Get to Know Your Local Airline!
I’m packing again, this time for a two week shoot in the San Francisco Area, and getting the bags and equipment ready again got me thinking about all the tough lessons I’ve learned flying the past decade. I’ve never traveled light, whether its climbing gear, snowboards, or camera equipment I have learned the hard way [...]

Ok so hopefully we can wrap up “Behind the Scenes in Yosemite” with this post — by putting all the pieces together. You’ve seen the camera gear, and you’ve seen how we get around on the wall… so just a little composition and we’re ready to go. Sounds simple enough but composing climbing (and action [...]
Behind the Scenes IV: Yosemite Rigging & Hardware
One of the biggest topics I got comments and emails about concerning Yosemite Behind the Scenes was the rigging involved on a shoot like this. I wish I could say it was more elaborate than it was, but really its no different than shooting on a 30’ cliff you could find anywhere… everything is just [...]

Product Design: F-Stop Bags
A couple years ago a friend and colleague approached me about helping design a new line of camera bags. His goal was to produce bags that catered towards the needs of the outdoor, action, and youth photographers that had been coming onto the scene and needing more from their bags than what the current crop [...]
Jungle Marathon Part II: Nikki Kimball
Here’s part II of the Jungla Marathon Series. This piece focuses on a racer that can’t make it to the finish and Nikki Kimball who gives some pro tips for keeping your feet happy. Pretty cool stuff. Shot with the 5d and HPX and again a bit of some TNF product focus. Psyched to hear [...]
Big into Fashion
I’ve been doing a lot of photo and video work that is outside the hardcore ‘outdoor’ world over the past year. Some of it is just now starting to show up in stores and magazines. The first is a cover story of Dawn and Relentless for The Fashion Journal. I love TFJ because its real [...]
