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!

Green Race

Last weekend I had the pleasure of covering the Green River Race in Saluda, North Carolina for the Winston-Salem Journal. For those of ya'll that don't know, the Green Race is a 4 to 5 minute kayak race through the gnarliest fare of what the Green River has to offer, including racers getting to "spank the monkey" (stomping Gorilla), or "spank" it backwards, like pictured here. Congratulations to all the racers!

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.
