great, good work. If you end up in NH at all email me if ya want. ripunx12690@gmail.com

I live in a Honda Element with my dog - we'd be available for pictures if you make it to NH as well!

Glamorizing vagrancy? :)

Honest question: is the dirtbag lifestyle as prominent in the East as it is in the West? Seems easier to avoid winter on the Left Coast, but maybe that's not the goal...

Spending November in the creek, will have other on/off guide friends and dirtbaggers alike!

Good luck with your project - I'm in the gunks if you make your way up from NYC.

Hey Christina. My girlfriend and I are traveling climbers. If interested in our photos or talking about our doc look us up on Instagram @the_climbing_g20.

I've lived in my van dirt bagging around the country this summer, heading home to NYC next week. Time to teach the next generation of climbers, or just tech students. Before I break my van down, we could shoot some photos. PM me and we can see if it can work it out. Might also hit the Gunks Labor Day weekend,
