Personal

When absent from his office, Weld can be found at Cafe Allegro or in the stormy mountains, climbing. In the past, he enjoyed traveling the world, but now he's more likely to be found playing with his children Adam, Galen and Leah.
You are invited to visit his ancient galleries of Antarctica, Pacific Northwest, and Desert wilderness photographs, as well as his newer albums.
See also his sabbatical blog on New Zealand, Indonesia & Australia or his illustrated stories about Descending the Noatak River, Kayaking in Antarctica, Exploring Morocco, Trekking in Ethiopia, Traveling in Nambia, Trekking in Pakistan, and his family year-end letters: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011-12, 2013, 2014, 2015-16, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
