Ben Hayes misses the line on Hance Rapids, Grand Canyon, June 2010

Ben Hayes is a photographer, writer, and adventurer enjoying life from somewhere in the Western US, most likely Eastern Oregon’s Wallowa Valley where he is the Program Coordinator for Fishtrap, a non-profit organization that has promoted good writing and clear thinking in and about the West since 1988. He loves to paddle or row any type of craft, backcountry ski, climb trees, walk (trudge), fly fish, and of course, he enjoys taking pictures. In addition to a real job, Ben builds wooden boats and furniture, as well as running this photography site. Contact him at ben@cohophotography with any questions, requests, or to order prints.
