Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Location work
Friday, August 20th, 2010So i decided after a phone-chat with the good-people over at Yakima the other day, to show them some lifestyle-stuff that hasn’t been shot in Oregon.
I’m having a difficult-time understanding why companies insist year-after-year, and season-after-season, on shooting the majority of their collateral in their backyards. Doesn’t this
make location-photographers obsolete? How do you introduce VARIETY to your campaign materials?
Are companies THAT pinched that they can’t spend an extra several hundred dollars to get to another location?
REALLY? wow… Just for the sake of giving someone something different-looking, i wouldn’t even charge transportation-time to get to another location… hell, i’d even drive all my shit there to-boot!
Here’s some stuff shot in what amounts to our backyard… 30min from the house. Minimal-prep (we decided to go about an hour before we packed up and left), some lighting, some props, and some people (including myself in the frame for filler). What did it cost? Less than $100k ?… Think we could do the same for your company? Eh…. probably. Think it would be equally painless? Eh… who knows. We’re not really into drama over here… so my guess is= yes.

Friday, July 16th, 2010I’m off the back once again. Been tied to the desk doing retouching-work and prepping for the OR-show in SLC.
Heading to CB tonight to ride this weekend. May have some photo-updates upon my return!
Have an amazing weekend!

Towers are neat-o
Rock & Ice
Monday, June 28th, 2010What a fun weekend! Actually stepped away from the computer and got out and did some shooting! My friend Dave Clifford (www.davecliffordphotography.com) was teaching at the annual Rock and Ice Photo Workshop up in Marble, CO. So i went up there to (ostensibly) help him drag lights and gear about, and to lend a hand with answering questions etc. What a fun-day we had! Met in Redstone and then drove up past Crystal City… hiked up a scree field and then worked with some 5Ten athletes (climbers) and chatted about photography with students who’d signed up for the workshop! What a fun day! Weather cooperated, light was ok (mostly mid-day, but workable), and everyone was stoked i think! Was super-great to meet new and interesting people and to be outside doing what i love most! Photography!!!!
evolving….
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010so… i think the theme of the week is ‘evolution’. SO many things are going on over here that i don’t really know where to begin. The business is changing/evolving. Things went from the mundane routine of years-past (well, not exactly mundane, but you get the idea… routine i should say) to a shotgun-pace-development with a new rep, an invitation to www.at-edge.com (which was/is amazing and rather sudden), to a massive learning-session with incredible amounts of studying about re-touching… to now contemplating the foundational aspects of getting my new MultiMedia production company launched and marketed. On top of it all, the weekend brought rain/snow to the home… which sort of put a damper on the bike-riding frenzy, and enabled some more constructive work-time that had perhaps been lacking in the past week. I’m also getting off my ass to write here again, which i’ve sorely missed. I spend some time up at the Monastery in Old Snowmass again this evening for some reflection and singing which is always inspirational… MANY thanks, brothers…
Hope you’re having an amazing summer so-far !
Here’s some imagery from the last several weeks.
Re-grouping
Saturday, May 22nd, 2010Just got back into fruita from moab. Some of the most amazing wind I think I’ve seen in quite some time. Blowing sand and thousands of people camping didn’t seem like such a great idea any longer… So now we’re back in Fruita… Working on some low-key concept-stuff for KEEN footwear.
I’ll update with some photos and video here shortly! Hoping for less wind tomorrow so we see fewer tents littering the countryside
