Phew! Just got back last night from a commercial shoot in France & Switzerland (as well as spending a couple weeks of personal time in Norway, Paris, Andermatt, & Como), which was just the first of three stages on as many continents. I fly out again Monday morning for stage 2 in Oregon, then stage [...]
Haven’t posted anything lately as I’ve been very busy with a new project that will be launched sometime next week (stay tuned…) In the meantime, I thought I’d post some images from earlier this week at my girlfriend’s house (in Norway).
Pikes Peak International Raceway, Colorado
Images from an ongoing series…
Needed some gritty/muddy running shots for a quick add to my portfolio, so I called up my friend Courtney, a former Cytomax™ athlete who apparently specializes in modeling from the knees down . Although we’d just done a climb/run up Mt. Superior the morning before, Courtney always seems to be up for more pain and [...]
The Wasatch Powderkeg is a ski-mountaineering race that covers nearly 6,000′ vertical feet of climbing and skiing. That is, skiers start from the bottom of Alta ski resort and ‘skin’ (i.e. hike on skis) nearly 2,000′ to the top before racing back down. Repeated 4 times on 3 different peaks. The top racers often finish in [...]

He and his wife have spent the past 15+ years living in a cabin up in Big Cottonwood Canyon, and are faithful members of the LDS Brighton Branch where I attend church. Finally got around to photographing him [...]
Headed down to Death Valley for a few days to shoot some stock images. Kept running into herds of photographers, which was actually a good thing: free models! It was a bit laughable, though, when they kept looking over their shoulder trying to figure out what I was taking pictures of. Or when other photographers would come [...]
Last month I was assigned to photography Black Diamond exec Peter Metcalf and his QA manager, Kolin Powick, on an early morning climb up the south ridge of Mt. Superior (11,132′) for a feature story in Fortune Small Business magazine. We also shot several BD employee/climbers testing winter gear high on Hidden Peak, and taking [...]
I’ve had some late nights recently. Actually, I stay up late all the time, putting-off sleep in a form of procrastination that (ironically) allows me to do more. That’s the general idea anyway… I’m interested in the mood, drama, and color inherent in artificial light, especially when it plays out in ways that those who placed [...]
