How Do They Get The Ropes Up There?

How Do They Get The Ropes Up There?

As you can see the blog is getting some updates, and it will continue to get buffed out over the next few weeks. I’ve got several shoots coming up that involve lots of traveling, cool places, fun people, etc. I want to do my travels better justice — bigger pictures, easier uploading from the field, [...]

BTS – Shooting on Canon Cliff – Make it an Adventure

BTS - Shooting on Canon Cliff - Make it an Adventure

One of my first corporate clients back in the day was Eastern Mountain Sports an outdoor retailer (similar to REI) with 80 stores up and down the East Coast (The Right Coast – they’d say). Our first shoot was a winter one atop Mt. Washington (the highest peak in the Northeast known for its wicked [...]

Climbing Mag Gets New Editor - Interview With The Ex -

Rumors have been floating around for a while, but while I was in NH shooting, it became official. Matt Samet, a good friend, and uber talented writer and experienced climber had stepped down from his position as Editor in Chief @ Climbing Magazine. I had alluded to how many hats the stripped down editorial staffs [...]


Humpday – In The News

Humpday - In The News

I’m still playing catch-up after getting back to the studio in SLC on Monday. If you haven’t seen it (I hadn’t) the new Rock and Ice photo annual is out and a shot of mine from the Czech Republic is on the cover, super stoked. The inside front cover shot is an Ad of mine [...]


Shoot Quotes from ‘White Lines Red Noses’

Shoot Quotes from 'White Lines Red Noses'

I’ve wanted to resurrect an original part of this blog for a while, Shoot Quotes; if nothing else as a memento to all the characters that I meet along the way. Without their help the shoots I do would have no stories, and want fun are pictures without stories?  It’s impossible to describe all the [...]

The Road Less Traveled

I’ve been summit hopping in the windy, cold, summits of the Northeast with my uber dedicated assistants and a posse of knowledgeable and talented models (we are in an alpine hut with nobody else around for miles)… Pictures to come. But for now, a poem from the region that applies not only to my life [...]

In Print: New InStore Displays

I just got back to the homestead (in NH) after speaking at the Eastern Mountain Sports sell strategy meeting today. It was a great honor to be asked to speak at this private event. Even though this stuff is supposed to be top secret I snapped a few shots with the iphone of some of [...]

Copp-Dash Inspire Award

I lost several good friends last year. Among them were Jonny Copp, Micah Dash, and Wade Johnson in an avalanche in China. The American Alpine Club has set up a grant in their names. Check it out HERE.
Jonny Copp and Micah Dash were two of America’s leading alpine climbers, adventuring to the farthest corners of [...]


DIY: Build Your Own Long Throw Reflector

DIY: Build Your Own Long Throw Reflector

This blog is courtesy of #Intern Matt#, and I think it kicks ass:
The bigger location battery powered strobes kick out 1200w/s of power, recycle quickly, and produce beautiful light… but buying accessories for these packs adds up quick… and can be a serious PITA to keep from getting damaged. So if you are cheap but [...]


Telluride Photo Festival

Telluride Photo Festival

It was just announced that I will be doing a rare 3-day workshop during the Telluride Photo Festival. I say rare, because I haven’t led a workshop in over a year and because it makes spending three days with me sound way cooler. Seriously, if you want to break into outdoor / action sport photography [...]

New Website: Soft Launch

New Website: Soft Launch

I’ve been working my butt off the past few weeks on a website refresh and I’m stoked to say that its just about done. There were a couple reasons for wanting to do an updated site (better video support and easy updates being the biggest two) and I’m excited its 90% there. If you have [...]

New Video: People Profile with Cedar Wright

Well I had hoped to announce the soft launch of my new website today, but its just not in the cards [stay tuned for it later this week?]. What I can share is the first of several video profiles I have in the queue. This is a quick piece about Cedar Wright – a climber, [...]


…Be Part of the Solution?

So after my rant last week about the editorial content and how its driving down the future of a lot of niche publications, I thought I might offer my opinion as to what I would do if I were a publisher of a mag… after all I don’t want to be part of the problem [...]


Behind the Scenes: TNF Athlete Summit

I recently went out to SF for a long 10 days, to shoot a couple different projects for The North Face. One of those was full length ‘portraits’ of their snow sport athletes for the upcoming SIA show in Denver. One of my good friends (and TNF athlete) Renan Ozturk shot some behind the scenes [...]
