Rocky Knob Promotional Video

From time to time, I'll get a project that just can't be finished, for whatever reason. Sometimes it's on my end, sometimes it's on others. This one was just a nightmare of an edit with 5 different versions, and a media library that could send an OCD guy to an asylum. I finally geared down, grunted through and finished off the project and can move onto more video out here in California. While this has been on Vimeo for a week or so and promoted elsewhere, I figured I'd go ahead and do a little update here with it as well for you non-followers elsewhere.

Stay tuned for some stills from the Lake Tahoe area!

I'm Alive!

After a few years of frustration with Blogger, I’ve finally pulled the trigger and switched to WordPress, which I am very happy with so far. I’ll resume consistent posts from here on out, but here’s the quick sparknote version of my past few months:

• 1.) I worked in Costa Rica for Rustic Pathways as their staff photographer for 3 months
• 1b.) All of my gear was stolen there
• 2.) Upon arriving back to the States, I immediately started up classes and shooting the same old stuff.
• 3.) I’ve become a bearded mountain biker that kayaks only occasionally, rather than the inverse.
• 4.) I’m currently remarketing towards editorial rather than photojournalism which has been my primary market for the past three years; and I’m excited.

I wish I could catch everyone up on the details of the past months, but it’s been busy and full, so I’ll just share a few photos. Hope everyone likes the new blog.

Article in Free Hub Magazine

I've been working recently with mountain biker Daniel Sapp to put together a rider bio for Free Hub Magazine. We did two shoots last week in the High Country area with tons of hiking. Free Hub does two annual print issues of about 200 pages, with that nice thick paper, and then a monthly online magazine, with the identical lay out as print. Pretty cool idea, looks like they are doing it right too. This is currently the "article of the week" and come the turn of the month it will go in the online edition, and then in the print edition in the spring.

Thanks to D-Sapp for the hook up and the talented riding!
