Starting to think about winter again. Rally racing is like mountain climbing in cars. Press On Regardless!

The Shipwreck Fransisco Morazan underneath a swirl of stars. I had really big plans for this shoot. I worked the problem solving pretty hard (well into the next day). Mother nature won this round, but I will be back. Timelapse video and final product from this shoot: https://vimeo.com/160106576

Made a successful trip to Salt Lake City for the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2016. This was my first trip to OR and I was using it for a bit of a recon mission. I plan to attend the summer edition to promote my photography in the industry I know so well and appreciate so much. I had several meetings, caught up with many people I have met over the years as a photographer and was also able to catch up with some friendly faces from my days on the retail end. A wonderful treat! A big thanks to those I was able to meet with and talk to. Those who helped and gave advice and also to those who I just had the opportunity to see again. The outdoor community is special and I certainly appreciate it!

Hope to see everyone again in the summer!

Oh yeah! the skiing wasn’t so bad either #workhardplayharder

Ice on the formations on the Great Lakes are worth bearing the cold! Get outside!

Recently I had the opportunity to work with MacFree Films and Conrad Anker on an IMAX film For the National Parks Centennial. I felt instantly a part of the crew, loved their professionalism and hustle. Truly an honor to work with such a motivated group!
