Shop Time
Friday, December 11th, 2009Since I was quite young, I have always spent a lot of time in the shop – designing, building, and tinkering. One of the things I love about photography is it gives me an excuse to continue being creative in the shop. Getting the camera out of my hands and into harder to reach spots is a goal that often guides my photographic process, in order to reveal a different perspective. This inevitably requires some sort of gadget, and I love the process of designing, building (at least in part), and tinkering with the eventual goal of using the boom, or rig, or mount, or whatever it becomes to help gain a unique and/or aesthetic perspective.
In this vein, and in the spirit of testing the video function of my new Nikon D3s, I put together this quick video of some recent time spent making some new equipment that I’ll be using this winter.

Rad Boob Calendar
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009Some friends of mine recently have put a lot of work into making a calendar featuring talented female freeskiers, with the purpose of raising money for breast cancer. I contributed a number of images to the calendar, as I’ve had the privilege of shooting with some of these talented athletes. Check out radboob.com to order a calendar.
Helly Hansen ad
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009Here is an ad for Helly Hansen appearing in Powder and some other magazine titles this month. I shot this in Antarctica last November with Chris Davenport.
Mucho agua!
Monday, November 16th, 2009The south coast of BC has been hit by a series of storms the past ten days, blanketing the higher elevations, and lower down, flooding rivers. I love this time of year. Here is a photo from the Seymour River, in North Vancouver.
Mountain Life, cover
Sunday, November 15th, 2009Here is a new cover for Mountain Life magazine. The photo was taken a couple years ago while staying at “Keiths Hut” at Cerise Creek. I didn’t have a tripod for this long exposure (about 45 minutes if I remember correctly) so I stuck my ski on a 45 degree angle in the snow and balanced the camera on the tip of the ski 3ft or so above the ground.
Haines, Alaska
Monday, November 9th, 2009For the second time this year, I’ve found myself visiting Haines, Alaska. Jacqui, my girlfriend, has been nursing in Whitehorse, and on a visit we took a trip out to Haines. At this time of year the Chum and Coho Salmon are running, and between 3000 and 4000 bald eagles migrate to Haines’ Chilkat River to feast. We counted almost 100 eagles in one spot within easy view.

Powder magazine, Smithers and Terrace feature
Thursday, October 15th, 2009Last season Chad Sayers, writer Dan K. and I took a trip up to Smithers and Terrace, BC. I really enjoyed getting on the ground, seeking out the interesting characters, getting their stories while collecting images of what it is like to ski in the North. The story just hit the shelves in the November issue of Powder, so check it out!
SBC Skier, cover
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I took this image with Chad Sayers in Portillo, Chile last summer. We were involved in a photo contest, and the first few days of the contest didn’t have too much new snow to offer. When it hasn’t snowed in a while, you have to maximize creativity, light, and energy to make an explosive image. Glad to see it got used in a nice spot.
