Chad Butrick

A photographer’s job is easy when the subject is sitting still. And when the photographer has both feet on the ground.

Our thrill-seeking photographer Adam Livingston made his art more difficult—and more spectacular—by climbing a mountain with Chad Butrick, a member of an extreme sports club for people with disabilities. Chad was going to climb, no matter what. So even with an expensive camera and a backpack full of gear, Adam made the climb, too.
