This past spring I was hired to take portraits of 3 fitness competitors in my hometown of Missoula, MT. I don’t do a lot of studio-style portraits but it’s always fun to mix it up and I took advantage of the opportunity to shoot some more dramatic lighting setups at Unparalleled Movement, the parkour gym in town, …
Driving over the swollen Clark Fork river today made me think about some video and stills of the Salish/Kootenai river honoring ceremony on the Flathead River that I shot for the National Wildlife Federation last summer. We’re lucky to have so many great rivers in Montana. If you want to take a minute to honor …
I pass these pigeons every day on my couple block commute to coffee. I decided to take some pictures of them one day about 8 months ago and just finally had time to look at them yesterday. Better late than never. Click on them for the larger size photos.
Walking along another coastline in the Caribbean. Toña is the beer here and I’m drinking one. Sun is about to set. Up ahead I catch sight of a young boy splashing around in the water down behind some rocks. It’s hot and he didn’t bother removing any clothes before he jumped in to cool off. …
I’ve received a lot of great feedback on the travel-lapse that I posted. There were enough people wanting to know more details, that it seemed worth writing a second post about.
This is a very short travel sequence that highlights a time-lapse that I put together recently. The traveling time-lapse shot toward the end of the sequence is the first of it’s kind that I’m aware of. Read the post for more info. As always, click on the little gear symbol at …
That hot sun behind me seems a long ways away now as I sit in my studio on the hemisphere that is tilting ever so slightly away from the sun. This photo is the last frame of a time-lapse that I shot recently for my upcoming film, “Exuma.” The camera snapped this shot of me …
I was recently up in Maine filming black bears for an episode of “Expedition Wild” for National Geographic. I should say “trying” to film black bears. Turns out that bears are hard to find in the dense, northern woods. The magnum Fujinon lens that Grizzly Creek Films has didn’t turn out to be a lot …
I missed pretty much the whole Day of the Dead parade this year. Long story. But sad because if there is one night to walk around Missoula with a camera, that’s it. I did get downtown beforehand though for about 10 minutes to take some photos of the lead-up to the parade. Here are …
I’ve always appreciated Day of the Dead. Partly because I’m a sucker for the Mexican romance and drama and chiles aesthetic and partly because I actually love the idea of focusing on the dead. Not so much for their benefit of course as for ours. The idea of my life’s sand slipping through the hourglass …
