Haven’t put anything new up in a couple weeks… but that’s because I’ve been busy! I’m finishing up three video projects this week. One for NOLS; an introduction to a series of videos being made on Leadership. One for the local orchestra; they played a great concert last month which I got paid to capture and am just putting on the final touches. And one for fun; a single-day-shoot we did last sunday to make a short for a local contest. I should have all this stuff up soon.

In the meantime check out these great portraits Brian (fellow video intern) and I took of each other this morning! We’ve been toying around with the light kit a lot these past couple weeks to get some clean interview footage but it transfers well to stills too.

These will DEFINITELY be going on our official NOLS id cards.

It’s only part of the natural progression to blog about one’s cat, no?

Getting back and forth to the local crag was putting more wear and tear on my 1996 biodiesel Volkswagen than I wanted so I got something a bit more “practical.”  My very own truck!

EDIT: April Fool’s!

Took a friday off to make a three day weekend and went down to Utah for some awesome bouldering at Joe’s Valley and Triassic.  Met up with homies from Washington and Colorado.  Here are some choice shots.

Following another career opportunity I relocated to Lander Wyoming to work for the National Outdoor Leadership School doing video production for the marketing department.

The move down was more eventful than I would have hoped.  Just outside of Driggs Idaho a deer decided to end its life on the hood of my car.  Unfortunately my insurance does not cover this and my car will look sadly misshapen for a while.  Fortunately this incident forced me to spend the night in Driggs and finish the drive down to Lander the next morning allowing me to capture this beautiful image of the sun’s rays hitting the Tetons just after sunrise.

Went to the Oregon coast with Mom and Dad.  Spent too much of the week in the hotel room finishing various projects.  But still got out for at least a little while everyday, oh yeah and I ate cheese curds (mmmmm).
